Timing system? Washroom facilities? Power? Parking? Pit space?

I'm looking forward to another place to play. RC GEARS and this place. Hmmmmm......

Scott, we have 22,000 square feet of shop space on over 10 acres in Airdrie where the track is located. Timing system will be in before any races are run, also power and water are being hooked up in the next week or so. The first actual race on the track will not be for a couple (or 3)weeks.

I've tried to look up the address on google street view but I'm having trouble pinpointing the autowerkes building. Did you just recently move into this space? If so, what business was in there before?

Thanks

Cory, the track feels really good with an 8th scale buggy.....its not a huge track being only 120'x70' or so but the layout feels flowing with some nice technical jump sections. We have had a few guys run on it already for testing and so far everyone likes it alot.
