Yes Da Track is 50 x 25 and it is just right.

The oval we run on is 30x15, outside dimensions. I think the running line is about 30'. We go around it in 2.9sec WITH RESTRICTORS!

On our track to "bunch up the racing" we added a .22ohm 5watt resistor in series with the motor.

The funny thing is before that we were running a few 2.9's - 3.2's on the average. Now with the resistors we are running 2.9's very consistently. It really takes the edge off of the fresh packs. Most of us have installed a switch, that way when the batteries flatten out, after about 150-175 laps, we can flip the switch and the "snap" is back.
