Hey Everyone,

Sorry its taken me so long to post again, been busy with the track and everything.

As Ty said we are having a work weekend again this weekend. All are welcome to come and help. (Please bring rakes and Shovels)

If we get a good turnout we hope to have the track ready to race on by the end of this weekend or next at the latest.

We would like to have races on Memorial day weekend.

We can't wait to start racing!!!!!!

We will have some extras.

Hopefully there is a good turnout and we have it "raceable" by Sunday. The waiting is unacceptable any longer...it's time to race.

Default track and stand

Just want to say track and drivers stand looks AWESOME ! I took a load of rough cut 4x6 lumber over for the retaining walls. I'm sure they will put it to good use !
Good job guys !!![

Thanks to everyone that help out this weekend, the track is looking great!
Len, it was good to see a new face around and hopefully we'll do some racing together.
Matt and Issac, glad you had a great time running today and thanks for the pointers.

Hobby headquarters will be racing sat afternoon and evening, but i'll have to get up there fri or sun for some fun. Let me know when some of the guys will be there practicing. Another drive with some dandy 70's memories.

Just wanted to say that the track looks great and my son and I had a blast this past weekend(until he broke the truck). I think the people that were up there were a great group and we look forward to a great year on the track. I hope the weather holds out fo us this weekend as well.
