It’s a small place but we’re going to squeeze a 14x30 hillclimb and 1/8 dragstrip in there

Renovations of the space are underway. Our suite was part of a combined space previously so it didn’t have a bathroom. That is partially complete along with demo of the old flooring.

Nice start Ryan! Bob builds some great tracks, although I don't know if he has any East of the Mississippi. How many lanes is he planning for your hillclimb? 6-lanes might have a smaller footprint than 8, but either will do. I currently run on a 4-lane Tunkel Bros. home/club track & it's fun too. Keep showing your construction photos, myself & others find them interesting.

Thanks Bill!
It will be an 8 lane track

Reading this thread, I thought I stumbled into a Lowell George/Litte Feat song. Lol

An idea some customer shared with us...
You market to the regional people. Offer them seniors racing. The hook is you use H&R complete cars. You get 10 matched cars. Then turn the voltage low. This way a first timer can make a lap easy. The nursing homes all have small buses. The retired have unlimited time. Real looking cars that are easy to drive.... old people that are having fun...
