There's something wrong with your computer, John. It's got the lanes looking all squiggly.

It would be even nicer if you could sneak out here for the race.Man that is nice..
I'll have to check with slot racing bylaws but I think you might be "obligated" to come to keep John and Noose in line.
Also Ken Swanson mentioned something about willing to massage yours shoulders in the pits.
PS: Some pictures of the finished track (with all the walls on) will posted ASAP.
I've been busy spiffing the place up a bit for the series races here this weekend.

That's all you can do do. Thanks.
At least the Ken Swanson shoulder rubs didn't scare you off?

It runs under the observation loft from the main straight (or clockwise from the driver's panel).

Ironically, one my customers, a design engineer nicknamed Mr. Horsepower (Steve Grider), drew them up on his Cad-Cam.
After he saw them routed, he deadpanned "Maybe you should have went with one of the other drawings" (all softer).
They're actually way easier to drive than they look (probably because you enter them shortly after a turn).
Two-four cars going through them next to each other is worth the price of admission.

WOOOAAAAHHH!!!
SHOULDER RUBS???
I'm dissapointed, Mike. I thought we had something special that was just between us. Now you want to farm me out to anyone just to entice them to come to your little race. I for one will not be a part of your tawdry, seedy games............................................. OK, if Tony P. shows up, maybe just one very short shoulder rub. But that's it. Just one. And very short. I do have standards you know.
Oh yeah, I'll be there for the Sano, dude.
Cheers, Ken

I just wanted to keep this thread from getting to far down the list so those of you who haven't raised your hand yet don't miss it. I'm sure Mike would love to know how many to expect.
Mike, I believe another guy might come with me and Hershman is planning on coming.

Pappy,
Why don't you go ahead and edit your original post and list everyone's name that has been mentioned so far.
Include the maybes.I would just like a general idea. Leave me off but include Ray Price. I'm pretty sure he'll race.
