    Only thing about that is that it's hard to get everyone to actually commit to something.


    I'm down of course though. I can send out the message

    It's always worth a try especially if a place that mainly caters to domestics actually wants to hold and import event there. It's a huge step forward for around here in my opinion.

    you would have 2/5 of a mile to stop if it were 1/4. Have fun with that. the standard is slightly more than a half mile to stop. 1/8 mile is fine by me for some testing but every 1/8 mile track around me is a PILE OF SHIT. Steele has about 2700ft of stopping room.

    All 1/8 mile tracks started as 1/4 tracks except a very select few that have been built in the last decade.
