Bummer. We have an outdoor oval at my LHS as well as an indoor banked dirt tri-oval. The indoor track can be groomed & maintained better and allows year-round racing. The tri-oval is more of a driver's track than a "point and shoot" like our outside oval. We might not have our outside oval for next year, because it is a lot more work to keep up on than the one inside.

Man, I would think that something like that would go over really well in Lincoln or Omaha--especially considering all of the low-cost dirt oval cars that Losi is beginning to produce. We normally have a lot of 3 wide (1/10th) and even 4 wide racing (with Sliders). I hope that someone from a hobby store is reading this and smells the coffee, because they're missing out on a great revenue opportunity if nobody else in the area is doing it. Good luck guys, and I'll keep checking back.
