If the track is being redone tomorrow does that mean weather permitting it'll be open on Saturday for racing?

Oh and thanks for kicking of a new thread Mr Thomas :thumbsup:

Im workin on changing the entire track in the morning if anyone wants to come out in the late afternoon and see if you like it. Practice laps will show the good parts and what needs to be altered so it be helpful if anyone wants to stop up!

Let me tell you the track is fast and if you think it easy its not cause finding the fast line through it may not be the fastest like you think! Its great for every class from slash to A scale but the fastest to get around this track is 4wd buggy from my track testing. Lets get out there and race tomorrow Hobbytown lives! and is alive as ever!!!

If it rained in Hell, wouldn't it cool that place off?
I thought it only rained fire and Brimstone in Hell?
Has anybody been there and could help us out here?
Notice I didn't ask, "Who is GOING there?"
We all have our own opinions on that!

If you got an EMAXX or sealed waterproof electroncs, I'd say paractice on the track would be a go for ya today stealth! Otherwise... Hoping the rain passes quickly and has time to dry out a little! Day is still young, lets keep our fingers crossed! The track is a blast to drive!

Wow you guys are good.....

The pictures missed the table top in the back stretch on the right side of the course.
We have also had a suggestion to put another table top where you see the first two little jumps going into the first turn. ( i Like this Idea )

More importantly...when viewed from the drivers stand all landing areas are visible, there is extra space on the side of the three bigger jumps in the middle, good marshalling area.

I believe that it will be a fast track and with a minor tweek in the middlesection we can ad another run of 40 feet or so........

Hoping the rain cleaned it up and you like the new layout....

Track Changes

I greatly appreciate all the positive suggestions on adding jumps etc to the new track layout.
We will make these changes shortly but please do not without approval make any changes to the existing layout.

My fear is that changes will be left incomplete and will require additional undue work on our part.


Thanks

Shawn Burford

Weather permitting we will be racing this weekend.
Starting times have been moved to 1pm, Registration will open at Noon.

glad to hear sat is on, Im hoping to make it out. Still need some parts for the buggy so not sure what Ill run yet.

Stopped out and walked the track. I second Slash's comments, right side (from the driver stand) is awful flat, would like to see some elevation changes if not Slashes suggestions (maybe one of the 180 turns being raised).

I'd like to see the tubes extended on the first right hand at the far left side of the track, Nice big bank you all put in but drive line isnt going to go near it atm, extend the tube a bit and itll use that bank nicely. Would suggest doing the same thing after the back table-top. This way you get up on the bank and not just flat after the TT. Besides these dont require moving any dirt :)

Anyway just my thoughts, see ya all Saturday.
