Fred - Place looks great - it is always nice to see a new track on the map. Can't wait for your first week of oval. MK

i would love to see every week. at the min every other week

Looks like a cool place Fred. I'll definity come n check it out when your up in runnin

Thanks to everyone that has visited our thread so far.
I hope to have a first class race facility.
We will be putting down new ozite, nice boarders and lane divider.
Please help spread the word. As soon as BRL post a schedule I will work ours out and get it posted. I too would like to run a weekly program but am unsure of the turn out potential at this point.

There's some names here I haven't seen in quite awhile!!!!!!!!!

Thats probably because your to old to read.
Butch

Butch is very alive and well--GREAT !!!

We've got that hole in the wall patched up, the carpet laid out and the vinyl lane dividers hauled in. So things are starting to move along!!!

Fred, thanks for the PM. Definately will be visiting there this winter! I would go every other week on oval. The turnout would be very up and down if you did it every week.

Butch is very alive and well--GREAT !!!
Yep, he sure is. And at his age that's saying alot!
I heard he has a fancy new cane as well. LoL!!! :tongue:

cane? The last time that I saw him he was using a walker!

Fred, thanks for the PM. Definately will be visiting there this winter! I would go every other week on oval. The turnout would be very up and down if you did it every week.
Thanks Dave.
Now that the BRL schedule has been posted I'm working on mine. Will post it very soon.

We had a great crew last night, thanks,
We have the driver stand and ramp done and a fair amount of the boarders assembled.

thanks for info. we would like to race there. we run 13.5 pan car. do you plan on having parts at the track?

If a guy was going racing with you pro level guys and was going to run a custom works car wich one should he get. Opinions please!

Thanks,
Duke.

Duke, All that I have ever had is a solid, but a friend of mine has both. He prefers the solid for shorter tracks and the slider for larger (approx.200' rl ).

thanks for info. we would like to race there. we run 13.5 pan car. do you plan on having parts at the track?
We would be happy to have you. I will not have parts support at this point.

Duke,

Either one would work just fine, but I would probably go with the slider if I was you.

Dave

looks good i would like to see every week will you have parts in your shop? are you doing a corse track or oval ??? or both would like to see oval @ lease once a week...or every other week....

Thanks guys for the custom works advice.

Dave, will you be running in GR this year?

Duke

Dave, will you be running in GR this year?

Duke
I will probably be there once a month or more

Thanks,
We will not be stocking parts at this time. Our focus will be on Oval and road course. Right now I have a tentative schedule of twice a month for oval but if there is enough interest that can change.

Looking good!!!

Kieth,
Hopefully you'll be able to get down 28th street next time you come to check out our track. With the 28th street metro cruise going on Saturday I think the average speed on 28 street was something like 5 miles an hour. The Rogers Plaza parking lot where we are located in that mall was transformed into a showroom Saturday, Between 13,000 and 15,000 classic cars were on display...

What if you dont have a transponder? I would like to run on the 9th and buyin a transponder right now wont work for me... you had said something about renting /to buy and you explain it to me the break down $$ thanks christopher.

I haven't ordered any as of yet. My best deal is if I buy 10 at a time. Other wise they are $94.00 each plus S&H.
I have an extra personal of my own that I can rent to you for the day.
I will get as few or as many as people want.

The rent to own program will go like this.
$30.00 down and $10.00 each time you rent it until its payed for. After 8 rental payments you will be able to keep it. Total cost to you will be $100.00

thanks for the info...

We are set to run our first Oval race on September 9.
I'd like to take roll call to get an idea of how many may will show for the season opener.
Thanks,
-Fred

Hey Fred

I'm planning on being there. I think someone else is coming with me. Last I talked to Keith he said he and a few others were planning on making it.

C'ya on the 9th.

Doesn't look like i'll be able to make on the 9th. Got a family reunion to go to.

Bring the family with you Jon.

We are looking forward to this season. It has been far to long since we've had an oval program in Grand Rapids.

Chad,
Not sure what the run line is as I've had road course set up since we've opened on the 25th.
Hope you can make it out.
