This track is AMAZING!!! Kenny and company did an spectacular job.

Looks like Senna555 beat me to putting up video. I have about 30 video clips and 100 pics I'm sorting though.

If you live within earshot of this track, you HAVE to find your way there.

Practice day is planned for sunday. Open to club members or day pass available.

We will have computer system running and will attempt to have timed runs.

Hope to see everyone sunday.

Yes, I would suggest bringing all of those items: table, chair, canopy...

There is some access to electrical (but not as close to the track), but most of us charge our receiver packs from car battery, etc.

The one great thing is no need to bring food. Great onsite food service for reasonable price.

Yes, we run the GT Spec class. Realistically, the only rule that matters is rubber (versus foam) tires. Long-term only pull/roto start motors but I have found that traction is the limiting factor even with initial acceleration on the straight. This is even though there is great traction compound on the track. People with too hot of an engine often go too fast into the first corner anyways.

Gt class is geared around spec type motors that have a pull/roto start and rubber tires.

Bring what you have and come down and run. If their happens to be a major hp difference we will ask that you run a spec type engine next time at future events.

This class is about F>U>N.

Guys, is there a pre-registration required for the regionals in July? I'm planning to come up with a few guys but I don't want to get there and be told it's full.

Pre-registration is not required for the regionals.

It is a two day event so we wont have an issue it getting everyone in regardless of the turnout.

Qualy rounds will be on saturday and finals on sunday. Length of finals is to be determined but at least 30 minutes or longer for A final and bump up for lower mains.

The only requirement is a roar membership and that can be purchased as a day pass or annual if you are not already a member.

Be great to have you up!

Cheers
Jamie
