That is so sweet OWB...thanks for sharing...I'm a huge fan of the Woods brother team since they took on my favorite NASCAR driver Ryan Blaney who is really kicking up the dust and one of the new great younger gen racers!!!

I wish those guys would take the AMR 150 foot Imperial track I need to get out of my storage! I am near Richmond, and they are right there in Stuart! Tell them they can have it for free!!

I raced on an epoxy paint surfaced American Imperial track for a few years in the mid-late 1980s, just before I had the opportunity to open my own Long Island commercial raceway. We ran hard body cars, womps, the then new Parma Flexi Kars, and various group 12, 15, 20 and 27 USRA wing cars. Basically a "Blue King" style layout, but with much more driving involved, even when comparing the original American designs side by side. The Imperial is 5 feet shorter, has elevation changes in the main straight, and that little short chute in the middle of the doughnut, just to mention a few. The GP 15 and 27 "Pros" used to "glue" that little strip!
Wish I had a place to set up "Big Red", I'd be jumping at the chance! Hope it finds a home real soon. -- Ernie :>)
