How did you like the track?????? Driver stand is in the works, we stand on a dirt mound that is roughly 6 feet tall about 20-25 feet long. Its in the backround of this picture.

Well i needed a ride on this beautiful day so to Wellsboro i went. Some unmentionable 70's memories were jarred loose on the way(thanks cheech and chong)! I met Janine at the hobby shop and had a very pleasant visit. Talked to Doug on the phone and got the game plan for the track and then visited the track itself. I was very surprised about the size and quality of the track. And the setting is beautiful, only 5 mile from pa grand canyon. Some lights for night racing maybe? This track should be involved with a Richfield/Altoona series.

Yeah, talked to Rob H. today, was telling me it looks pretty nice, i look forward to rippin it up with the truggy.

Dont know if doug is looking to get into anything this year yet, but there is a series getting ready to start, you guys could maybe get in if you wanted, would need amb, or to work with another track to get that worked out. and some kinda drivers stand. Are you guys not going to use my old drivers stand from my track?
Probably wouldnt be big enough i guess anyway.

Would love to come up sunday, but were already setup to race at altoona.

Will be up soon!!
