ok, Well I am back home, and WOW alot of back stabbing... LOL

First off by no means did I mean the track was bad or dangerous, so if anyone got that impression you are wrong. The walls are plenty far enough away from the turns. But as my GOOD friends stated previously 'I Cant drive". This is true, I had alot of mechanical issues to sort out, clutch radio etc.

It was meant as a joke about the mattresses and tires, since the guys there where laughing at both smacks I made because they where really loud, as we all had a laugh at the track about it. If you hit the walls you deserve to break as I did because the track is well designed and thought out and plenty roomy enough for all drivers driving under control.

I am sorry if my joking comment stirred any pots.

George, I honestly thought you might be offering constructive advice on the corners at the ends of the straights. I can see where a 35mph impact will mess up a truck. Never having set tire on a track I don't know, and can't tell from a few photos, if the turns or really so close to the walls that they tend to bring the end wall "into play" during racing. I'm sure in the heat of racing more than one truck will get bumped into it.

I liked the idea of some "barrier" at the end of the straight, and Bernie did reply that more tubes for the corner are planned.

So sorry for any broohaha over my interpretation of your comments as less than jokingly intended. I couldn't see your smile when you typed it..

When I build my RC track (dream on) I'm gonna use Daytona style high banks on all 90 degree corners so the racers can get it WOT more!!!! Not that would be fun to see. Dave

dan, my track experience consists of about 4 races total, and 3 of those were with my losi! i've only actually raced my buggy once, and i was pretty toasted when i did, so you have a fighting chance!

also dave, i doubt you will ever hit the wall, a banked 90 degree turn is great. they have one at the showme track in st. louis. you can hit that thing at WOT and still make the turn. but thats outdoors and if i hit that indoors with a runaway straight on. . . lets just say you could def. try for highest mark on the wall!!

That's 4 more races than me. haha... My track time consists of a few laps with a RC10GT, a few with a buggy, and 3/4 with a T3 before my super rooster fried. Should be fun though...

Yeah.. chances are I will lose. My guess is that we are somewhere close on driver skill but with a buggy v mt race the MT generally needs to have a much better driver. It will be fun competition though...
