Nice piece of artwork there guys.

Hope the day goes well and you all enjoy yourselves.

If I was there I would enter my Alpine in the Historic class and an MSC Ford RS200 in group "B"

Hope you post some pics of the day.

BTW Monte - We caught up with the guys in Austin Texas a couple of weeks ago

PS- that's a mighty nice lookin track- is that by any chance one that will be used in the SCX proxy?

Hi Rico. No No No. It's meant to be a rally, not a round of the Le Mans or F1

Here are some pics from a round on my tracks used for last years Oz rally.

What's MIO finish?

Micaceous Iron Oxide paint is used a lot for protection on steel but the guys here have found it handy for routed tracks for two reasons. 1. It sort of looks like a smooth bitumen (tar or what ever you guys call it) surface and 2. provide tons of grip. Sort of the roughness of 800 grade wet and dry (emery paper). Most coat it with a high to low build water or oil based clear. Bit of knowledge to get it just right.

Here it is with one coat of a water based clear
