I just did a YouTube search for Pound It Raceway and it came right up. Track looks good Ray, smooth and good traction are rare for parking lot tracks.

Just got all the cables and connectors for the scoring loop. IT'S ALIVE. Everything seems to be working just fine. I can't believe this is hapening. You always hear of a track opening and you say "I'll believe it when I'm driving on the track." Well you have to show up on the 23rd. to drive on the track. I can't wait.

Hey Ray...I was there practicing with my 18T last week. The track is dialed in and the traction is amazing! I will try to be there more, but I have to work most Saturday's. Thanks again for starting this!

You are always welcome to come and play. You ran really well last time. I hope that we can do battle again.
