We defintely got some new toys in the shop, we're been playing our ABC hobbies genetic cars on the on-road track, that was fun!
I'm planning smoothing out the floor on the mini-z track side so the track isn't so bumpy at some places, i want to make it perfect.

I'm still thinking about how we're going to work on the on-road track, we've been drifting on it, racing cars on it, jumping trucks on it. Planning on building these removable ramps so we can have a unique track and then remove it for on-road and drifting.

Gotta get a lap timer for the second track too.

Are you using I lap for the Z side? You can use I lap for both tracks....

The new shop is awesome! Fully-stocked hobby shop, huge RCP track, and a big drift/on-road track. I just wish you had a location in Seattle!

I had a great time hanging out with the FPR crew over the last week. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Thanks for the comments on the shop Mike, we will be building some jumps this following week to run some 1/16 Losi trucks and other 1/18 size trucks. I'll post some pics when I update the track.
