Dude. Wait... What? I thought you already had one a little while ago. Back in my day, kids took 9 months to hatch.

I know this may sound like a possible stupid question, but will the track be open on the "Grand Opening"?

I may have to throw something together just as a excuse to come up and see the facility. Sound like it may be a good one.

YES MO MO I will agree with ya it is really neat to see Jim and family back into it . We remember the kids when they were really young and was racing at Aero. I reemember the battles those gave each other . KIM and jim would give each other a bad time as well. They were a real Racing family. Jim was keap busy all of the time trying to keep everthing runing. YUP I do remember those days for sure. like it was just yesterday.

THEY started coming out to Daves this summer and it was really neat to see all of them. NOW they have a little one coming up through the ranks . Jim is all ready working with him so we will have another Team
pink racing ;-) ??
Those of you that remember them from the days of aero will know what I am talking about .

YUP it is grate to see all of them agian. I just hope all of this will come together .

GOOD JOB To all of those that is working on this one.. cant wait to see it come together.
Don Still your Vintage driver. JUST maybe we can get a Vintage going again Hint hint;-))

I will try to answer as many questions as I can for everyone.

We are looking at racing on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday.
Practice will be Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Not sure on Monday yet if we will have practice that day or not yet.

Yes, the Grand Opening will be our first race day.

It's looking like next weekend we will be doing our track build. I will have more details later, but the retaining wall will be built and the dirt will be in. We will have pizza and soda for anyone that would like to come and help. Please PM me if you are interested and are available Saturday or Sunday.

The track dimensions will be 59 feet wide and 46 feet deep. Not the biggest track, but we will make the layouts work very well. My home track in Michigan that I grew up racing on was 55 by 40 and worked very well.

Thank You,
JP

If it was posted I did not see but what day or days will you run during the week? Something to keep in mind is that RC Plus runs Tuesday and Timezone runs on Thursdays. I know I would sure like to come play in the dirt if it does not conflict.

Wonderful news indeed!

Joe... thanks for bringing a smile too many of us.... looking forward for more updates.

Unfortunately, can't give a helping hand with the track build as I have a family engagement this weekend.

Oops, maybe I can make it, thought it this upcoming weekend. My bad.
