In conversations I had with people about the track they were excited about bring young people out there who are getting into the hobby. We all have to start somewhere and the best way I can describe it is that this track is like learning to ride a bike without ever using trainning wheels.

It can be done with success, just take more practice and putting up with a few skinned knees.

I left Sunday with a few "skinned Knees"! I will say this about the Slash, it can take a beating! I bashed that truch hard and only added a few rips to the body. Nothing major.

Now, for those of you who just want to defend the track and tell us bottom feeders to quit whinning, how about a little advice on the track itself.

What does one need to do to get a core truck dialed in. I was thinking of moving the lower shock mounts in to give the suspension a little more droop to soften the landings a bit.

The main problem I had was traction leading into the jumps. For example, the triples, I know I will have a difficult time clearing all three but I should be able to gap two. On Sunday I would give the truck some throttle to try and gap 2 of the 3 but the truck would just slam into the face of the second jump. It was like I couldn't grap the dirt.

What tires would you reccomend?

How about shock oil? What it a good weight to try out?

Also, the "ski jumps" as someone put it on the front straight, what is a good strategy for those? The first one seemed fine as the truck would come off nice and level. The second was not as pretty. For some reason the truck would nose in after hitting the jump. Is there a difference in shape between the two?

Lastly, what about the "whoopties" or as I like to call them, "the washboards?" What is the trick there? Again, I tried to gap two of them but couldn't the truck would nose into the next one.

I know it will take practice and patience but all the smashing into the face of the next jump got old fast! It wasn't fun having to roll over each jump on the track as that is what it took to get around the track without having help from a marshall. Thanks to Audie? I think that was the kids name out there flipping everybodies cars over. I was there for about an hour or so and he was out there the entire time! Thanks bud!
