Looks like there's going to be a postponement of the "Hillbilly Nats" with the new G21 arriving sometime in November. I'm sure Mr. GoFast will post something to bring us all up to speed.

Excuse me if I missed it, but what is the purpose of the new track? Didn't Tracy just build his own King?

Matt.

 

It was just not as good as he expected. He wants the best and fastest and he's going to do it.

Can't wait..

Half Fast,

USRA has a submitted parts list, Worlds rules don't.

Also some people are not happy with USRA rules.

Yes, and he has admitted it was "bucket list" item personally to build a King track.

IMO Tracy tried to "push" the envelope in a couple of ways and it seems that a couple of his approaches weren't the improvements he had hoped they would be.

Thus he has ordered a new King from Gary Gerding, the acknowledged master of King track construction at this time. I believe Tracy desires to have one of the world's best and fastest King tracks and that's what he seemingly has tasked Gerding to supply.

I'll have the Group F results from Thursday posted later today, Bill. After driving up from Atlanta yesterday, I was just too bushed to stay until it was over last night.

It was good to see you at the track last night, Greg. Tracy was looking for you to judge concours before the start of the Group F race, but someone said that you had already mailed out. Tonight's another story though.
