Any chance you can put up a photo or two so we can see what the place looks like and also see how it comes along over time

Sorry.. no photos.. the stand and track are FAR from finished, and I really don't want or need any negative comments just yet. Not like that happens much on forums anyway.. LOL

Was at the track today as we are getting a segment in the local rag to help promote it, and even then I didn't want the track to be the focus of the shots.

Need to poison the grass (doing on Thursday) and once dead we will start shaping the track corners and jumps.

Been running the 1/8th electrics around with 4S for a kick and to get an idea of the flow of the layout. It definitely seems wide enough to run 1/8.. maybe a bit short.. But the bigger buggies are helping to smooth out the track a bit.. and not getting even close to full throttle, and getting about 20mins run time.



We are also having our first meeting to form the club on Tuesday night if anyone is interested.
