Oval Racing

When will you guys be running oval? This would be perfect, 15 minutes from my house.

Hey Guys. Thanks for the kind words. The track is really coming along nicely. I finally got to run my own T2 on Sunday night and was very pleased with the track's layout, surface and traction. We are working on the walls of the stand this week. Should be done by the weekend. I am ordering the timing system on Friday, so hopfully we will be racing in a couple weeks (one week backorder from AMB). It will be open for practice/test and tune until then.
The oval will take a little while to get rolling. We need lighting to make it happen. I am guessing two months or so. But trust me, I am all over it. I want it to happen asap!! We will be out there this weekend Sat and Sun again, so come on out and play.

Pics

Sorry for the delay, been very busy this week...

I took some pictures of the first race day. Unfortunately, the weather kept the good times and adrenaline levels subdued. Art and Dan have done a great job getting this track ready.

I'm bringing up some famous Oakwood ribs for you two and trying to work a deal so you can sell them at the races.

Once the timing system comes in, we will be racing every Sat and Sun. Until then, it is test and tune. I am ordering it tomorrow, so probably the following weekend.

Looks really nice... great job! But after all the hard work and planning... you guys didn't embed a scoring loop

They did imbed an 11' wide scoring loop. Unfortunatly the property owner told them they had to give up 3' on the front edge of the track and this made the imbeded loop useless.
