Sorry for the delay. We will lay down the track at around 12:30 but there will be no lap counter. We are looking just to see how long to setup and get a feal for the asphalt. It's basically a brand new paving with alot of grip.

We're working on the rest of the schedule. It will be posted on this forum when ready on the first page.
Entry donation is 20.00 for as many classes as you want to run.
With the modest entry there are no prises.

I'm glad to run other classes. If we get four entries we will run an additional class.

Default Track maintenence

Well with the small amount of help that we had today we sure got alot done! We moved about 200 wheelbarrels full of sand to the other side of the boardwalk. Created a buffer zone about 4 feet wide around the track and cleaned up alot of the pit area of sand. Also repositioned the yellow tube so it meets on the far side of the track. All in all it looks nicer and should be easier to prep for race day. Weather permitting!!

I would like to thank the guys who came out to help:

Billy Winter
Ralph Speranz
Bobby K
Scott Schick
Auston Shick
Joe Mirra Sr.
Joe Mirra Jr.
John Brown


When you see these guys give them an "attaboy"

Welcome home!

In TT01 you must use the stock spur gear (61 tooth) and you are aloud up to a 22 tooth pinion. Don't forget the gears are metric 48 pitch.

We are still using 5.2 ratio for VTA ( You can run 21.5 or 25.5 )

I spoke to John Lee at SWEEP and we will have Blues and Greens in this week. In TT01 you can mix and match blue and green. I will be breaking up sets if you want one pair of each. $25.00 set of four.
