Has the layout changed from the 14th? or is it still the one with the strait by the driver stand and the 2 jumps? Remember when there was that huge jump going away from the stand? stock could clear with ease. You just need jump with some pop.

Yeah we are spoiled to have an indoor clay track in Southern California. As far outdoor tracks are, Pegasus has a great 10th scale track out here. When the track stays wet there is great traction and the layout is fun. Turnout this weekend was low due to the JBRL up in bakersfield.

I visited RC Excitement when I was visiting family in New England a couple years ago. If my memory serves me right, the track seemed a little smaller... maybe about as long, but a bit narrower.
