So you can imagine how much the track changed in 8 hours, especially with 8th scales on it. It was just so much fun to be racing outside again!
By memorial day, we will be ripping wheelies
Was that the first track they have ever built? That layout had no flow, and the jumps were terrible. Perhaps you should inform them to the fact that the point of a landing jump is to have a down slope on which to land the car, not an obstacle that has to be jumped over so you have to flat land. Also that pit lane setup is a recipe for disaster.
