Rumer is there might be a new track in St. Louis for onroad. Might be a place to run at think it will just open up late. I heard maybe Jan. I also heard about something happen out doors this summer in St. Louis, so maybe some gas racing and electric rubber tire out doors

Thanks Drew

They have had many a chances and still can not get it figured out with all the input and help some of us have given them most of the time for free.

Agree, last winter was fun. Great people to race with and learn from. Too bad it did not last. I have not sold anything yet, but it's gonna happen soon. Just trying to find the time to take pictures of everything. Anyone interested in something specific, send me a PM. It will all be going, except Drew's 009 that I need to return to him. Nice new 12R5 in factory sealed box only $125, two Tekin RS w/ Hotwire, etc., etc.

Drew....let me know when you want to hook up for the return.

[QUOTE=Drew Ellis;8158240]From what I hear it will be an oval track with some jumps. So as of right now there has been no showing for on road racing. With them doing this it will be hard to get the onroad guys out meaning I heard they will be running nobby offroad tires on the track. So in less words there goes the carpet it will start to look like Don King's hair.

I would still like to run up there but after hearing this don't know if it will be worth it.

Wish them the best.

Good Luck!

We've been going down to Carbondale for racing. Last week / Sunday we had 21 Touring car entries. Competition was tight. 1 class! 17.5 non timing. Not quite as fast as 13.5 boosted but it's easier to drive.

That's a huge turnout. Sounds fun but too far away.

Alright guys probley going to start a new thread on here. Looks like the carpet thing for this winter is not going to happen, but for sure next winter. Been talking with a few buddys and it sounds like I will be able to use this new parking lot for some on-road gas racing this summer and electric too. We would be able to leave the track up all summer. Way easier then having to setup and tear down after every race day. The parking lot is nice and it looks like the track could be up to 200ft long and 100ft wide. Will try and get more info, but look out for the new thread. Gas racing coming back to St. Louis

Thanks Drew
