I think Sunday may be the best day to come out, since we'll be trying to do some in-field painting, track patching etc. on Saturday.

| Hey John, nice meeting you today. It was great to see Danny and Abraham out there too. I met a bunch of new guys including Andrew and DJ as well as some old timers that have been around a while. The track looks great. You guys have done a phenomenal job! I noticed you posted that the track will be open starting Saturday for practice. Will the track be open Sunday too? Also, what time frames do you expect we will have access to the track? Thanks for all the hard work. - Pete

| Yes, Crystal was the best. I liked when she would say, "Eric Gonzalez, is on pace for 18 Laps, Eric Gonzalez is currently in the TQ position." (Too bad she didn't say it that much :/ )

| OK, guys this that I am writting is for us locals only. this weekend id the first run at the new track. Let me say that I was there to help this past weekend and the track is great. with no sugar water the traction was good and the tire wear was not much at all. We need to go and support the track, remember we have not had one for a while. John and his associates have put a lot of time and money with no help. We, as racers can help by going and supportting the facility. It will open Sat and Sun. 10am to 6pm and it is $10 for the day. Not bad for a full day of fun. Pass the word to the local hobby shops. It is a fun event to hang with the old friends and new. Coem out and show your support. The track really needs all to help. Also if anyone has an item that the track could use or is able to give donations please see John at the track. Thinks like blowers, spray containers, $$$$$(all is appreciated). See you guys this weekend.

| OH i can take my car, it won't go very fast seeing as how it's completely apart. Oh yeah, engines are disassembled too. One is suffering from no compression, and one from Detonation from hell. Needless to say, either one won't run. Besides it wouldn't be fair to you Danny, your throttle finger must have a creak from all that time off :)
And Forget it, no CHEESE for anyone!

| Im glad to see everyone once again excited about Racing! It has been a very long and tedious project to say the least for everyone involved. I am also excited and also getting the race bug myself once again. This track also it seems will have a great talent pool and will be a-lot of fun. We also have some new people comming out to race with us.

| Yeah DJ Im looking forward to race. I cant wait to get back in and have some fun as they say. I got rid of my 710 and building another car now. I think we are going to have a blast at this track. I think with the talent out there this track will be a great place to sharpen up. Personally I think at least in this state the best drivers will be out there. And its going to be a great place to learn as well for others. Dont know if my personal car will be finished this weekend but ... i'll drive something just for kicks.

| Wow! Today was a blast! I didn’t run but it was great to see so many old friends and racers at the track. It was a great turn out the first day a lot of drivers showed up with some of he top drivers out in force. Art Carbonel, DJ, Robert M., Andrew D, Danny Horta, Felix Law, Chuck Moon and Joaquin D…the list goes on. It seemed that the track had good traction and very fast. The timing system clocked low 14s for touring and mid 13s 1/8scale. The guys from the local hobby stores were there and so were some factory drivers. Seemed everyone liked the track and they loved the long fast straight in front of the drivers stand. Everything seems to be in order for some great events and some exciting racing at this track. I know more and more people are going to go out and some are just getting their cars and RC gear in order. Personally I am very excited to get back into racing and should have my car
ready by early October. Most of the guys are out there and getting a good feel for the track before the official races begin. John Rodriguez put up a good show and all the hard work from everyone involved paid off. Guys I think we have a winner here..
Let the Races Begin!!!
