We really do need to find some way to get more tracks here in the U.S. and try and keep the ones we already have. The lost of 301 let's me know that it's pretty hard to keep them here in the United States. I think that most Americans are just not that big on Auto racing. Most like foolish entertainment like talk shows and surreal life shows. Sad but true.

There actually is. There is one in Battle Ground Washington. The place is called Timezone Racing. They have a Europeon style asphalt track and a big carpet track. The website is www.Timezoneracing.com

There was also one in Linville, VA. Not sure if it is still there or not. Unfortunately it was a bit too small and narrow for 1/8th but was a brilliant TC track.

In Europe the season has just started in the southern part but for the rest we probably just have had the first outdoor training sessions.....

The interface I use from my Win Mobile phone is almost always Pistachio, which gets you all the important stuff, and leaves out the "fancy" stuff that uses up space and slows things down.
If you have a terrible connection, and just want to read, not see the images, "Vanilla" works fine as well - I used to use that when I things were really slow.
Either interface makes it easy both to read and to respond. If you use the "Abalone" interface, there is too much "fancy" stuff that gets in the way of the information.

The video of Art is now posted, both in both the magazine and the on-road forum. (Sign-ups for the SGRID forum that are good for a year, are still free through the end of August, if you're a racer.)
I'm not sure how the video will work on a phone, but here's the link if you want to get to it from here:

Another thing about european tracks is that they not only have a long straight, but they are also deeper, the tracks in the use are long, but narrow.

Later a double chicane will be added as cars enter the pit lane to slow them down and protect the pit people.
