John posted this pic of The Hillclimb we will be racing on next week... According to John, it is running.

Good job, Forrest and helpers.

Yep, we had a great breakfast and then went to the new facility.  The Hillclimb is running, counting laps and needs a good cleaning before the race this coming weekend.
 
We also put the oval back together and they had it pretty close to running when I left.
 
I look forward to seeing everyone to begin the New Year with a race "At the Track"

Track has been cleaned, braid repair and gluing tomorrow seems to be as smooth as before. The oval will be up and running Tuesday. We are planning to have practice races on the Grandstand Wednesday afternoon to get some rubber down and to make any adjustments that are needed. Friday evening regular race program resumes with practice on the Grandstand.

Real nice, fun day of racing.
 
Track had slight elevation changes which gave it a slightly different personality.

I liked it.
 
Kudo's to Forest and his crew on a job well done.
 
Not a great drive home.
 
I80 was closed.
 
Thanks to KVP on getting us home safe.

Great day of racing "At The Track". 

 

Thanks to Forrest and all his helpers for making an awesome new facility for us to play. Great job yesterday, looking forward to the next race.

 

 

Ride home sucked, 4hrs and 17min with a very brief pit stop at Chicagoland.  :bad:

Glad everyone made it home OK, sorry to hear it took so long though (WOW KVP, over 4 hours!). It was great fun racing with all the Illinois boys as usual, and the Anderson Kid too!
