The track was awesome this last weekend. It had so much bite and was so fast. Keep up the good work!! We really appreciated it.

Thanks Rob. Dad worked on the track yesterday trying to get that goofy hump out of the backstretch so hopefully that will be better too.

The track conditions were great this weekend it was fast as usual and it wasn't to bumpy but on the other hand some of the drivers out there should respect the other cars out on the track there will always be a little bumping and rubbing but just be careful you don't come down in someone's line and smash them, make sure you passed them all the way before you take over their line, in the long run that would help yourself and everyone around you.

I'm sorry to be the one that says it first but last night track was the worst I have seen it up there...there were bumps all over the track it was bad thought at times I was going to pop out of my seat because of hitting a bump.i know you can't get the track perfect all the time.also is there any way during practice to move the barrels down to where they are during a normal race because it is hard to get your kart set up with them that high.i get you wanna get that second grove to have more places to pass. See if there's maybe another way to do it.because doing a practice the way the race will be will give people that chance to set up their kart to have some better racing as well.

I agree the track conditions were very bad this week. That was completely my fault. Dad chopped the track up this week to get some fresh clay to the top. He had it looking great. I failed to make it up on Friday night to put water on so it could soak in over night. So Saturday I tried pounding it with water and over did it. Then I tried running it in a little too early which brought the clumps up. Bottom line, track will be back to normal condition this Saturday.
As for moving the barrels during warmups, there is really no other way to get a wide groove set in. Years ago the complaint was only one groove. We will take a look at other options. If anyone has any ideas throw them out here. Thanks

What about putting the barrels where they are during the race and have people run a few laps up high then have do a few laps of normal runs

What if u just bring the barrels out about 6 inches to a foot that will still allow to lines and drivers can still get a decent feel of the way there kart will handle

I would like to add as far as for the barrels, my suggestion would be to call as many karts to the track as possible and have them start high at about 1/2 speed and work there way down showing them where you want them to run. just my opinion bc i do know it sucks to set up your kart not knowing how its going to handle. i watched this done at another track and it worked great with lots of double wide racing!!
