Just picture this in your head and you'll have it
Lets see, there wood with slots, with corners and straights and have 8 lane colors painted on them. Really pretty red on the walls of the kingleman, Then the hillclimb has a very bright psychedelic green, Frank should love it !, and the oval has 2 corners, and 2 straights, and the cars go around really fast !, and the walls are yellow ! Then the drag strip is a pretty blue, and is long and straight !

Ok enough of that !

I'd love to use two of the tracks, though that is up to Frank. and Debbie. I'd like to see GT-1 run on the hillclimb amd everything else on the Kingleman.

Attached phot is of the hillclimb before it's move to Ohio from Canada

Photos by days end !

Jerry's afraid of the track as you have to be able to see, and feel the trun under the bridge. The Penn Ohio Guys loved this track when they were here.

Any way attached our the photos

Second by 20 to 30 laps is nothing to be proud of :laugh2: But it was better then the rest of us did.:(

I have seen you run scale cars. A hot Iron, Several Motor changes, Five or Six body's, and unlimited track calls for no other reason then over your head driving and you may even finish. :sarcastic_hand:. M&T mafia is that like South East Michigan Retro Racing Association:scratch_one-s_head:

Yo Amigo Frank,

Are you going to go with Kit's decision run GT1 on the Hill Climb then the fast cars on the Kingleman.
Sounds good to me! Looks like we'll have great time on those tracks!

Jerry I love ya and May Bear rest in peace, though Bear unfortunately is the one that condemed my hillclimb because he couldn't drive it with the faster cars, and you guys all took his word as the gospel. He had no real issue with GT-1's on the track, and nobody else has either.

Yes it aggravates the hell out of me that one person was able to condem a huge investment with little practice, maybe he was having a bad racing day that day !

I'm sorry isn't this racing ?
Isn't there suppose to be some challange to it ?
Even Cap is grumbling as he hasn't practiced on this track either, maybe it will take away the home field advantage !

Amigos,

Come on, It's alittle hill climb with a GT1 8/28 standard gearing! To run slowest class on this track is a no brainer!
This track is in much better shape than the Evil Orange of Shifters and Bear HATED that track. After the last race of the TRRS 2005/06 season. Bear Said that his shadow will not darkin' this doorway every again! Because the purple lane on that track you had to maintain it every heat or it would roll up in the hair pin. That's were Bear claims he lost the GTP Championship, because the car kept on deslotting in the purple lane going around the hair pin. There fore losing the race and championship! Track looks smooth and fast come on racers come on out and have a BLAST!

Hey Willy, for gearing I run a 9 or 10 tooth pinion for group 10, and a 8 or 9 for GTP.

Both tracks are nice and smooth, and not too hard to get the hang of.

Brian, I always have to run a practice car on your track first, i forget about the dog leg before the doughnut, thats hard on cars! :laugh2:
