The turf basically looked like all the other turf tracks you see. Track's not going to get bigger - it basically can't but how to enlarge the pits before next winter's crowds hit has been discussed. We'll see - it'll be another interesting change for the Oregon RC scene.
We have discussed multiple times about putting carpet outside at santiam. Just to much money to risk no entries. But the ability to use the same jumps inside and out would be awesome. Would be nice to see carpet only here in Oregon
