Here's a few pics I found tonight. I didn't take the photo's
Here's the driver's stand
The whole track during one of the practice heats:
from the otherside:
one more from the side
the monster back straight 185 feet!
end of the backstraight into the sweeper, Arena trucks were clipping at this point:
Track was 185 x 90 maybe a little bigger. 342 total entries, controlled practice started on tuesday and went thru wednesday. Thursday was all trucks, 1/10th, MT, Intermediate Arena and Expert Arena with the lower mains being run after 4 rounds of qualifying. Friday was all buggy Intermediate and Expert with lower mains being run in the evening. Saturday was all B and A mains. Roughly 300 spectators showed up today for the mains which is more than I had expected. Lap times around the track were in the 30 seconds range. My best laps in Intermediate Arena were 32.4. One of the Weelers running a Mugen MBX5T in Expert Arena truck was busting off some 27.4 laps in the closing minutes of the A Main. Expert Buggy times around 29.x.
I had a string of poopy luck to say the least. Practice was great only broke a lower arm towards the end of one session. First qualifier, pit man got me on track late, halfway through first warm up I had to cut the track to get topped off on the back straight for the start and broke another arm on the pipes. Second qualifier I just wanted to make some laps to make up for it so I went pretty easy only turning an 8/5:04 which put me 5th I think. 3rd qualifer running a fast third I had to get marshalled and the marshal threw me infront of another truck which hit me hard and stripped out my steering horn. 4th qualifier, I fudged up maintenance when I replaced the steering horn and forgot to reset my endpoints which tore out the gears of another steering horn, 0 laps. Placed in D main (insert laughter here) and during the warm up laps my truck was pulling to the left so I adjusted the trim come down the back straight to top off and the truck makes a hard left into the stands ripping off another arm, 0 laps. Seems my Spektrum glitching problem has returned. It was a blast even though I sucked bad. Three friends made the Intermediate A Main with one finishing second and another finishing 7th.
