Randy et al.  – sure using a rental is a good idea and requires no time for setup.

— NO firm discussions have been held to-date on what Actual Classes would be run long-term on the track, (or rules thereof) it will require some experiments.  Most likely in the long run,  1/24 “sprint” cars; short-track “modifieds” and “late models”; Indy/F1; Muscle/Pony-Cars; and various other retro classes will probably be tried.
— My proposal is for a ASCC only event, on a Sat or Sun, Not attempting to mix it up with the locals.

OBJECTIVES
a)  Allow ASCC members to experience an 8-Lane larger track with challenging features.
b)  Allow ASCC to consider if Any future crossover can occur, such as adding 1-24 scale 3/32 wheel/tires to some legacy ASCC cars (DTM for example); and any future events (timed but for fun and not for points).
c)  Consider this as a fun venue for 1-24 BRM and ScaleAuto races.
d)   Show Tom some interest and pave the way for future “mixed” events once the flat track is broken in and various classes have been defined.  I for one am interested in the Sprint cars – they are very popular up in Dallas.

At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
