Track Reopen/Glue treatment applied

11-08-2010

The track is now reopened with a fresh layer of the glue treatment, there is now more traction than ever before and the track will not blow out like it did with the new layout!

New Layout/Track Closed

23-07-2010

The track will be closed Friday (7/23) and Saturday (7/24) for a new
layout and we will reopen Wednesday (7/28). The pipe was pulled out
Thursday, we will build the track with a bobcat Friday and Saturday, and
lay the pipe down the next few days. We will be at the track Friday and
Saturday starting at 7pm going into the morning so if you want to help
out, your next practice is free.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may of caused.

Any question call (760) 702-6083

We just purchased a transponder (computer lap counting) system so within
the next few months we will have weekly races.

The track progress is going very well. After I give the city my site plan, there will only need to be a few more things required before I can get the lease.
