Please update the thread when you change your hours. I just drove all the way over there to find out that the track is closed today.

I'm heading out there after work. I should be by around 6pm. Anyone else going? If there are enough people maybe we can get a race in since the ilap is up and running

Post Update

My bad on the hours home130y75: Next track pass is on us.

New hours:
Monday-Closed
Tuesday-Thursday 2pm-9pm
Friday 12pm -9pm
Sat. 10am-8pm
Sun 10-6pm

Well we've been open a little over a week and things are going well. We made a couple of tweaks to the track that seem to be to most everyone's liking. I will post pictures tomorrow as my phone didn't seem to want to work tonight. The biggest change was to the main center jump..we pulled it back and swooped it up to throw you more and then we added a landing bump. We beefed up the first jump on the triple and flattened the landing on the double.

The i-laps system is up and running and spitting out lap times, and it has been working flawlessly. I have 10 house transponders that are there for your use and we are able to print out reports if you like at the end of your runs.

We are currently working on our website and hope to have it up by next week if all goes as expected. It will have everything from track events and pictures to classifieds. So keep an eye out for the announcement.

As for our race schedule, we are leaning towards Tuesday and Thursday nights and Sundays. I think this creates the least amount of conflict with other tracks in the area. Classes: buggy 2wd/4wd, sct 2wd/4wd, slash, vintage, spec/mod.

We hope to hold our first race event by the end of June or first week of July. We will keep you posted.

We are also working with Great plains and Horizon to get our parts and vehicle inventory setup. We are hoping we will have things up and running in about a month.

Come on out to the track and let us know what you think!

Much appreciation,

You can edit your first post so the schedule is accurate. When you are logged in and viewing your own post, there should be an "edit" button on the lower right next to the "quote" and "mq" buttons. Once this post gets buried by a few pages of comments, most people won't even know it's here.

Quickest lap I was able to pull off was a 10.9 I could follow it up, mostly with 11.2-11.7 but I guess at those times it's like splitting hairs

I was running with 2 other buggies the other night and made for some really fun times. I'm going to try and head back out there tonight

City of Streamwood only allows temp sign permits for 30 days. They actually came by on day 31 to make sure it had been removed.

I should be rolling in about a 1/4 to 6 or so. That's all my daughter has been talking about is going to your track or "Pernell's track" as she calls it; so that she can play with Justin & Ryan
