I have a few more pipes to lay and give the track a paint job and we are good to go. Here's what we are racing on next weekend when we go "Live at the Yard" once again.

The yard and homers ability to build a track is insane.

Good job homer. Cant wait to break my car in the main like old days.

Homer,

Looks good. I have a question with the step grade of the back straight what's the plan for starting the mains?

The change on the straight is gradual and can only be felt at high speeds, so electric mains will start back there as normal. I always prefer rolling pit road starts for the nitro mains. However I am only a racer at this race. Jason may have some other ideas.

Looking at the pictures I believe we can start the nitros on the backstretch also unless there is something I can't see. Looks like the wood barrier appears to be low enough.

It's very dangerous back there when you have to come back across the track, but it's your call. There really aren't any flat places at the yard.

Thank you. It's a very easy track to go around but to go around fast takes some skills.

Homer, if I plan to stay in my trailer Friday night is there a problem with running the generator during the night? If so could I give you some money and plug up to one of the outlets for the night? See you Friday!

You can plug in for free but, you will probably need 200 foot or you can run your gen if need be. Just pit in the upper field away from the white houses next door.
