Racing at trains and lanes should be a big hit this year.A racers dream,dirt oval track,carpet oval,asphalt oval,and offroad.Jeff is trying to get the asphalt track sealed asap,we just do not know what to use?any one know please post.thanks.I believe the dirt oval track will be a huge success also.nice big smooth track with some brite lights just installed.gas and electric should be a huge turn out.see everyone soon for some great racing at Trains &Lanes super speedway.

last nite was the first run on the carpet track upstairs.it was a good turnout for a not so advertised track.next week there will be racing sat nite.the track is a little bigger than the strand i believe.we sprayed paragon on the carpet to increase bite.the track actually started to get a black brove in it and seemed to be a good time for the first nite on the track.i will try to post a few pictures of it this week.

Ozzie - Racing was great the grooved up after a few hours, there was plenty of grip by the time qualifying started.
Track sealer - Give Bruce at Mushroom bowl a call the sealer they used there worked out really well, I think the # is 610-444-1850.

Good start for a place that has been racing R/C for 20+ years. Hopefully with continued work from Jake and the club members this can be a great place to race weekly. The asphalt track is a fun track and hopefully the season will start soon. Good time yesterday and in a few hours the track was getting back into shape.

thats awesome to hear theres another track coming back to old glory. remember the more help from the locals the better the track will be. kinda like wayne and dirt runners. they have tons of racers! good luck will you be racing in 2 weeks? might make the trip to run 4300.

what days can you go and practice on the carpet oval? or is it just on race days?

Practice anytime, long as the store is open, Hope everyone had a good time.

I think in the main a 61 lap run was put down in 4:02.

duhhhhhhh! Niftech is by far, as bad as Paragon. I first used that stuff at the Strand and I had a head ach as bad as from Paragon. :drunk:

Several of us tried a few different products and liked the hand cleaner the best.

is there going to be any racing this weekend of the 14th some of us might have to find a different place to race. due to weather.

UH YEAH what he asked ......................... I see a door opening time of 10 BUT when does racing begin ?????

i think alotta guys wanted to start at 4 i think jake said 2.better askjake
we need to be done by 9-930 and out of the building

jake said 4 last week for a start time this week

it should be a real fun day
i may even run 2 classes :hat:

Hobby shop opens at 10:00, Racing will start at 4:00. Going to try and get the infield finished.

2 classes?lol i know i am a glutten too lol i may run 2 classes wit ya.

Jake uses an odorless tire traction that is guaranteed to get bite-on any surface...:cool:

2 classes?lol i know i am a glutten too lol i may run 2 classes wit ya.
if i had more carpet tires i would run 2 classes but just stock for me

Todd
I'm just sticking to the plan

I didn't think that the handcleaner thing would work that good but Doug was right. Al, bring $$ for the 70mph fast balls.

61 laps sounds a lot bigger than the strand.

cory rember the track reacord when the strand was loop carpet???????????????? the turns are the same the straits are a little longer and about 1 ft narrower

also 1st week out of the box im sure it will pick up by next winter lets just hope it gets enuff suport that they will get carpet like the strand that they can roll up everyweek and not get messed up..

do they roll it up every week brock?

no it's been laid out for the last 12 years or longer and thats why it was in such bad shape

ic..........

no it's been laid out for the last 12 years or longer and thats why it was in such bad shape

12 years???
that carpet is as old as you

ok so 17+ years

..........

If I remember right the track is on the second floor. I also seem to remember a wide stair case to the second floor. BUT is there a elevator that we might be able to use ?????? I ask for those of us with that extra amount of stuff and those with bad ankles that really should not be doing stairs.

Also do we need to bring table, chair and cords ??????
