The painting has started, at Rt93 Raceway. Here are some pics I took today.
Will have more as we progress. Not sure how to post pics, so I dumped them in an Photobucket album.
If some one knows of a better way to post pics let me know.

Hope this works.

Thanks,

Steve

Hey everyone,

It's been a long day. Braid, track wiring removed, track sanded. Lanes rerouted, cleaning up, getting ready for paint Monday.

I also posted more pics. More updates later.

I just found out that the oval will be gone over as well by Gerding Fast Tracks. So this is great news for our oval racers...

Saw a pic of the track, painted and striped. She is looking good! What type of paint did Gerding put down?

We used oil-based epoxy.

Can't wait to visit the refurbed track! It looks great!

Looks like the closest thing I have seen to Tom Thumb in Columbus.

Very sweet!

Just to update, Rt 93 Raceway will be closed until Thursday, March 29. This is due to the oval being redone.

The wiring on the King is 90% done, the braid is about half done. The oval has been painted black, the lane stripes are on, and we are going to start wiring tomorrow. I hope we can start building the infields on Sunday.
