(hint, if you saw our old outdoor track, its bigger and better, plus has a shaded drivers stand and about triple the pit and parking room. We'll have a hobbyshop on site, concessions, and good times;)

Now if you'd like to chat about what you'd like to run on it, this is the thread.


We know for sure we're running 2wd buggies and SCT. We'll probably try some 1/8 scale e-buggies. But what else would you like to see? Mod SCT? Mod 2wd buggy?

Lets see how many of what will be showing up to race out there!!
We'll be ready to go in just a couple of weeks;)

Sometime before the official opening I am going to bring out my e-8th and see how it does out there. I think it will be fine and the trick will be not over jumping.

The not so damn blurry and extended video will be out in just a few days. :sneaky:

+ YouTube Video

There will also be a promo video after the first race showing actual race footage.

I am very excited about this as I have really missed running outdoors on a regular basis.

With Associated releasing its 4x4 SC10 it would be a great class for that big 'ol track. I would also have a class to run my Slash in. Motor limitations and/or mod restrictions are up to the others to decide. I just want to keep it cheap so I dont have to sink a ton of $$$ into my SLash. Its a big enough money pit as it is.

So amped! Have my B4 back together and ready!

OUTDOOR CLASSES
 

As for now what we are looking at for classes is as follows:
13.5 2wd buggy
17.5 boosted/13.5 non-boosted SCT
1/8E Buggy
4WD OPEN once enough show to split class we will.

We will look at sportsman but as of now I think the track is big enough to run them with their appropriate class.

that video gave me a headache :eek:

I bet it was my taste in music that did it. :lol:

Wow that Video made me dizzy. Wish I could have seen the track .:weird:

Even the blurry footage has me amped! Love the shape of the track!:nod:

It aint squur thats fo sho:D

Awesome!! I will come race on it looks like a fun track, though the music made me wish I was deafer :lol:

Will there be any/plenty shadded pit space? The wife decided to use my easy-up on our back porch and the first rain shower folded it up like a pretzel.

Finally! We can stretch our legs! Any chance we can start seeing a 2wd open class??? What is the early thought on tires? Double Dee's and Rips?

Barcodes, AKA Rebar, Proline Suburbs on the rear and maybe on the front too...

No, I am not kidding. As you will see in the not so blurry version, the SCT in the video is on Barcodes and the rears are nearly bald and the truck was quite good. There will be times that you will goto DD's, though.

If I get enough views on the teaser, I will release the full promo earlier than I had planned. :sneaky:

yea I'm thinking we should be doing the same tire as indoor :)

And yes so far there is a bunch of shaded areas to pit at, no worries there.

What's the deal with the super top secret video? I'm getting anxious to see the non-migraine version :D :lol:

Sweet! But what do I do with the 30 sets of Double Dees I just got???? JK! Rebars are going to be in big demand along with the soft CC foams! Can't wait to breathe fresh air.

I am just trying to build some hype. :D

The teaser was really my idea. I just want to get people super excited about the track so we can have lots of people come out and enjoy it.

Also the track wasnt 100% when taken. Still needs to be raked and a final packing put on it.

that's all I was doing too :D

Hype or not I am ready. Are we there yet are we there yet,

Keep that up and I'll turn this car around right now!

Hey! How come the white blur was always in the front then the red blur would come from behind and hit him in the door blur? Hmmm, Brent, it that you! :lol:

Nah, just the Sawyer brothers doing what they do. :lol:

Ok, I will give you the extended and not blurry version.

I will say this and you better listen. ;) This is the track before it has been raked, packed and swept. As you will see, not even all the pipes are down yet. So, I don't want to hear any TFS complaints from any of you. Everyone got it? Good.

+ YouTube Video

Thanks for the press coverage Richard. Track will be finished week after next and first race is slated for Sunday June 5th.

june 5
 

Sunday june 5th is my birthday - guess Im spending it with you guys - Nice work on the track guys! hopefully we can get enough 4wd 1/10 buggies there that day as well!

Kinda why I left it as "OPEN" for now. If theres enough we will split them up.

The track is huge! I like the tri-lobe design but me thinks I will need my magnifying glasses to see the back straight!! This will definitely be a mod track....hint hint.

once you get on the drivers stand you can see it all, even near-legally-blind me can see the back straight;)

Yes, the iPhone does not do well for things like this in all honesty. It makes the far away things look further away than they are. I am going to try and do something about that before the first race out there.

4wd is going to be KILLER on that track.

This will definitely put the rush on me getting my 4WD!

WOW, that is alot of dirt. How many truckloads is that?
