Same to the Locati's !

Busy when I get a chance to get out there on it, busy with other stuff when I don't!

Lap lengths are; 84 feet 7 1/4 inches, 84 feet 7 7/8 inches, and 84 feet 8 1/4 inches...........

I'm hoping to have a running track by November................

Thanks Monte.

Mulch huh...........Since you're experienced, wanna help me finish spreading what's left of the bark dust I have in my trailer???

-------------------Bill

I updated the photo gallery of my track build. Take a look under "Slot-Tech", and click on the "NEW Routed Track at TooBad Motorplex". I added about 30 photos to bring everyone up to speed on my progress.

Setting aside time to work on my track is my biggest challenge anymore. I have decided to rough in the scenery work before I paint the surface, tape and wire the track. Unfortunately this delays the racing, but I think it will be worth it in the end....................

This is a big project, and I am in no hurry.    ---------------------Bill

Sorry I couldn't make it Smooth. Sounds like it was another great event!   ----------------------Bill

I'm using cardboard to make some patterns. I transfer the shape onto the white covered fiberboard to make the retailing walls, and the raised "concrete sidewalk" type pieces under the overpass.

Well with your third place finish, the best Bryan could have done is to tie you..............

You guys both had a great season! It looks like you two were quite a few points ahead of everyone else.

I can't wait for the rematch next year! There are quite a few racers in our group who are capable of a win at any race. It is looking like we may have a couple HO tracks back in the mix next year, and hopefully my track will be done.

And, I am sure Bryan will be back and loaded for bear!!!!  ---------------------------Bill

So I was just looking at the scores going into the last race at Larry's. It looks like the race for the championship was much closer than I realized! It came down to this last race!

Going in Monte had a total of 112 points, with his lowest finish (a sixth place finish) thrown out. Bryan had a two point lead with 114 points, his lowest score to throw out was a zero from a race he had missed.

Although Bryan was two points ahead of Monte, if Monte finished better than sixth he would add to his point total. If he finished ahead of Bryan he would close the gap.

For Monte to win the 2011 Championship he would have to finish seventh or better, and finish three places ahead of Bryan.

Did he do it? Or has Bryan successfully defended his title for another year?

Unfortunately I missed the announcement of the finish positions after the race. I was in the "Blue Box"................funny how it's painted Ford blue huh!? I wonder if that means anything?

Larry, Thanks to you and Lynette for hosting yesterday's race. The new Slingshot track was a blast, and the food spread filled me up! Lynette, your chili was fantastic! It was great to see some of my old friends (emphasis on the "old"). Man, where have the years gone?    ----------------------Bill
