Friday night under the lights racing. And practice on Saturdays, and a few weekdays. During shop hours. Forget exactly which week days

Usually between 6:30 and 7. Sign ups close around 6ish. There's a very rarely a Saturday makeup and there's usually a Saturday practice race before the season starts. Otherwise, wait for announcements for larger events which would likely be Saturday.

Here are few pics of the changes on the backside of the track. On the back straight you will be jumping up to a tabletop and landing on a downslope to a small banked right-hand turn and about a 10 ft. straight before turning right. To attach this to the S-turn before the big banked left turn we have a few options. We can put a right 180 deg turn back to the tabletop and use it as a banked left turn or we could just turn and go straight and attach is to the S turns. As for the big jump I would like to turn it into a small tabletop and add another one the same size were the old landing is. Please give me your input on some ideas and what you think of it as of now.

I like the idea of using the table top as a banked left turn. I'm sure it will be great whichever way you go!

I don't race off road anymore, but I want to thank you guys for stepping up and working on this great track. Its awesome to see the track all tore up already in November to prepare for next year instead of waiting until March or April and not having enough time to do the job right.

I started RC racing at Pit Stop and I'm real glad to see it picking up some great help again.

Looking forward to racing with you guys in the spring. Had no idea you guys existed. Not many outdoor 10th scale tracks around so I will be making the 90 mile drive plenty this spring.

Do you have some inside info on guys bringing them? Didn't know if you heard anything from the Bumps guys. I do know of 2 Pit Stop regulars who got stadium trucks. One bought a T4.2 and the other guy is converting an SC into an ST. Gary and Tony sound like they are gonna run theirs also. I am probably still gonna run just truck if I can. Between rebuilds and other race needs (TIRES!!) I am really spending a lot. Definitely not gonna be able to get a 2nd 1/10 scale (buggy).

I am rebuilding my truck for Motorama. I see The Track has a big race on Jan 18th in which ST is listed as a class. If I get my radio back from KO before then I may try to make that race also.
