Hello Racers,

Here the schedule for the track rebuild. For anyone who can help the official day for that will be Saturday April 24th. Work will be done before that day (such as fence removal, dirt added to back section) so the 24th will mostly consist of the layout of the jumps and piping. The first scheduled date for racing will be Sunday May 2 on the new layout. Will post it on rcsignups.com

Thanks, Chris Allec

The fence is down. Oh, and you can see Chris playing with his new toy.

Looking good! You can count me in for the 17th. Sorry I couldn't help more last Saturday, but I did have fun pulling up a few poles.

Measured the new layout today - 105x150 ft. Chris got some work done today, the first new track feature is almost done. A big thanks to Clayton Neal for coming down on his day off and running a tractor all day. I'm only going to post up a couple of teaser pics for now. More updates to come.

Hey Spencer, Check it out and post back.
From a pic like that, its hard to tell if that jump face is 4 inches or 4 FEET!
My GPS shows the elevation of granbury higher today than it was yesterday! Big changes coming.

O.k enough with the teasing - spencer wins. Notice that big c is driving the tractor for a sense of scale.

went and looked at the track yesterday, and it is going to be BIG!!! the layout the guys have in their head for the track is shaping up to be a pretty technical track, so it should be awesome!

Chris was going to hold out for the yellow pipe but couldn't find any so black it is. If anyone coming down Saturday has any extra rakes, bring 'em I'm sure we could use them.
