You might ask why is a photographer promoting tracks? I used to race until two years ago, and this track was my home track. From the day ground was broken for it I have put many hours of work on it. Matter of fact just got back from the track.
Here is a link for schedule (http://www.hobbytown.com/PAREA/Racing02.html).

Improvements for 2008 include.
-Sprinkler system which covers the entire track!
-new raised pit lane with a great new pit area.
-races will be run reverse from all years previously.

While it is not the biggest track around, it has high speed straights, big jumps, but it also has technical areas. A little bit for everyone.

This will be a great year to check out the track!

April 19 is the first race.
Track is finished. Drivers stand and pit lane, sprinkler system, and the track looks great.

Looks alot like my home track, same size roughly, but my track has some really large jumps for the thrill seekers in all of us. Technical, you bet, high speed straights and turns, of coarse. Pit road, very similar as is the driver box. I like it, reminds me of home. Good Job.

The first point series race was great.
The track held up good, there are some little changes that need to be made. A good turn out was expected, but we were all surprised at how many people showed up.
