Attached are some images of the 8-lane, over 100ft track.
One is of the drivers stations and 10 ft long front straight.
The other is of turn-1 and shows the other turns and climb/doughnut leading to the straight.

Sammy with MontroseRandy 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."... get on your bad motor scooter and ride!"

Nice looking car Marc!

Sammy with MontroseWHEN can we have the Race at Marc’s? During the holidays?

Sammy with MontroseAll – my key objectives were simply:
1. Make members aware that a stable-performing (the ones I have anyway), spec-equivalent to the classic Slot.IT Orange end-bell MX06 21.5k motor, is commonly available for only $9
** it has a black end-bell, exactly like the Slot.IT MX15 21.0k DTM motor
2. Suggest that when/if any supply-chain or performance issues seem to appear, in the future, with any 21.5- 23k motors, that the membership be allowed to propose, and vote on, domestically available alternatives.
Thanks for discussing the idea. “Case closed” for me anyhow 🙂

Sammy with MontroseRuss & Marty and club: My suggestions are to think about these options now and be prepared to consider them When and If the need arises.
I am really struggling how either of these two ideas add to complications for our members. Even in the last two years we have had a few series with a boat-load of options for brands and models of car, including some with multiple options regarding motors and wheels/tires – so not sure how any of this is any More complicated than that.
And seriously, if we can use a $9 motor that has the same performance as a $19 motor, why would we Not want the members to be aware of this and be able to Vote on it?
"... get on your bad motor scooter and ride!"
Sammy with MontroseMarty – careful reading of the proposal is for the conditions of the normally spec’ed motor to Not being readily available. If people want to buy additional motors, they can and will as they do now. Members personally control their costs, not any rules.
The existence of rules allowing alternatives does not Force anyone to spend more and in this case, if someone no longer has any spare Slot.IT 21.5 orange bells, black end-bell SIMX15 (21k DTM) or white end-bell SIMX16 (23k), why can’t they have the Option to replenish their spares for $9 a motor vs. $19? If a member wants to stock up with 3 new motors, $27 seems like a better bargain than $57 (again for no technical or legal advantage).
I suggest we have this and tire options Voted on by the membership. The 21.5 Piranhas have been out for a few years so they are a stable alternative and readily available from several retailers.
Regarding complexity – there is none. As I proposed, and as we have used in other series for gears and some other parts, there would be limited options:
E.G. for Slot-IT classes – we already allow: Classic MX06 (21.5), black end-bell SIMX15 (21k DTM), white end-bell SIMX16 (23k)
All I am suggesting is add another alternative closer to the classic Orange bell (Piranha PSM21 (21.5k))/.

"... get on your bad motor scooter and ride!"
Sammy with MontroseMarty my reference to Thunderslots is — in the case when and if they are somehow Not readily available. My point is to consider that alternative now, in advance, and be ready when and if that situation ever occurs.
Regarding the size, certainly that was the intent to stick to the Supergrips that when mounted are 10mm wide (as with SIPT28/F30s).

Sammy with MontroseMcLaren 720S, custom livery. 25k motor, lexan cabin. Supergrip rears and NSR zero-grip fronts.
NEXT PROJECT – FORD GT
"... get on your bad motor scooter and ride!"
Sammy with MontroseMarc – that’s pretty cool looking! Did you print your own decals?
"... get on your bad motor scooter and ride!"
Sammy with MontroseBSP* is fielding
— NSR McLaren (fantasy livery)
— Racer Ford GTI will be posting an Un-boxing page soon. The Racer Ford GT is 90% cool, very detailed, lite well built.
CONS: No lower front axle adjustment hole and not much “meat” to drill some with a M2 Tap.
17k long-can motor – certainly is going to be replaced.
"... get on your bad motor scooter and ride!"
Sammy with MontroseYou guys did great – welcome Home … I am looking forward to see the images on a main page article and some pages with pics. The pics did not always “make it” in the emails I received : (
