Thanks John--- it was a PERFECT DAY for racing---75 degrees and sunny-- we have fans over the pits and the race track if it gets warm. It's actually quite nice sitting on a nice patio deck with your buddies BSing racing and running slot cars!! Nicer than an indoor track in many ways! A few Corona's---chips and salsa--taco bar for lunch--not a bad day!!!

I think Dennis Samson may run Pebblestone in April--- I'm planning on running in May and June! Patio racing should be GREAT at that time of year!! Good weather---beer and food!!! Come on down and race with us!! Should be racing the first weekend-- when we get closer--I'll post the final dates and times.

Thanks
Tim

Will we be running the Fly Truck Proxy?

I hope you haven't run the stuffing out of those trucks by now! Some of them were a bit short on brakes as it was, and with your long downhill it will be fun trying to stop them!

I haven't taken them out of the box-- I didn't think I should-- I figured we would run them in the same order you did at the Pebble!!
I'll be playing/working on the track this week and into the weekend-- I want to try and be sure I have the "glitch" worked out we've experienced with the "Trackmate" program during racing. I'm hoping to run the trucks AND other races as well. Come on out and race with us.

My greatest fear would be dropping a washer or small item on the floor/deck and losing it when it falls through the gap between the floor boards :(

Love the track :)

Yeah--no worse than "shag carpeting"!! :laugh2: Keep your screws up on the table--because there IS a gap in the deck boards!! So far, we haven't lost anything we couldn't easily replace!! :clapping: :dance3: If that's all your worried about---nothing to worry about!! :victory:

Just a reminder guys-- we'll need plenty of good drivers out for the Fly Truck Proxy race this coming Saturday---if you've been thinking about checking out the "Hillside" --please come on out and run with us!! We've got I think 16? trucks to run--and we'll run a couple of other class's as well--the track will be in great shape for the race. :)
