    I wanted to just inform everyone when they arrive next week the checkin/signup process. Before you setup and unload you stuff go to the big tent where the Jet pit area is there will be a signup table to register for the event as participant for both drivers and pilots.

    Pit area (drivers):

    There will be a 40x80 big tent available for drivers for the weekend with power tables and chairs.The big tent area is $15.00 per person for the weekend. Please use towels or mats on the tables as these are rentals and we a responsible for them. If you are bringing a popup and table there will be power there also, bring extension cords to access power to your area no cost if bring your popup and table.



    Pratice schedule:

    Thursday-the track will open for open practice at 11Am until dusk.

    Friday-Open Pratice 10am-9pm (we will have 4 portable light towers)

    The drivers stand accomodates up to 15, Please marshall after you have run so everyone can get some quality track time. We will set 20 minute rotating time slots for 1/8 and 1/10 scales on friday starting at 11am

    Saturday-Drivers meeting in the morning just before Heats start

    **If are wanting to pit under the big tent pm me so I can get a head count**

    Ryan,what is the material used on the track????

    Got the blindspot after the triple fixed. Ramped down the backside landing to raise that low spot..below are a few pics, we will compact and contour it next week. Notice in the first pic the inside corner between the triple and double is now clear.

    A long day at the horizon track today..I'm Still here actually. I'm a day behind schedule on the track, practice will start pending the morning work progress..best case scenario is early afternoon. Sorry for the last minute post, the weather early this week set us back a day.
