Tim Homola of JK Products has announced that they plan to make their 'house' track available for club racing.

 

I assume that it is located in Carson City, NV, with the rest of JK world headquarters.

 

Here are some photos of the track:

 

 

 

 

This is all I know. (full stop)

 

I do not know the lap length, braid depth, what kind of power supply they use, what the surface is, what kind of hookups are on the drivers station, what timing and scoring system they use, who built it and when, where it was located in the past, what Tim had for breakfast, and so forth.

 

I know that there is a race to be scheduled soon (supposedly organized by NorCal USRA) but details have not been published.

 

As soon as more is known I will publish it in this thread.

But it is paramount that we know what Tim has for breakfast.

Looks like an Ogilvie track. I like the light gray roadbed.

That's the track from San Carlos - it's a great little track and good power. the controller hook-up is your standard alligator clip-on. passing is not advised on the banked turn - trust me, I know. I can tell you it's a plug-in power supply; i don't know the amperage but it handles all six lanes with no problem.

You could always PM him.

I'll have full official announcements hopefully very soon.

Pretty obvious who built it. When I do not know but we built I think 4 tracks for Jerry K.

Hi Steve,

 

I come from a family of woodworkers and your track is absolute artwork. Incredibly well crafted.

Thank you for your generous offer to the West Coast racers.

Are you guys planning a wing car race on that track? that's like a knife fight in a phone booth.

Typically NorCal USRA is Division II / ISRA style racing IIRC.

I was told by 1 of those that are going to play GrpF and a 1/32 class should be fun I have someone pulling hard on my ear for me to go but I'm already racing an Enduro at Weekend at BPR

 

told him next time should be fun though

Looks exactly like the 165 hillclimb at ASCR built by Ed Tunkle
