I went to the track yesterday afternoon and swept off the surface. With the right tires, it's a pretty drivable track. With the right tires and a surface free of loose rocks, handling is fairly predictable, and sliding through the corners is really fun.
I brought a hose as well that I was planning on leaving there so that people could wet the surface, but I found the spigot was locked. Is this locked by the city, or Seattle RC? Is there a way we could give club members access to it?
Here's a
video of me testing it out. The car is a Losi XXX-T with SC conversion, running a Novak 17.5 on Pro-Line Gladiator (soft) tires.
I also took a
panorama from the drivers' stand.
Thanks again to everyone who made this possible. It's already doing wonders to promote R/C within the community. We should try to get a sign installed with the name of the club and track rules. First question everyone asks is, "So is this open to the public?"
