My friend asked me to design the electrical infrastructure for the track.

I was up there this past Friday to meet with the utility company, and after the meeting took my T/A for a leisurely lap around the track.

This is with my iPhone taped to the rear view mirror. You can see some grading at the edges still going on and not all safety barriers in place, so I was not going to push my luck

First scheduled race is May 3

I like the course, Very Pretty Area. Bet Johnny (the F-bird Hill Climber would like it too).

Much more like a "Hill Climb" course followed by a "Hill Descent" course for a single car or small multiple cars. Sports 2000 cars
