We had a great success with opening days Friday night electric race had around 200 entries with the likes of Dakota Phend and Al Horne plus other local top drivers for the grand opening. Saturdays nitro day had around 50 entries alittle lower than hoping do we are not use to having a indoor facility around here that can support nitro racing till now which is awesome to have and hope everyone within driving range or flying and take advantage of. Thanks Again for the support.

Could be cold, but furnace is scheduled for the next 2 weeks. Pits are fine the track is cooler. We have pit tables, electric is at each table at the wall, so power strips and cords.

Johnny Boy coming?
