That track is ENOUGH to race 1/8th...........if RON (Duneland) is here, he can tell immediately from looking at pic....I would say 4-6 1/8th are capable to race there. Of course, it is considered TIGHT compare to open track like Toledo or Hamilton.
I will bring my 705 835 and 950R....and the worst case, I can race my Xmod on the drag strip...
the lanes are pretty tight for 1/8 in its current configuration. i dont have an 1/8 scale but trust me. he has enough extra space so that it is possible whenever he gets the time to do it. he seems like he is open to ideas and will cater to what people want and he will not pigeon-hole himself into one thing.
besides the tight lanes for 1/8, he will have to rig up a drivers stand for the track. the vertical height is limited because of the structure of the building so it cant be tall like we're used to. he has a basketball style bench that we were using to step on but that is only good for maybe up to 3 average sized guys because its not meant for that. but if he came up with a platform at about that height, you should be able to see fine. for instance, the stand that st. charles had last year was cool height-wise (it just wasnt long enough for 10 guys). he needs something like that but maybe not as tall i suppose.
i guess what i'm getting at is that this spot has some room for improvement to make it "comfortable" for racing but it has a
lot of potential. its certainly far better then whats out there at this time - nothing. so i will try to support him as much as i can because he stepped up and made it happen.
