Track is 36x65, with 12 foot infield. The end with poles has the ice at least 2 feet past the poles.
rcsteve 10-11-2009, 09:25 PM I was looking for a track to run my KSG the weekend of October 17 around St Louis Mo.
Happy to find one. I will be coming from the Columbus Ohio area. The track looks nice, cant wait to run on it.

Don't forget the tire truer, and my tires that I left in your car from the last road trip.

Bob W 10-20-2009, 07:59 PM The track was really good . Just need more people.
ToddFalkowski 10-20-2009, 08:11 PM 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! :)
Bob W 10-20-2009, 08:59 PM We will be running 13.5 but if U let us know, we can get a few guys to run a 10.5. class
ToddFalkowski 10-20-2009, 09:55 PM We will be running 13.5 but if U let us know, we can get a few guys to run a 10.5. class
Thanks Bob... Gonna try to build a 13.5/1C car eventually- seems it's all anyone's running (can't blame them, though).
MK Race 10-24-2009, 11:32 PM Well first day of racing. Bob holds the track record now.
62 laps 4:02 i think.
rcsteve 10-28-2009, 04:39 PM I made it back to Ohio, enjoyed getting to see Glad Scope hobby store and the track, very nice people, :wave: hope to see some of the racers at the new track close to Columbus Ohio, it should be opening Nov 7 :thumbsup:
MK Race 11-02-2009, 06:25 PM We had a lot of fun racing the Losi Mini Latemodels last Saturday. We had 8 cars and astarted at 5pm and were out the doors by 8pm.
I hear there might be some pan car guys coming this Saturday.
JBRACER2 11-08-2009, 10:42 AM Glad to see you guys have a track. I will have to come by and see you guys.
MK Race 11-08-2009, 12:36 PM 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?
JBRACER2 11-10-2009, 12:20 AM He will be 11 in Jan. What about Andrew.
MK Race 11-10-2009, 08:42 AM 16 and driving now. Now the rest of my beard will be gray.

MK Race 11-20-2009, 12:04 AM Racing this Saturday. Should be a good turnout of Mini latemodels and 13.5 pancars.
Drew should have his 13.5 car ready for us to kick his on-road butt.
MK Race 12-15-2009, 07:45 PM 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.
What is your racing schedule\classes?
MK Race 12-23-2009, 01:51 PM Oval racing just on Saturdays now.Track opens at noon, racing at 5pm.
Losi mini latemodel has been the big class so far.
We have guys with 13.5 single cell pan cars, if they show up. Not too sure about racing this Saturday yet.
couple of us were thinking about coming up on the 2nd since we'd be up that way. we could run 13.5 single.
You guys racing this Sat? We can get 3 to run 13.5. Not sure if we can get a cot body by then though.
MK Race 12-31-2009, 03:43 PM We are racing this Saturday. Doors open at noon and racing starts at 5pm.
