This is the space we have available for the Clubs big track. It would allow marshaling from almost the whole way around the track. It has eight 4ft pit spaces close by. We have a removable wall section that the track could slide through and equipment that can lift it.

We have no desire to interfere with the club business, but would like to see a larger flat track built soon, either by the club or by us. We would also like to carry parts that are used frequently and a few cars for new members.

We invite any of the members to come out and check out the space available.

Can someone give me the measurements for the two tracks so I can see how they might fit into our available space? That way we will know if this is even an option for you guys. I am guessing the large one to be approx. 5 x 24.

We are willing to work with you guys anyway we can. If you need a temporary home for the track while you look elsewhere or something more permanent, let us know.

For the power on the drag we have a 90 amp bulldog on each lane with a capacitor, the trap we will have to figure out what works best.
The oval and kingleman will have one supply for four lanes.
We would like to get some races going asap but we will have to see how much interest we have from racers.
The last track is getting its paint this week, we have 4k feet of braid waiting to get laid.
The tracks were using the old SRT timing system, we have a couple of lapmater systems on the way to replace the old system, the strip has trackmate timing.

They took a lot of measurements, cant wait to see what they come up with.

The left half of the room holds the kingelman and a small oval the right half will hold a future flat track.

No explanation needed come by and check it out

The more they hit the floor, the more parts they buy:)

First track going in is a flat track but not very many turns.

Thanks Marty, Hopefully we will start moving in the first track a week from Saturday.

[tomshaffer]

Here is a link to the tracks. https://www.facebook.com/AmarilloSlotCarRaceway/
The location is on Grand Ave Pkwy.
I hope to have the space ready to move the tracks in by the first of the year.

So we have finally pulled the trigger. We have purchased a 1/4 mile drag strip, 155′ Kingman, an oval and a unseen flat track. We have plenty of work before we will be ready to run, but in the end it will be a 3600 sq ft facility located on Grand Ave Pkwy in Pflugerville.
