I wanted to try running on the new flat track there, and try out a couple $100 Wing cars, too.
When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised to find the place very busy. There were lots of different people there. Families running plastic cars, Steve from Parma was doing a paint seminar, and my buddies R-Geo Rick, Bob K., and Brian Cox were there, too.
The owner Mark, was very friendly and the place looked great lots of pictures, and a flat screen TV with Speed Channel playing.
The flat track was great. I was able to get a couple cars really going well and the steel braid worked great for the guys with the plastic 1/32 cars.
The King was good too, smooth and old school, without much banking. It was fun because even the low power $100 cars had to be driven, not full punch.
If you are ever in the Akron/Canton area, make sure to go to Mark`s Model World. It's right up the street from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. You will have a great time.

Also, if you follow the links on YouTube, there are five other videos of "in car" point of view runs around a couple of the tracks - pretty cool!
Enjoy!
