Thanks solara. At this point, the culprit appears to be the rear dual exhaust pipe, not providing enough pressure to the fuel tank

Default Sunday Afternoon

Still no drivers stand Sunday afternoon but track was in good shape. Drove many tanks on 1/8 buggy. Only a couple of people there in the afternoon.

Whats the hold up with the drivers stand? I have only been there once and it would be a fun little track with a stand in place.

quick question...semantics really......:

Is a place really a "track" if there's no racing being held there?

Isn't it really just a bash spot?

You are correct....I do not get the feeling there will be any racing there anytime soon.

maybe they are just seeing the interest level out there first before they make anything solid. have nitro motor problems now, so looks like i might have to go electric out there if i ever get the parts i need.

This thread has gotten a lot of traction because the word "track" is in the subject.

The WI/IL topic really is about "all things racing". If we wait long enough this thread will disappear off page 1 soon enough. Like the place in Rockford that the "owner" boasts about opening a new place, doesn't answer any direct questions then disappears from rctech. His post is buried now.

I don't see any racing happening there soon either. There is no structure in place to get it going that I can see.

Its a convenient track (or place) close to home where one can get away for a couple hours to practice, do laps and improve driving skills. Maybe thats all it will ever be, who knows.
