Is this track going to be stand alone, or connected to the offroad track with a hole in the wall? Will we be able to run on both tracks for 1 practice fee, or will it be a separate fee to run on the carpet track?

They are knocking a hole in the wall and putting doors up between the tracks so you won't have to exit the building.

I am sure it will be a little more than 'a hole in the wall'....

Yes, they are planning to put a DOORWAY between the two tracks. This will be convenient as well as keep most of the dust from the offroad track away from the carpet.

Nice man. I'm gonna stop by today to check things out. My sedan is built and my 1/12 will be ready in a couple days. Can't wait to see the finished track!

Parma Speed 8 LW for stock (more steering and less grip) or CRC Audi R8C LW or Protoform Speed 12B LW (although either of these are less popular)

Protoform Speed 12 LW for Mod (more downforce)
