1) No promotion of events.

3) Hard to see sedans far away at end of straight.
4) Lack of organization.
5) Location, location, location. When you have Crystal Park and Revelation located much closer to the core of the racers in SoCal and regular organized races there, it's an uphill battle. I travel from NorCal and I race at all of these tracks so I don't count
6) Radio hits from offroad guys who don't give a sh__. This has been a problem since the offroad track went up. It happened enough times that people got mad at folding up their $2000-3000 1/8 and 1/5 scales because somebody with an RTR was careless and nobody in charge controlled the situation.
I have personally logged thousands of laps there and enjoy the track and the layout. At one race I got clocked at 73MPH on the back straight with my 1/8 scale and that was flying.
It is not a commentary to Marvin as these has been the same problems with KZ since the beginning with Karlton. Some of this can be corrected with the right promotion and a little effort but somebody has to be willing to do the work.

Rossi Engines
These engines are supposed to be from Italy and thats all I know other than there are three versions of this engine and the Cobra is one of them. Anyone else heard of these? I will try to drop by on Fri if not definately Sat and Sun.

Whats up gashuffer its Arno I saw you at the track today with the similar body LOL, the name of the motor is Rossi Maranello and my buddy had one so if you come to the track Friday night I'll help you tune it.
