April 7th is a track building day! Building the new Asphalt oval. We need all the help we can get. The changes at Mountwood will be massive.

We hope to build a covered pit area for racers this summer. Hopefully before the WV States race in July.

See ya there!

Tom

I never had a problem with cracked wheels. Does that happen when a car hits the board?

Hey Tom -
Are you all building the Oval Layout on the current track or are you all building it on the other side of the Scoring Building?

Very informed Ky!!

The first tennis court is about 100x100. We plan to use about 45x100 of it for the oval. We will have the rest 100x55 for pit. Our plans are this summer to build a covered section there.

We are going to discuss this a little further at our meeting Thursday. However, the first tennis court is the smoothest!

Thanks
Tom

Clark doesn't jest......and don't call him Shirley.

He has become bored with embarassing all of us on the roadcourse....he's looking for more worlds to conquer.

Conquering Clark Smith. Fear thy name.

Hey now, I ran me some Oval at our Oval State Race with my '007 that still had my "onroad" set up on it, old tires, and old 3800's and still had one of the fastest lap times. Placed quite well if I might add.

Go Speed racer Go!!

The oval at the mount will be a blast to race. We will have a Touring oval class and an unlimited oval class. Should be able to get a car up to 80 around the track.
