Has anyone shot any video of the track yet? I'm curious to see more of the track in action. It may be a while before my schedule allows me the chance to come race there. Maybe in a few months.... Good luck with the racing program.

Bottom line, if enough people show up, for whatever class, they will run.
That said, IMO, 1/8 just ain't gonna work. I might try running mine in some practice soon, and maybe I'll find I'm wrong. But I honestly think it's too small, or 1/8 is too big - take your pic.

For the sake of the track and marshals' safety, 1/8 is just a bad idea in general indoors.

I would agree. How the heck would they make the uphill hairpin turn? I don't think so..

Haha ya, i think as long as you arent crazy you cando it, haha youd go right into the wall if you didnt slow down and brake for it. But the marshalling issue would be hard to overcome. I would say that you need to have the marshalls away from the jumps for 1:8. Well it is all about who is driving, if someone who just started racing is driving an ebuggy then i wouldnt want to
Be a marshall in that case.

+3 Gio would need marshellies and would be a lap down and go crazy to try to catch up! Should be an invite class were only specific people can race 1/8 so the track Dosent get damaged. AND ADULT MARSHELS with 1/8

I like this. And further, I would spec only small pin or bar type tires, no Caliber or even a medium pin like Tazers.
