Never a dull moment here at chitownRC!

Well There You Have It B.e.!!!!!

The track is looking good, I like the little walls/fence idea, it should work fine to keep people from going over the edge.

So Bernie, since there isnt going to be tubes, is the track going to be "dug out" a little, to provide a little dirt curb outlining the track instead of tubes?

I have not doubt it will be great no matter what you do, just Git-R-Done soon!

I like the fence idea.......but i would love to see someone in the middle of a race fly over that fence. that would be funny

I think you mean Burms

All I can say is after I get back from rd. 1 in St.Louis I will be ready for some local outdoor LH Raceway wheeeeeeelin dang it!! The largest outdoor track by far that I have ever been to is gonna be crazy when Bernie opens the joint. Cant wait. Thanks again Bernie

outdoor track is looking GREAT!

Yes the grassy part will be higher so there will be a burm of dirt around the lanes. we will start with the layout we have now and on Mondays weather permit we will change some jumps , cut in some new lanes so that the track layout will not be the same each week.

Bruce you should go into politics. You would get paid to argue and complain.

Bernie... Track loks great. Keep up the good work.

Track looks great Bernie. Hope your recovery is doing well.

Glad to hear about the weekly changes bern-bot!

Or for them (as in more than one driver) that are running behind someone else that biffs a tube and kicks one out into the track

Or for those that Marshall and get their foot tangled in one that got knocked out of place by a vehicle.....and they take a tumble while their head winds up 'in the way' of a flying 5 pound pile of plastic and aluminum.

Or for the marshall that might get one shot out from under the tires of a car/truck whos driver didnt see it laying there.... and the marshall gets it stuck in his eye.

The current 29 cent hoops SUCK.... EVERY time I have been at the track, I was picking some up, and trying to push em back in while marshalling. If it wasnt me, it was someone else.



Your track, your ideas, but from the cheap seats, that $400 or so, seems like cheap insurance, to keep participants a little SAFER.

But than again, there is ONLY 14-15 hours of daylight now.....them lights are more important than some kids eye.

most cars are 8lbs plus lol

5 pounds.... 8 pounds....10 pounds or 4

How are YOU gonna feel if your car ( or truck) blasts someone in the skull because they tripped over one of them 29cent hoops?

But hey....at least it will be light enough to be able to see the kids eyes roll to the back of his head.

Some short sighted folks might even think it would be kinda cool to see. That is until some kids mom or dad sues the track into non existance.

I don't want to start this arguement again but I do not feel it is safe for kids to be marshalling anyway. Their judgement and reflexes are just not developed enough yet....
