Hey guys,

Welcome to the new forum thread for the E-Team Hobbyplex. Sorry for all of the hassle of switching threads, but I was asked to make a new thread so that new racers looking for a track in Colorado would know what they are looking at. I just wanted to kick this thread off by bringing over a question from the previous thread that still needs everyone's input.

How often would you like to see a track change at the E-Team track?

The layout right now has been used for the last three weeks at least and flows very well. I personally like it a lot. I think it should stick around for another week or two and change right before the New Year's Bash.... Any thoughts?

[RRacerRuss1]

Revolution-Tyler I've always thought that keeping the same layout would really help the new racers. Just because it's one thing they don't have to worry about. I myself think that layout was/is good. It would be a good idea to have like 4 different layouts that flowed well to be able to change up on a monthly basis? As often as I can make it they always seem new

Keep up the good work it's sounding like your getting some good turnout's. I'm hoping to make it up this Sunday (23rd) to get some more 1/12th scale racing in

[Grenade10]

In talking with RinkRat, I think we will be running Wednesday night the 26th. Will try and get to the track at 4:30 so that I have some batteries done prior to racing. Maybe we can get Mr. Darkside to make an appearance??

[revolution31]

Darkside needs to make an appearance this week :P

BTW -- I need to borrow an Oval car to run on Sunday when I'm bored out of my mind in Iowa...any one have anything to offer?

[RC_Dan]

Yes Mr. Darkside needs to show up Wed.

Looking forward to my attempt to knock Fast guy Nottberg out of the lead, I will have a new Komodo in my car in an attempt to give it the needed HP.

See everyone Wed!

[revolution31]

You coming down to practice tonight Dan?

[revolution31]

Just a quick update --

The track is being changed on Saturday night after Oval racing is completed. Chad has a new track layout planned that should also flow very smooth. That means we will be having a new track for Sunday's races. It has pretty much been decided that the track layout will change every three weeks from now on.

Hoping to see a pretty good turn out tomorrow night and this weekend.

See you all tomorrow.
