Get a car and it will be like the old days, of racing. Jason is coming home for a couple of days sometime this month. He is going to come to the new track and check it. The track has been changed, ice is in and all measured out looking good. They also have the road course set up looking great.

Re: the track is now open!!!!
well i put sme foamies on my touring car the other day so i could have something to run while it's road course and not oval. i must say it was alot of fun. the 9.5 brushless may be a little overkill but the car straight up hooks. pete,k2 and i had a lil race yesterday and it was alot of fun.

I have an 18R, you are more then welcome to take a trip up. We have no set schedule just yet. We are working with a few groups of people to get things scheduled. Some of the flying guys would like blocks and they are doing some polling this week. We have been running Oval track from late Sunday afternoon, Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday we change to road course and usually keep it until Sunday. This week we are altering this because we have some COT cars that would like to run on Saturday.
Please feel free to let us know what you prefer, you can email me at kevin@granite-corp.com or K2@graniteleisuretime.com
I know a few guys have Associated and a few were just sold but I am to sure who has what at this point. I have noticed many people are running different things and vehicles that go well are getting popular to others.

Build a Legend car, run the SC10, D came up early and ran the road course Friday night, he had a ball, might not want to admit to it but he was smiling from ear to ear (got himself caught up between two trucks). He and Gary really hooked us on this, built some legends on the fly today and ran a few tonight, should have four tomorrow night and two more guys will be building them this week. You got to take the plunge. I owe you guys a coffee, saw the tail lights once I got out there, sorry was just a little busier then normal.
Thanks for coming by, see you soon I hope

Once again thanks for a good day, was nice to see you again. No worries, I was able to run and pay K2 back this evening, sidelined him with a soldering job. I think you can tell Gary has been faithful with us weekly to try and get thing prepared, very glad you liked the new shape to the oval and we will work on the blocks this week.
Thanks again for a great time, as you can see the racing went on after you left, have not been home for long.

I'm very happy the way the connors are...The more compound we can get on the track the faster the cars are going to be...
How did things go today???? There was a person asking about a track around Bangor,I sent him your address on the web sight so he can check your track out....
Hope to see you guys in two weeks...Still haven't found my spoiler..

Re: the track is now open!!!!
Had a great time again today, we ran the Road course for Stadim until 5 PM. We went to oval at 5:30, just got home, we had all three COT, Legend and 13.5, one of the guys had a 17.5, but was just him so he did not run it. K2 broke down and now has legend as well, Ben helped him paint it tonight, came out nice.

We had a few guys Jim from Sparetime sent over, they ran a few packs and liked it. A bunch of us ran a few packs on it yesterday, I was able to get to the top on a few areas but not on some, going to keep working on it. Haynes made it up the steep part but his tires are a little oversized and I think it made the difference.

Re: the track is now open!!!!
yea the extra clearance from the chisels did help but i think alot of makin the waterfall was wheelspeed. i am a huge fan of having a crawler with a good amount of wheelspeed. the torsion chassis worked very well although i need to play with my torsion links a little to get the "suspension" to my liking and add a new dig and some new comp rims and then it'll really perform. and hopefully i can get my pan cars working again tuesday night.

Re: the track is now open!!!!
Was able to climb the wall at the hardest spot behind Haynsen12 in the waterfall, with the slightly mod crawler. Was very happy and suprised with the results. Cant wait to get more crawlers out there and get a comp on and see what that is like. What a differnt pace. Have run oval for almost 20 years, going fast was the only concern, now going slow is the key. Wow its a must try if you havent, love all types of racing.

We can turn the water on and see how you do next time, I look at your run as "A DRY RUN" and you know the nickname we have for you for doing it this way, don't make me take it public
