Looks like things are a go for moving into our new home! Big thanks to Karl E. for storing our trailers and now transporting them to the Ho-Chunk Expo. Weather looks to have finally broke and should be a great 2 days of installation. Won't be long now! I'll post the progress of our set up. With a little good fortune, we'll have a test and tune the 24th. and keep our projected Race Day opening day of May 1st!

Pretty productive day for TeamNitro. Big thanks to all who came out to help. Unfortunately, the Drivers Stand delivery had to be delayed until tomorrow. But it gave us a chance to make many new perimeter boards.
Tomorrow will be another busy day! We should have the Stand/bridge/storage shed combo together and all the perimeter boards up and be starting on the layout. We will be ready to have fun next weekend!!! Lot's of excitement for sure!

Someone who came out today to help out asked about our track rules. So here is our web site and rules, so far..

Things are coming along nicely. We will have a test and tune Sunday. Not sure about scoring and timing. We want to get our cars running and make some tweaks on the layout, I'm sure. It will be very casual and just a great time to get out and turn some laps. Official Race Day will be the following Sunday; May 1st. Big Thanks to all the club guys who jumped in Sunday and got so much done!

Same here Tony! Everything's a go for tomorrow! Great weather forecasted. We're all excited to see how the new pavements gonna work.

Track will be prepped and ready by 10:00am. Last minute decision on scoring/timing.

Our test and tune went well yesterday! Traction is good and tire wear was very acceptable. I ran 40/35 on my Serpent and was very happy. The layout is fun! The final dimensions are 220X115. That's the perimeter boards. Not sure what the running line is. We didn't set up timing. We'll have a full race day this Sunday! We're anxious to try out the new LiveTime Scoring with the kiosk that prints out your lap times when you want to see them!

Thanks to Pat Morris and his buddy Warren for the aerial pic. Gives a great view of the layout.
