I am not sure when it will be completed. I will have to make sure everything works, maybe have some racers come to try it out first then we can talk about having a race.

Always love seeing new tracks being built! It's even better hearing about it being built by it's owner!IMO it's not a easy task to undertake.

I hope it brings you alot of Pride, because it definatly should! It looks great! a drivers king instead of a bunch bowl :D

Malcolm,

I am envious beyond belief. That is a very beautifully done King track my friend. You should be very proud as it looks like a true masterpiece. I hope it drives as well as it looks. If I lived closer I'd work on your cars (the real ones) for free just to be able to hang out there.
