Clyde, we will be racing Retro on the Ogilvie King. I estimate braid depth to be about .025". This track was originally the Koford test track. It came from Fort Ogelthorpe, you might be familiar with it.
Our Retro races have been pretty low key to date, just trying to get the ball rolling.

Great turnout last Saturday with 10 entries. The May Retro race has been moved to the first Saturday in May to accommodate the Flexi Challenge Series event.

Retro Can-Am will be racing at Upstate Speedway on July 12, doors open by 10:00. There is potential for a second retro race, perhaps GT Coupe, if the interest exists.

Eddie, JK natural rubber tires work well. Sorry it is unlikely the track will have them in stock. I will have an extra pair if you need them.
