Our racing surface is mainly clay material and the dimensions are approximately 110' x 230'. The driver's stand is 24' long with a handicap ramp and kick-out for those racing with us that need it. There is an onsite hobby shop, water, port-o-potty, 120v electric, and air compressor.
Please bring your own table, chair, EZUps, extension cords, etc.
There is plenty of room to accomodate racers with RV's and trailers (Sorry, no electric / water / sewer hook-ups)
We use the newest MyLaps RC4 Decoder and RC Scoring Pro Software. Please be sure your personal transponder is RC4 compatible. We do not have rental transponders at this time.
