Default Blueridge update. Amherst, VA

I have been moving some dirt around and made the straights wider and longer, put in a pit lane and upgraded the banked turns. The direction has been reversed because of the pit lane. So now when you are on the drivers stand you go from left to right on the front stretch. And I have a friend that has a bobcat and he smoothed the track for me. And yes Scott, I rolled it....[X(] Still haven't finished the jumps yet, but here is the progress so far.......

Joe,

Is the track finished?
I would like to get a group to run in the next 2 weeks.
Anybody interested?

well I think that it is kind of up to Joe as to when we can race there --- but I would rather push it out to April 2nd. Maybe that way we could get some of the guys for Powhatan and Amherst to plan and show up too?

Unless Scott or Kevin want to drive there with the computer we may or may not be able to hold a race. Oh and electricity too.

well --- if you want to organize it -- I would recommend that you send Joe a PM from the CORR site and set it up with him. He is usually on the CORR site a couple times per day and is very good about taking the time to reply. Like I said give him a weeks notice as he is very busy this time of year with soccer and baseball for the county etc.....

Thanks Joel. Everything is a go for April 2nd. I will post on Powhatan site for a practice/fun run at Blue Ridge. Electricity and water will be there. I will also have some lunch for everybody. If you guys want to bring the computer for some practice laps and see how slow I run, you can do that too. [:@] I will also let the Amherst guys know too, and we might just have us a BIG r/c day!!!
