track going up in huntley

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Jeff and I stopped by this saturday. Jeff had his electric revo and eletric matrix buggy. I had my Jammin buggy.

The track is close to being finished but much of the rocks still need to be filtered out of the soil, at least the bigger rocks anyways. But its a very cool track, and even though we couldn't use the whole track (they were working on sections of it, so wherever they were, we weren't).

Its BIG is all I can say. I've been to LHR and the length of this track easily surpasses LHR. So those of you with bigger motors will get to stretch your legs a little.

So far it looks like they are going to have one main track, and its over 1/4 mile long, with an extended section for an even longer lap. The back section all the way on the right looks like its straight out of a moto-x style setup. Lots of big jumps following into tight hair pins. The main section is more flat with some nice whoops and very tight switchbacks, which on the loose top soil there now were very difficult to navigate with a 1/8th scale buggy. Once the track is finished and they water it down it ought to be better.

Currently setup is also a dirt oval thats being built, its not finished enough yet to run on, but its there. It was great fun out there, and looks to be a really nice, BIG track. Entering the main straight you are coming off a HUGE banked turn, there will be some massive speed on the straight.

They are also interested in a drag strip (just a thought at this point), and they have the makings of a rock crawling area too.

So its something for just about everyone. Truggies look to be the best handling option out there now.

Here is a panoramic pic I stitched together from 3 photos. I didn't resize it, so it weighs in at 1.4megs with medium jpeg compression.
