The building is what made the decision. I found it on craigslist and it was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to wait the rest of the year out, but we couldn't pass this building up. Especially with what a decent guy the landlord is. Very personable and willing to work with us.
Track lighting is done and there working on the pits now. Fitzgerald is coming this afternoon to help me inventory the associated order and reset the wall since we've a lot more stuff coming that I had anticipated when I put the parts on the wall the first time. I'll get a couple shots of the track to post up this afternoon as well.
The A/C units still need to be serviced in the back (landlord is supposed to be doing that this week) before we can run the A/C. They're just blowing hot air right now. Pits are being wired up as I speak, Concession stand should be getting wired up later today or tomorrow, and were getting new lighting in the shop as well. Pit area still needs to be cleaned up and the track needs the dust vacuumed out from around the outside edges so that dust doesn't get blown on to the track.
As it stands people will still need to bring a table to pit off of, a 6 way (power strip) and a small extension cord shouldn't be needed, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to have just in case. Ample lighting, but if your as blind as I tend to be you might want to bring a small light for your pit table just in case.

Honestly, I dont know if I would take the time to drive over if it were shorter. If I am going to take a day to race, I want as much track time as possible.
Now I do wish it could start a little earlier (only because I work Sunday nights), but I also realize that some people have Church on Sundays.

I will have to actually send it tonight as I don't remember all the settings on the car.
I also have some idea for the indoor track. I will let you in on those if they work.

If you are curious, I can send you my setup sheet. It will be the setup I used at TT outdoor track and Loganville. I doubt it will work for you, but it will give you something to compare to the Tebo setups you find online.

My input...6 min quals and 8 to 10 minute mains. We've got the batteries let's use them

On the days that we do 2 qualifiers and a main, could we do a 10min main?
I am still looking for a real truck. I got the money I just need to find the right one. If any one knows anybody that is selling there 80's-90's k5 blazer or truck please let me know.

Sundays are 2 quals and a main so we can get done a little earlier and those who have to get up early Monday for work can do so. I don't care what time we start or end what ever makes you guys happy. We can start at 1 and run a full show and still be done by 6 or even earlier since there is no track prep to deal with.
