That car is a bone stock FTTC3 with a front one-way and a rear swaybar. It's still got the carpet road course setup on it, even.

Default Car Bodies

This seems pretty cool and since its sedan and i wont need to change much I just might have to try it out. what will the body rule be? i know dirt late model but is it going to be realistic or are those gay looking side dams going to be allowed?

HI Guys, well construction has begun. Bobcat was in full use today and the oval is laid out. We will finish things tomorrow. Practice will open on Wednesday and our first race day will be May 30th. Bodies are on the way and everyone is excited to get back to our roots. We will have some pics posted as soon as things are complete.

Thanks,
Scotty

Speaking of bodies....I sent some with Team Dibb for you, Scotty. I stopped over at Elkhorn to visit. Now the question is..Will they get dirty?

Well...never have so few, done so much, with so little.









Sorry 'bout the dark pictures, but my caera just doesn't so well inside the track for some reason.

Just an FYI, we are at least a day behind schedule with this re-build, so there will be no practice on Wednesday. However, we are still going to be racing oval on Wednesday the 30th.

Does this "going back to the beginning" mean you are bringing back the transmitter toss? I see there are 2 sweet poles there just like back in the day.

C'mon Scotty, I wont miss that.

See ya'll soon.

Is the surface going to be loose dirt or hard-pack/high bite clay? Are tires open?

Looks great so far... still don't know how I'm going to get up there on Wednesdays, but I'm going to try. I am eagerly waiting for the first weekend race.

It will be hard packed, rubber tires for truck and buggy classes and foam for sedan and sprint classes

We've found on our track that old CS-27 Take-offs work extermely well. If you can use these do not use jack the gripper or paragon type compunds as it makes them slippery.

Simple green, water or Cameo tire buffing compund seam to work best

Just our experience with the CS-27's

In the EDM class and truck class will we be able to run lowered shock towers like FactoryWorks & SpeedysRacingParts?
Just trying to figure out if I am going to run two classes.

I take that to mean that they are not allowing specific-made oval cars in the EDM class, then. That's too bad—you'll eliminate a lot of cars, right off the bat.



At least I can run 4wd late model.
