Saw the spectacular track for the first time today, Sure got some awesome but tricky jumps in the mix. Surprised the Mini T's handled things well, personally i find this track a little intimidating for 10th scale electric buggies or perhaps it was just those skyhigh jumps?

do you think they will allow for a mini class consisting of nitro/electric 16th scale and nitro/electric 18TH scale for 5minute quals and main ,,,,,, is there an interest out there for it ,,,, this is the perfect size track to test skill and go fast and fly high

I was surprised at how fast my mini could get around the track

btw,, wheels would be the best time to go there for practice,,,, preferably when the ratio of sizes are more even,,, just as many 10th scales as 8th scales

OMG SO MANY RACERS at Rev yesterday! AND so many PROS! Drake, Tillman, Truhe....I wish I coulda made it.... Even though I only finished 2nd in Beginner last week, not bad for my first time racing buggy.. The new track looks SO good though.

BTW the OFFROAD live cam needs to be turned now....Its no fun looking at the parking lot.

The turnout yesterday, you'd be forgiven thinking it was a frigging national , speaking of parking lot, every bit of space that can be used was Used!! even at the entrance and double parking? .. It was tight

Ya, I figured parking will almost always be bad at Revelation. I never park by the Hobby shop, but instead off of Monte Vista because I hate to be blocked in. Sometimes you break a part that neither you nor Airland has, and you just want to go home....5+hrs at a track can be tiring.

Oh, a question for those that have driven the new track. Does the wind usually blow across the pits like it did with the old track? I had to vacuum out my F8 pit bag from last weekend! Also, is it the same type of dirt as the old track?

The new track looks great! I think I'm gonna have to take another look at running nitro.

So how did the new track hold up to all that punishment?

Same tires as the old track?
