Wow that was quick as far as getting the dirt goes. Glad to hear you guys are stepping up and getting it done. Make sure to keep us all informed about the new track and how it's all coming together.

Sweet! It's about time someone brought in lap counting gear! Shouldn't be any trouble drawing in the racers now.

Cool, glad to see the effort being made.

questions:


Will I have to be a club member to run the track, or can I just pay per day?

Any estimates on when the track will be up and runnning again.

Just wondering....thanks


looks like with Amain being "flashlight only", RF has a real shot at easily doing very well. good luck Gentleman

Is Cory going to allow the doors be open when running??

Club members will have benefits (still to be determined) but you can totally just pay per day for track time no prob... Still $10.00 for the whole day.

The Track is still open for Saturdays from 10:30 - 6:00. Both ends of the barn doors will be WIDE OPEN! We all like fresh air and with the doors open it is no problem. In fact its nice to have a place with shade on a 100 degree day instead of being in the hot sun.

No updates have been made to the website yet. But I am working on that so we can have an updated calander, forum, contacts, prices, schedule, video and pics. Keep posted for details.

We are in the works on obtaining a 2nd even 3rd load of dirt if needed. We are expexting a new track, and clean facility by beginning of September. I will keep you all posted as we get closer.

Thanks

When the time comes we will be organizing with the other local tracks to hammer out a race schedule so as not to overlap major race days. We plan on having the Red Frog points series back with sponsors, trophies, prizes etc... Many big ideas for this place are being tossed around. But the first priority is the track and facility to be dialed in for this fall so we all have a fun place to play.

Keep the questions and comments coming. Discussion like this can only help improve and grow ideas for us. Thanks for all of the interest!

Are personal transponders required, or are there house transponders?

Wide Open......Outstanding


I assume you guys are still ironing out the details, but....

Do you know what the membership fees will be?

What are the benefits and/or requirements (i.e. work at the track,etc) for the member.

No transponders as of yet, however we are looking into an AMB decoder system. Basically when the funds are available we will have it going. For now we have a computer lap counter for races. Keep in touch though! Thanks

We are having a meeting this weekend, and hopefully we will have all these things figured out. We should have all the info next week.

Sorry I couldnt make it out monday to help with the dirt guys, working nights makes it hard to do things during my work week.
