We are going to start off racing at least once a month (dates will be posted monday after opening day.) If the local interest is high we will consider being open every other week (at which dates will still be posted.)

We hope that every one will be able to come join us for opening day for some great racing on a new race track, Those that can't make opening day stay tuned for our race schedule and come check us out.

What style of tires/compound worked for you guys last year?
if your running 2w buggy Pink megabites work good when the track is really wet if it is a little dry i found using losi red studs are really consitant, jconcepts goosebumps are pretty hooked up also. as shawn said soft cityblocks are about the best tire i found for corr and 8scale.

I believe a couple guys from the pa area are going to be at the opener running 2wd buggy as well.

just got done on the track and it is looking really good...I will post pictures no sooner than wednesday and no later than thursday night.

one thing that I didnt take into consideration till this week is a pit lane for nitro...nothing against you nitro guys i love to run it my self but we have never needed a pit lane here at the track.

so on that note...i will be putting a pit lane in for this weekend for those that do run nitro...i most likely wont get an elevated pit done in time for the weekend but It will be done by the next race for sure.

i will keep posting here nightly so if any questions please do ask and i will get back to you asap.

Bill, If we are only running 7 minute mains, most of us nitro guys will not need to refuel during the main. Don't kill yourself to make a raised pit lane for the one or two of the nitro burners that will show up.:)

BTW- Thomas can bend over to fuel me up any how:wave:
