Alright, I'm up there tomorrow for some racing.

What tires have you guys found to work best on that surface? I've got Crimefighters, Hole Shots and Eclipses to work with right now.

Good to hear the boys cars held together! I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say to thank your boys from all us on their high energy corner marsheling especially during practice when there is usually nobody out there to flip us back over. Thanks Mel & Matt!
Sorry I broke and left you out there alone to chase Mr. Majorie in CRT.
Maybe we we need to try a tag team aproach. We aren't giving up Mike.

Thanks to Todd, Ron and everyone else who helped me with pitting and general advice when needed. I had a blast racing with you guys and with a little more practice hope to make that A Main after qualifying instead of bumping up from the B (which I missed by a spot). Drive slower and stay on the wheels (repeat to myself over and over).

The track is holding up remarkably well considering the pounding it takes. The worst spot seems to be the launch ramp for the larger left to right table top. It developed a nice pit in the middle and was causing the nose of most buggies to dig in. A little fill and pack should fix it. Great job keeping it in shape everyone.

Right now I plan to make it up for the Aug 30 race day. I should have my buddy Jeff in tow as well. We're an hour drive from the track and have had relatively no practice (well, I've had some but Jeff has never seen it). Is there a way to get some additional practice time in or is it just controlled practice on race day?

Todd,
Get there really early and you can practice all you want up until around 11;30-noon. Then its controlled practrice (Somewhat.LOL)Otherwise you can use the track any time (day) you want, just won't have access to the big drivers stand........any day except friday from 5pm on (Oval Racing) and Saturday for the offroad....but I think they open up the big drivers stand pretty early.....8am or so.

Glad to hear you had a good time, hope to see ya again at the next one. Johnny's a little confused. When we get to the track on Sat and open the gates, it doesn't mean it's practice time. We do maitence to the track and setup shop for a day of racin. Practice starts at 11AM. But any other day you can practice all ya want but Fri it shuts down at 5pm.
