We're Back !!!!!!! :good: Route 93 will be back up and running on Thursday March 29th, we have 2 new faced tracks. Willy has given both tracks his seal of approval for racing. Our main focus was getting the tracks done and other improvements to the shop will be coming through out the summer months, (I promised my guys I would keep the shop "manly" and no "fufu" items), getting ready for our Memorial Race to Frank on Saturday September 1st.

The family and I would like to give a special thank you to all our guys for helping Gary doing the tracks. Steve "X" Reed, Willy Custer, Dan "Cableman" Myers, Dave "Cheeseman" Billie, Steve "Breadman" Spring and Ken "Mr. C" Custer, thank you guys so much for giving up vacation time and putting in long hours for both weeks. And thank you to Paul Underwood for making sure the ceiling were painted before Gary came.

(Special Note to Steve "X" Reed: thanks for the mini vacation --- even though I didn't know what to do with myself and I'm sorry for blowing up your phone)

I have never met Momma but she must be some lady!!! It is truly special what she has done. What a tribute. The track looks GREAT. I am looking forward to visiting some time this summer.

The Track looks Great!
Blue original with a black surface and new stripes. Perfect!

Looking to the 31st. when the Dynamic Thingie Challenge cars hit the track.

Mr. Frank will be in Heaven (watching) when the cars start to roll.
