Hey Ken it might go faster if it is in the REV position Grin

I have one correction the track is a little over 20 ft. long not 30 as listed.(typo)

here is a pic of the track seeing some action during the 2010 SE Regional meet

we had lots of fun, even the spectators enjoyed the race!

Note the trophys are wall plaques---but very nice!

Super nice way to have the whole family get involved! I see a $3 entry, no mention of a buy back? Are trans brakes and drag slicks allowed?
