Its supposed to cool down a little for the weekend. We're bringing in some extra fans as well. Without the sun grinding on you and some air flow, it doesn't feel too bad in there.

I will have live rc up all week.

That is cool seeing the track build on LRC. Looking forward to another awesome track and low tire wear. And with the heat no better place to be racing.

Lars Johnson from Colorado signed up today. This is shaping up to be the largest 8th scale race at the Plex ever.

I should have track photos up later today or tomorrow for sure.

The layout is shaping up nicely.

You're kidding right??? YOU got to see my 20' slide BUT I didn't fall??? I commented to Alex that I hoped no one was watching.....

NO ONE should have had to see THAT....

The track looks really good - Alex puts a LOT of work into these and he has 2 more change overs in the next couple of weeks.... I'm going to say by the 2nd week of August he's going to be one tired fuzzy buddy!
