The new Design Requires more track barriers than i have on hand right now. That new layout is on hold for a lil while. But that should'nt stop you from coming down and trying out our track. Those that have been here have had a blast and been back for more. Come on down next week for some road course racing action.

Thinking about bringing this track back to life with running just oval. I feel this 30'x40' track area we have layed with CRC Ozite carpet would be a TON OF FUN running the BRP Cars. Any Thoughts/Interest? Let us know.

I got my new BRP kit in the mail monday night. Assy has been started. We have some kits on order for the store. They should be in this week. We'll be having an open house after the holidays. Pics are on the way. If you got an XMOD car, This track is perfect for them. My son and his friend plan to be running a class of box stock xmods, We can also run associated 1/18th kits. I ran my 18b with my sons xmod, Alot of fun!

We started with the x-mods at ken k's house. Wanted something faster and more like a pan car so we went with the BRP. Might just have to take a ride. Bring that car down Mike. I have a car your son can run as well.

Car is coming along nice. Body is trimmed and Painted, All that left is the servo. We sold a complete kit Thursday to a new racer. We'll be running the track Mondays for Test-N-Tune and racing Friday Evenings to get started. The track will be open for rentals and others on some Saturdays. We're still working on those pics.
