That's awesome and exciting, Mike!

 

Cruzin' Bob builds some really nice tracks.

 

Thanks, Mike.

So that's where you've been, Michael! Roadtrip!
 
I hope to run on it sometime. Which cars will you mostly be running on it?

Hi Eddie,

 

You are only two hours away now.

Starting out with flexis and mini-can motors. Same as BPR and Piranha. Built the track to mimic those two, similar turn radius and braid depth.

You're welcome anytime. So far, it's hard to find racers.

Thanks,

Mike T.

Congrats on your new track!  :sun_bespectacled:

The future may be IROC racing. You provide four identical cars and controllers and eight drivers can race and corner work.

That's going to be a fun race track.  :)

"Your welcome anytime, so far, it's hard to find racers."

Mike, have you yet tried forms of local advertising to let the word know you're there? If you have rental cars, run some impromptu five or 10 lap races when you have customers.

Thanks for the tips, Bill.

I've been through this before with a previous track in San Diego. In time they will come and we will have a lot fun.

That's right, add a slot (play on word) machine and people will come. You built the track, people will come.
 
Where have I heard that from. :laugh2:  :victory:  :good:  :sun_bespectacled:
 
Looking forward to enjoying your awesome-looking track.

Michael,

I hadn't seen the photo before tonight. That should be a fun track to drive, I particularly like the light gray roadbed. From past experience, even black cars can be easily seen.

Two hours? I guess if I get on a plane! :-). I'm still in L.A. But I've been known to travel to race. Especially on a track that is very similar to mine!  
 
I'll get in touch with you for details.

Hi Eddie, I was under the impression you lived in Utah near the NV border.
