Track Details!

DH,

No need for me to bring the extra dirt this time around! Got the "OK" for 510 yrds of the good stuff! Double the amount used last year, 43 truck loads compared to 21!

I did not show the dirt base in the previews cause I did this one in a rush, my old computer crapped out and I got a new one on Tuesday morning, just as I was finishing up some stuff on the first version of this stuff!

When being built, the track will be laid out with an 8" base , then the obstacles, minimum of 12' Lanes, 15' Wide Back Straight and track will measure 180ft x 85ft. Using the software to create these images, I mapped out the shortest line around the track and its 617ft, hugging the pipe! Think about the track in '07', lap times should be right about the same. If you got the nerve, the double and table top on the right side of the track can be cleared!(Based on my math calcs!)

Hope you can make it out! I will need more of your expert driving tips!

Regards,
Lawrence "Budz" McCorrister

PS.
Delmo came up with the original layout which was then tweaked by the Clutch Nutz and Myself.

DH,

Sorry to hear that your not gonna make it out! Ow well, I would LOVE to make the Nitro Pit as well, but considering the $ factor, Winter Nats is easier to swallow for me!

Good luck man, hope you have great time in AZ!

Chewy and Martin, you guys coming west? I owe you two some wobbly pops!

Regards,
Lawrence "Budz" McCorrister

PS.
Joe, I drive Jammin too!
