1/10 scale use about 1/3 of the track..1/8 will use all but the large tabletop on the to the right on the back stretch

Ill'll be there between 1030 and 11 am...the track is with the gates area of the airport. There is plumbing around the track enough for 6 hoses..I'm going to bring one hose and nozzle if anyone else can bring there's it would help a lot..

Ryan,how did practice go today????

The layout is great, fun for both 1/10 and 1/8 with flowing sections and technical sections. It's going to be a great race. Wanted to give a shout out to all the guys that put the hard work in on this track, great job. I had a good time today, can't wait!

Practice day went well i thought...1/10 section was flowing enough and the 1/8 section had a few more technical sections...I counted out some lap times as cars where runnning 1/10 scales times should fall between 30-40 sections and 1/8 50-60 seconds...orbs layout that will great for spectators to watch from the bleachers

Ryan I left my black water hose there, please take care of it for me until the Friday practice day.

Thanks

Gotcha..will do

Hey guys I had a good time today, track is alot of fun. Thanks to everyone who put in countless hours getting this track and event going.

I just wish the track had more rocks.... Sorry I couldn't resist lol

Question for everyone that came out Sunday...What tires did you find work best?? I got a Email from Sonny Brown of Horizon asking me that.
I tried PL Holeshots M4 and Jconcepts double dee's green on SC 4x4..I liked the Holeshots best of the two...I'd rather people come with what will work..

On my buggy I tried M3 Blockade and M3 Hole Shots and I like the H.S. a bit better. Don't know how much time you will get out of Hole Shots, I ran them for about 15 minutes and they are still in great shape.

Hey guys wait till you see the track now. They made some great changes to the track! The drivers stand came out great! I tried calibers, blockades and hole shots. I liked the blockades on 1/8 stuff but the hole shots felt more consistant.

Ryan, I am there weds thru Sunday. Anything we need to do let me know.

Please remind everyone that there is a $10.00 parking fee for anyone visiting the event.I just read this in the new add.

I'm 99% positive the parking cost is for spectator parking not particapants (racers/pilots)
