I gave Jerry a call yesterday afternoon and have a few bits of information. I think Len covered some of this in their thread but here it goes:
They use an AMB system but they do not have house transponders. I have talked to Doug about this and I believe we could arrange something for members who do not own personals.
They typically run 8th scale buggy and truggy with little SC showing. That's ok because they are more than willing to accommodate the class. Jerry claimed some of their jumps are too much for SC but ours are too so no worries. I believe we've all seen the track images and I don't see any concern with running SC.
They do not have electric but there is a generator on hand if needed. Once again, sounds familiar and we can manage.
Sunday is their race day as well. General schedule is 10-1 for setup/practice and racing immediately follows. I forgot to ask about costs but I hope Len can fill in the information gaps. We also can talk to him this Sunday as he and another are visiting our track.
He may even have a few others tag along.

That's the hope and attitude of most here I believe. The distance isn't that far in terms of RC racing. I think for those of us that really enjoy this hobby, we should be very thankful for good tracks close in vicinity and take FULL advantage of it.

Chris - Were you able to find anything out about the concrete blocks?
I got the tickets printed today, paper wise only thing left is to make an excel spreadsheet for their information. I do have some numbers that I'll be calling tomorrow to see about BBQ pits . If there is a race held Sunday "pray it rains
" we should discuss dates, prices and get selling from there. Also Sunday we can discuss some other ideas that will benefit the track and its racers!
Thanks everyone for your help, I am hoping we can get a great turn out for this and hold another one before the year is over!

. Hopefully it's enough to replenish our water supply for a bit. Hoping I can come out Saturday to lend a hand with the track after work.
