Yes, that's the plan.
I have a few slightly different idea's on drag racing parts.

Excellent news
Look forward to seeing what you come up with

Here's a view from the front window.
As you can see, it's reverse "L" with Pizza Hut located beyond the wall on the right.
It's an overall 124 ft. length with an 84 ft. long span on the wall on the right, that is partially obscured.

Is the back door at grade or is it dock height?
I know a guy that has disassembled a track or six in the past...

Wow, awesome Mike!!

Looks like a very nice place. I tried to post a pic of the outside from google street view but it must have been blocked. This is in the shopping center with the pets supply's plus on the end correct.
Mike will you be keeping all of your current tracks or will you be building anything new.

It's hard to get it to "take" in the exact right spot.
Best I can do.
Go to this link;
https://maps.google....ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ
Hit the Taco Bell " A",
Hit "Street view"
Hit the right arrow on the street 2 or 3 times.
It's to the left of the Pizza Hut.
It's an old pic.
The Pet's Supply Plus put up their own building down the street, east, a few blocks, across from Hobby Lobby.

Congrat Mike, hope the move goes well.
A motor is only as fast as the chassis it's in.

As you can tell we're all rooting for you. Isn't a three year lease a little short? I like the nod to pinewood derby. Now you just need a lot to run RC. LOL

R/C cars run real nice on my flat track, especially with the soft walls.
I have a guy who runs his Kyosho Mini Z's and he says the slots don't affect him at all.
