Dialed looking track! Might have to head over and get some mod time in over there. Is there many running mod or is it all nitro?

Keep us updated on upcoming weekends... I might be able to get a group to head over with me....

Thanks for posting that Casey. Noiw I know why I have to call you to get to the track on race weekends...................we actually run on the 2nd & 4th weekends of each month!!!

The layout we have right now is 300' x 100', with an 1100' centerline.
Not to worry though, the straight is only 210'. It's got a little of everything - high speed and flowing with a bit of a technical section. We can, and do shorten the back straight for those electric classes that might feel intimidated.

We've just started racing, and have yet to have an elec. TC class. That class pretty much disappeared over the last couple years - as most classes have. We need to have some folks show up, just to help get the exposure back in this town. So, for this year, we will extend the club entry fee rate to all out-of-towners who show up. We will continue to do that next year, provided you belong to a club in your area.

The track is worth the drive, so if you're in the mood for a good race weekend.........come on over. The racers here would be glad to have you!!!

We are still working with the city of Post Falls, Idaho to secure a permanent facility there. (20 minutes east) That is probably still 1 - 2 years down the road.

For now we have an excellent site, conveniently located, and with a great property owner. We may well be able to stay there until we get the perm. thing completed. So for now, I'm quite pleased.........and the racers are as well.

I have tentatively set the date as Aug. 29 & 30. Should know from ROAR (hopefully) by end of next week. I won't hold my breath though!

Just plan on that date and we'll be good, regardless of ROAR.

Thanks,
Doc
