Probably will have to pit near the track, due to teching of cars and such.

That is because the Hobbyplex stocks the medium compound for some weird reason. Soft citiblocks are the ticket in buggy.

Would the soft city blocks last from Friday through Sunday, assuming at least one bump up? That's my usual. LOL. Can't quite set myself in the A just yet.

in intermediate? camon chris?
I haven't run soft city blocks, but apparently the soft is the way to go, I didn't like the mediums in buggy. They'll probably make it to the mains, they will most certainly be no good after the mains.

Indoor Pit area is less then 20 foot to the track from the door, at furthest you may be 175 foot.

I know, i know. Just don't have the mojo to be as fast as the open guys. LOL. Unfortunately I started the year in intermediate thinking I HAD to have some sort of sponsorship to race the Open class. But I learned after the first race, that's not the case.

It would be nice if we had a old metal or wood table outside near the scoring shack especially for these larger races as a warm up area and tech table, We have decent room in the pits but the platforms mounted to the stand aren't real big and gravity has taken some effect on them. I'll check into what we have at the power plant but I'm guessing most of it would be overkill.

Get the table for free but have to rent a crane to unload it

Chris has a table in his garage that would work perfect for that.

At our last pro series race, I had a couple of tables right outside the overhead door just for that purpose. It worked rather well. Fixing the working pit is on the agenda during the next track build, though.

Citiblocks-soft
Eclipse-Red??? I presume.
Revolvers-M2 or M3??

Do the normal Proline tires work as well; Crimefighters, bowties, holeshots?
Does the track blue groove over a weekend of racing?
