There is no reason for changing this track. May be a couple things if you want like pipe routes and things. But that track was awesome . You don't need to change the track every single week. I had an awesome time last night.

No offense to Lee or Jake, but if things keep up like last night you are gonna loose racers quicker than you can imagine. Starting an hour late, the adult beverages, the poor sportsmanship (i.e. throwing cars, slamming them into wall etc) All need to go, and go with a quickness.

We have a very nice facility, and it's time for some folks to grow up a little and show a small amount of responsibility, so we can keep this facility.

Man, it has been a long time! I just bought some stuff a couple of weeks ago to try my hand again, but I don't think what I doing would be called "racing" just yet.

How's things down your way? Doing much club racing, or just hitting the bigger stuff now?

I can send you the full size raw format pics if you want them. They were actually shot at 3008x2000 res. Only a 6.1mp camera, but it still does a pretty good job.

I agree with this one hundred percent, this is a business for Jake and Lee and they haven't been treating it like a business. Way unprofessional and unorganized. There should be set time to start the races. This is a family hobby for racing, not a bar/c pro am to get wasted at. The track is awesome, there just needs to be a change of the way things are handled.
