That's right! Your Mom worked as hard as the guys and put up a lot with your Dad being at the Coliseum the last few weeks instead of at home. My hat is off to her.

We have the vegas layout down as close as we can get it so it should allow quite a few guys to prep for the 2012 IIC in Las Vegas. The boards will be much more forgiving with the way we are doing things now so that should be great for all of out pockets. Also I have to give props to Richard for allowing us to do all of this work, without him we'd have no funding and this would not have happend, he also just put in a very large spare parts order for XRAY and TAMIYA, we are still putting together a list for Associated and TOP so he can stock them as well. We have lots of sweep 32 spec tires in stock, i believe some 50 sets, and plenty of SXT sauce to go around. I know there alot of people who have put in a lot of work helping out the past couple weeks and i personally would like to thanks them all and they should know who they are, most of them put in more work in a couple weeks then some (myself) put in throughout the course of a year and without them as well, this track would be what is now. The carpet is smooth, the seems look great! not ripples, plenty of tires, clean boards and new border for the track outline (more forgiving) and the track is ready for action for the 2012-2013 carpet season, so lets all get together and show some support for all the men (and women) that took alot of time out of their own life to drop what they normally do to come and make our great racing facility even better. Gentlemen, get ready to rock because its carpet season in Frederick, MD at "The Coliseum".
