Butch obviously has too much time and money and a lot of skill. Both the track and race room are awesome.

Don't let my son see this or his x-mas list will have yet another over the top item on it. Love the Penske effect with the matching red stripe.

Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.

That way you can see if you have enough time to walk back to the driver's stand during a lane change. As opposed to running there like a madman. :laugh2:

I would assume Willy, there are two that face the drivers stations, one each for the 2 work areas and one for the race director....I'm sure Butch will correct me if I am wrong, but that makes sense to me.....

Butch .............that is the most awesome track build and set up i have ever seen. Great job.

There are a few raceways out there that can use a guy like you to help them set up their own raceways. Nice job and good luck.

Not to steal Butch's thunder, but he has built other tracks before this one. He does know what he's doing.

No Willy, the car doesn't run. It's for decoration and atmosphere.
Butch held a test day yesterday. Quite a few guys turned up and the track went very well....it will get even better as it ages. One guy even arrived in a helicopter...that's an entrance!
Butch lives in the Midwest as well Willy....you should see if you can track him down and join his group of racers. I'm sure you will fit right in with them and have a blast.
