I don't think the track owner should be to concerned about stepping on anyone toes as far as the race schedule goes. This track is in a different part of town and will attract the locals in the area for the most part much like fastlane does for the missouri side of KC and much like Jakes for the Topeka crowd. I don't think you'll see alot of the regulars from either track but a new group of racers that are local to that area.

Cool, I understand the stepping on toes thing, but think lowrance has a pretty good point also. I know for myself week nights are pretty much out of the question, Fridays maybe, Saturday is really the best day in my opinion, Sunday is OK, but if you run late it's like it messes up Monday even worse cause you didn't get a chance to relax and do "nothing" on Sunday afternoon

LOL JP, we got kids,wife,job and to top it all off we are getting old and would rather get in a good night sleep than stay out late and race! Sad day but I knew this day would come. Good point it is why its so hard for me to Go to Topeka cause dont wana be out so late on a school night!

But just a thought what about Saturday open the track for racing around 4 or 5 start racing around 6 or 7 like back in the day at Real-RC! Helps for those whom have to work on Saturday and gives us family guys a chance to spend time with family and then go have fun when wife only has to deal with kids alone till they go to bed Would also give the outer towner's more time to travel. And it would be the best option to NOT inter fear with Fastlane and Jakes.

Like a said just a thought!

Track looks pretty good! Would love to check it out sometime!

Great track!

The track dirt is a top soil similar to Fastlane but holds water very well. I ran the same tires I normally run at fastlane and that seemed to be the hot ticket, so this is agreat place to work on setups on practice nights as setups between the 2 tracks would be about the same. Was great to get some good wheel time in yesterday.
