Hopefully you guys are rocking an rolling by then.

I've only got a handful of runs on carpet and I know there's probably a lot of racers in SD who have none. In all honesty, Saturday nights would be ideal. But unless something happens, it wouldn't be good to conflict with SoCal.

What the! Joel's in charge? This will be interesting hehe 
You know I'll be there!
How are you guys going to lay down the carpet without it shifting. I'm assuming it's a temporary track. Rippling carpet in the corners sucks
How about starting races at 7:30 the first few months until turn out gets big. More practice time will be helpful along w/ giving folks more friday commute time.
Twice a month is good for me also.

You need to check out the border set-up at Bending Corners. I like that a lot.

Maybe firehose like we would use for parking lot...its way easy on the cars as far as brushing up against them...you wont tear off suspension arms. Maybe RoadRail system that HyperHobbies makes??....its easy on the cars too. I'll see what i can do to get a deal on those. Holla back!

Road Rails I think are a bad idea. Like Howie said, foams chunk bad on them. Fire hose is pretty ghetto in all honesty. The barriers that Raf has up at Bending Corners are awesome. Plastic rectangular tubes with Velcro on them. Sturdy enough so cars won't be going on the wrong side of the track, but they'll move just enough to keep from being hard on the cars. If you can see where he got that material, that's your best option.

They were OK. A little brutal on the suspension bot not too bad. But it's pretty permanent. I don't know that you could do that without a wood sub floor. All those wood walls were screwed into the track and the plastic "flaps" on the turns were screwed into the wood.
