As of now, the flat track has been pieced back together. Currently, Mark is re-braiding the track. The new braid will not be magnetic braid.
After re-braiding, Mark will need to get power to the track, wire the track, and set up the lap counting system.
I will try to get another update out before I go to the Sano.

The flat track is up and running. This coming Sunday, the locals, who ran on the flat track at the old location, will hold a race at 1pm. (I don't know the rules for their cars.) If there are no problems with the scoring system, the USRRA race on Oct 29th will be held. We are running GT Coupe and Can-Am. Then, on Nov 5, USRRA and Penn-Ohio will hold a joint race. The joint race will run stock cars, Can-Am and F1.

Spent some time on it when I was at Mark's for an ORS race. Fun track to race on. Totally different experience than running the high bank of a King track. It's a new universe...
