Thank you everyone that has been able to help Pat and I get this going.
We really can't thank you enough.
So, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you....

For more info and updates on the track you can find us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/X-treme-Carpet-Raceway/579834262068299

In the near future we'll have more details on hours, classes, etc.

Right now here is the tentative plan.

All rules will be officially published in the near future, so take the following as a guideline, guaranteed to change.

Wednesday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM - Practice
Saturday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM (At the end of racing, the track will be open for practice till closing time)
Sunday - To Be Determined

Going to alternate between oval, road course, and off-road as demand dictates.
The classes we are considering currently are:

Oval Classes

17.5 Truck - TOUR Rules
13.5 Spec - TOUR Rules
XCR - 17.5 Turnigy Motors
Michigan Spec - 17.5
Legends
EDM-Mud Boss Slash -
Any other classes that have at least 3 entries

Road Course

VTA
1/12
Touring Car 4wd
Legends????
Any other classes that we have at least 3 entries.

Off-Road

17.5 Buggy 2wd
17.5 Short Course 2wd
Mini-Buggies
And any other classes that we have at least 3 entries.

EXCEPTIONS - NO, I repeat NO 1/8 scale buggies. No 4wd Buggies. No 4wd Short course Trucks or Converted 4wd 1/8 scale buggies.

Until we get some track time and see how it works out, we are going to limit our classes to 17.5 motors and 2s LiPo batteries, blinky speedos.

If the track layout allows us to SAFELY run 13.5 motors or mod/open timing speedos we may expand the buggy and short course classes, as well as to 4wd buggy and 4wd short course.

Again, thank you all VERY much for the help and we can't wait to get the track open and start turning laps.

you guys might want to get in touch with the MBM podcast guys not sure if anyone on here are listeners of the show but they mainly run indoor off-road carpet with the sault rc club and kc hobbies I'm sure they would be happy to give out pointers or possibly even have you guys on the show to promote the track...
