Since we couldn't get any heavy equiptment up there this week i went up to the track today and change the track up some tonight so we will have a change for this Saturday. I change a little of the tubing lay out and made another jump, and Darrin will be making a change to it also, Although we won't be running this track long because as soon as i get the new dirt it will be completely different and better. I apoligize about the time wasted on reading posts from a hater, haters just remind me that i'm doing something right haha. and i appreciate everyone who supports us, the track and all my fellow racers.

ALSO anyone who has any of my home made personal transponders need to bring them back please, i am missing 2 already. Seeya all soon

did someone say oval?????

JaketheSnake

iTrader: (1)

Yes someone said oval, i think that we can do the oval thing again in the summer and see how this new dirt works out for you all. We will play it by ear and i am sure i will need someone to help run those races as well, i can talk to darrin and see if he might want to some summer action, if not we need to find someone that can do the oval race announcing. Let me know who might be a good prospect for that.

oh also, if we do the oval racing, i am going to have some removable carpet covered wooden removable jumps so that in case we do like an every other week type of race we can still get some offroad going as well.

i would be more than happy to help build the track for oval and help put jumps down if any one wants to race off road

im no race announcer though.

Poor Rodney Dangerfield for being compared to Stiffler. At least Rodney looks like he knows how to land on his feet not his back.....
