Have you considered some type of signage on the windows? Posters, transparent perforated images, neon, anything to see from the street? When I drive by there the place appears vacant as the lights are so high it appears to be dark. I nearly kept driving the day I practiced as I thought you were closed.

I currently have no laptops at my office but have you considered a fixed pc at that front desk area until I can procure one? I could always give you remote access to it from your laptop to add names anywhere in the facility. I can get you a setup like that in a day and you don't have to worry about bringing your laptop. When not in use you could put the monitor below too. Just a thought.

Hey Dave,
Working on the signage right now.
Thanks for the effort on the laptop, but I'm just going to put my own in there. It's all good.

Yesterday one SCT driver ran an 11.6 I'm not sure if he had a mod in there or a 17.5, but the track is small, so there might not be that much of a difference.

blue barcodes in the rear and green rounders in the front have been working well for me.

Running a 17.5 SC10 I used green bar codes (super soft) worked great for me in back. I was struggling for steering all day and I found AKA wishbones in super soft to be my best choice to get steering. I had to go to the softest spring I had in front and had the battery almost all the way forward. Even w/ all of this I still had tons of rear traction which is rare for this truck.

Track looks great....good to have another off road track in Chicagoland area.

What is the RACE day and hour...? If there will be one, can that be listed on page 1 the 1st page so everyone can see that on that specific thread.

I will schedule myself to be there with my 2 weeks of vacation that coming up....not really a vacation, but 2 weeks without kids, that is a true vacation for me.

Great pics, Can't wait to race there. Please don't install wood carpeted walls on the track.
