I worked hard Friday night and Saturday morning, then Tom came over to help Saturday afternoon. Now . It's not near completed, but it is painted, braided, and bolted together. We did some rough electrical work and by 9:30 we had 2 lanes running. After all the work we have put into the track is felt great to be running laps on it. The track is green and grip is low, but it seems to be getting better already.
So far it races even better than I had imagined it would. I was worried about the inside lane being so tight on the corners at the ends of the front stretch, but it seems to balance out well. Tom ran the outside lane and I ran the inside lane with a pair of Whisper Jet cars and he would make ground on me on the back of the track, but I could get it all back on the front half. I know the grip level is going to change and that will make it race different in the end, but as of now the shorter way around the corner is slightly quicker.
Pictures coming soon and a video too if I can figure out how to post it.
