Looks good Dave. I need to get out there sometime... How is the grip comparison from the infield to the baned oval? Looks like it might be tough to get a good setup going, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, as that is half the fun of racing; being inventive with the setup.
I look forward to racing with you again, its been too long

I was running it a bit while they were playing with the setup using my nascar MR-015
stock nascar tires really hookup in the infield but slide on the oval and the high grip tires hook on the oval but slide on the infeild.
so yeah... setup will be fun...

So I have been hearing quite a few people stating that IF the entire track is RCP'ed then they will come. Well.....check out the short video that I made of the shop and a few laps of the track. There is a ton of traction on the oval and the transition from the Oval to the RCP is not all that abrupt. Willy Wong stopped by tonight as well and LOVED IT.... Enjoy the video!!!

Dave, can you put a NORMAL driver behind the wheel... you make it look too easy. Man, that looks like fun. I just watched that video about 5 times (just the driving part).
I need to get out there.
What are the rules for racing? How does Ad band run there?

Both the oval and the roadcoarse classes are open at this point. Exceptions though are must use hard plastic bodies, rubber tires and tires but not exceed the width of the wheelwells. Thanks for the compliment, hope to see you soon!

lets see how long they stay open....
I got that blown board back to life with some new fets (I think I cooked one on my first attempt) and got the 07 motor in .... wonder what my lap times are going to be this week.

Nice lap Davey G. I notice no RCP borders on the outside wall of the oval and could not tell if there is RCP borders on the inside wall of the oval. If that is true, it wont take much to destroy an autoscale body. Please RCP those borders... and while your at it RCP the rest of the oval

I like having a harder board on the oval. The cars will be much less likely to get sucked into the boards, spun and plowed into by other drivers. If anything, put a thin foam with lexan. So the cars will slide if grazed, but the harder impacts would not be as damaging as a concrete or wood border if hit at a more direct angle.
I dont like to run Autoscale bodies anyway. Too fragile. The white bodies, are much better on impacts, and you can custom paint them to make the car more original If the body is available in both ASC and unpainted form, I allways go with the unpainted.

Softwalls on the inner perimeter of the oval for now only, the outter perimeter has a hard rubber mounted to the wood
RCP costs $$$$, slowly but surely we are getting there. The owners have stated that the entire track will be RCP soon enough!!! So when are you stopping by??

The soft walls are on the inside perimeter of the oval and yes...they suck you in... UGH!! The original painted wood I liked better due to being able to ride them and not get too messed up. But the soft walls are more friendly for beginners.

to let everyone now, i been to this track two times and had so much fun, The Oval track racing is even fun, but how dave hook up the infield for RCP , the transition to the Oval to infield is GREAT , you just need to get the right set-up for your driving. For me i am setting up a mr-02 for the infield and 015 for the Oval.
