Has anyone run on the track yet? Was wondering what kind of tires are working in 2wd buggy. I'm guessing green/M4 double-d/holeshot type tires.

I cant wait to get on this track. I'm hoping to bring both my SC and Oval cars out here soon to give a go on both tracks.

Something else you guys may want to consider is using the BMX track for 5th Scale racing. I stumbled upon some youtube videos this morning showing folks running them on those types of tracks. Looked crazy fun to see a 1/5 scale Losi SC 20ft in the air!

Due to Mother Nature dumping 3 inches of rain practice will start on Friday. The track survived but will need some work. Good news is there is no standing water on the track. The forecast is for thunder showers on Thursday. All we can do is wait and see.

They're calling for more severe weather thursday for similar conditions to Monday. I swear it rained more this month than last

Tracks are a little rough from all the wonderful weather we had this week but they are drivable.

Had some time today to run a pack through my ST at the new track. For the surface still being a little rough, grip was still pretty decent and the layout was just terrific. Definitely the new place to be this summer.

I took a quick video of Kyle running his buggy. enjoy!

Got to stop by and check out the new track yesterday. It's dialed. Frank Henry has done a spectacular job building the track and the layout is really cool, it has a great flow to it. Even with all the rain we had the past week the surface was still good and has good traction. I had my 22 with me and couple charged batteries so I got to burn them up on the track.

For tires I ran JConcepts Green Rips in the front and Green Double-D's in the rear with stock And1 foam front and rear. Seemed to work pretty well.

Track was awesome Saturday you can really carry some speed down that straightaway and the turn that sweeps around before the first jump, nothing like some four wheel drifting in my 4x4 sc, gold barcodes from bumps were working ok, someone said super soft holeshots were the best will have to invest.
