I don't know if it was ever set up there, but that Sovereign was in Odessa, TX for a few years. In the last days there, they had grafted the Sovereign's D-shaped donut to an American Black & painted it purple.

Only 34 lanes? I had 52 lanes including Pinewood derby, 6 lane HO, 4 lane Ninco, 4 eight lane tracks, dragstrip, and a couple of 4 lane portables.

Went today and the place was closed, I was hoping to catch a glimpse at the progress since early Nov when I last stopped by...
HI Josh and Revtor,
,Any word/update on when the raceway will open? Days and hours of operation?
Many of us are very excited at the prospect of a new slot car raceway in North Jersey.
Josh, Best of luck with your new venture,

Oval got a revamp..
Revtor,
Thanks very much for the update. This place looks AWESOME!
When does Josh anticipate opening? What are the anticipated days and hours of operation ?
Just my 2 cent suggestion, but Josh may want to consider a 'soft opening' before he is completely finished to take advantage of strong winter revenue.
(As most of us know, typically raceways do not generate much participation/revenue in the Spring and Summer months)

I see a lot of tracks, but nothing in the way of pit space. I hope he's taken that into consideration.

Maybe make that oval removable? As was done at the old Fast Tracks location.

Easier to leave the oval there and cover it with a plywood top

Not exactly a panorama view of the facility.
Yup, hence my question.

It's supposed to be 9,000 sq. ft.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Not worried at all Mike. It's not a place I would frequent anyway as it's too far in a direction I don't like going (towards NYC LOL)
