Here's a shot with the road course setup.

Track is 36x65, with 12 foot infield. The end with poles has the ice at least 2 feet past the poles.

Do you guys see anyone running 10.5 / 1C on a "regular" basis up there? I know how startup things work, but get through St Louis a bit, wouldn't mind running some laps- track is the size of mine! :)

Thanks Bob... Gonna try to build a 13.5/1C car eventually- seems it's all anyone's running (can't blame them, though).

Wait a minute, I think I know that face. Bob buys 2 cars every year and never gets rid of any so you have about 10 different cars to pick from.

Little Josh still little?

Well after spending the weekend in Omaha for the BRL and freezing our butts off, looks like we're ready for some short track action at Glidescope.

I think there's going to be a few out of towners coming in too.
