please get rid of the little white pipes... Or drill a where the spike head sits to lower the spike into the pipe. So the spikes dont kill the little toy cars... And will there be a fresh layout for the GP?

Well said Freddy, +1 on that. I really like this current layout and the added dog leg is a cool transition you guys added. It's a fast layout and really hasn't been there that long. People with troubled setups can just see Brandon for the 22's and see Freddy or Alex. (I'm currently running Alex K's setup on my b4 and wowww it works)

No complaining from me Freddy. Just wondering. I think this layout is really nice.

your right it does it away from you if you don't get onto it correctly. But what i did this weekend was take on a whole different approach to my driving and the straight, first trying to land on the down side of the double which leads to the hard left turn onto the straight isn't consistent. Try landing on the table top and roll the corner, i tried that and i found it to be a hell of a lot easier on my buggy and i was able to get on the throttle from the turn with out that bobble half way down.

All day saturday i was hitting the sweet spot in the middle but there were times that i didn't get the push off the turn onto the straight and found myself doing some type of dance halfway down....So instead of crashing and needing a marshal i would just let off and straighten back up....

Just watched the SC crash and bash race, cleanest SC race at RCHR in a while.

Joe B. how the hell do you pass me in the s curve so easy with bald tires!!!
Way to drive that thing. Something tells me the HPI will continue to sit on the sidelines.

I tried to post the link to the race but was denied only a tech rookie

Hey Freddy how about we leave the layout how it is until after the GrandPrix, we could just do a major overhal and make it super smooth again, at least it'll be ready togo and we wouldn't have to deal with a wet track or would you like to see something fresh for the GrandPrix

Well I know beggars can't be choosers , but it would be awesome for a new layout now- A Mark Westerfield layout , meaning....not 7 U-Turns for tboning action, but a smooth battling type of layout which Mark is known for. If it went down now, we would have time to groove it up a little and smooth out the day before.

But that's just a dream. Lol

But just like all other grand prix's , it does groove up on that day, so that is a positive aspect.

It's like coloring kiddo. Stay between the lines.

I actually like all the direction changes. Makes you really focus on hitting your apexes and having a good setup. Tight and technical, with narrow lanes is what will make us better drivers.

I know I haven't been around for a while, but I'd swear this is just what we asked for... I'm happy with this layout. I just have to suck less.

p.s. The track isn't T-boning people, we are. Show eachother some love out there.
