I'm standing (ok, really sitting but you get my drift!) here waiting for Steve to get me the results so that I can get them posted....
I even sent him, Josh & Debbie a reminder last night.......
Soooooo, as soon as I get it from them I'll have it posted!

The last I heard, Jim N. took the result sheets to scan and email to you. So who knows...

Yo: I took the pictures that I had of the track down because they were taken before the track was fully completed; frankly, they didn't do the layout justice.
Having run the track for the first time Saturday night all I can say is that it is one of the more fun tracks that I have ever run on - the "mega table" is very cool - you don't have to go fast (or "sky" it) to get over it and using a bit of restraint is certainly much easier on your car/truck.
I've got results now posted from the Stock Shootout along with last night's results (and even a few pictures)!
Hopefully I'll get my camera by there on Tuesday for some "finished" shots of the track.

the track is a very cool layout, and also can be very technical. That 3 foot drop off the table was a little too much for me, and my buggy. I probably won't be back up until I hear he changed the track direction, I think going the other way over that thing, would be alot easier on the buggies.

Unfortunately, for some reason, I have heard that they do not switch directions (except for that night the PC puked). Not sure why that is.

Boat: My understanding (and feel free to call STeve to verify) is that in a couple of weeks he's going to set the track up to run backwards from the way it is now - so you'll have a steep up hill and then a shallow down hill grade.....
By any standard, this track is truly unusual! It's a LOT of fun to drive (in my opinion) and is NOT NECESSARILY tough on equipment unless you choose to banzai the jumps.... I broke my Yokomo Saturday BUT it was clearly driver error - I brushed the outside wall in the WRONG place - killed an arm...... BUT, that was truly "operator error" on my part!
OK, well, I'm going to blame it on a YOKOMO design defect then....

Boat -
Yes, Hillbilly does run tracks backwards. Not sure why he didn't on the last one, but usually we do run them backwards. And like Chris said, I do know that he is going to run the current layout backwards.

What was going on this afternoon is that Steve & crew were doing a "tweek" on the track - a more gentle "down side" to the big table top was being made - it wasn't finished when I took my pictures.
You can get a look at the track by flipping your channel to:

and there's a link from the front page!
My opinion: what was a fun track to drive just got "funner"!!!!

Chris the track looks cool, but don't think my Pan car will handle the ramp.

Shane: you can leave your pan car at home - I'll loan you my T-4 with the 14 dbl Revolution..... If you'd like a bit more motor, I'm sure it can be arranged!!!!!!!!!
I'll be on your phone in a bit - office ladies out to lunch and phones keep on ringing!
