Great stuff but when are the pictures from? How long has the track been up and running?

The track has been up and running since Nov. 2002. The Silky brothers did the routing and bolted it together and left it as you see it in the first two pictures with Kirk and I. The Silky brothers were doing some track work at Raceway U.S.A. for Howard and did this job while here, I think they were from Minnesota. John Gill and I spent about every other Sat. during the summer finishing it up. I wound up re-routing it as the guys did not rout it deep enough, but all I had to do was follow their lines.
