Thanks for the help with getting the word out minkis815. We are having an open house Nov 26th. If everything goes as planned I'd like to have the track complete by then. As of today I'm only in the need of being sure the Floor is 100% ready for carpet and a last coat of paint on a few areas. Any questions, fire away. We'll check back here often or you could email or call us. [email protected] or 774-261-8191. Store hours are Mon,Thurs,Fri2pm-9pm Tues, Weds5pm-9pm, Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 12pm-6pm

Turn4 im a avid vintage pan car guy and a member of the vintage site rc10talk and i say vintage races is a great idea we just had the vintage off road nationals down your neck of the woods and now planning a vintage on road nationals. Sound like something you might be doing? Im right in cape cod and would be a big advocate for vintage stuff. Thanks Ryan

i am currently a nitro guy and the only reason im gonna get into electric is for the racing at Turn 4. i dont have an electric car YET but i am looking into it now. the guys at Turn 4 have helped me out alot in getting into and steering me in the right direction of racing. keep up the good work. (And someone buy MACH .26!!!) its at turn 4 now. the sooner i sell it the sooner i get a new electric!!!

Reign79, We would'nt have a problem having a Vintage race, But I'm not so sure that 1/10th cars will work on our on-road layout. We are allways open to racing whatever it may be that the racers want. We're here for you guys to have fun.

Carpet is glued and setting up. we'll be on the track This Thirsday. The track will be set up as Oval for the first couple days as we have racers asking for practice time for the Micro Nationals coming up In CT. Days and Classes will be coming soon. I know of Friday nights to be 1/18th carpet offroad. We do have to use oderless traction compound we will have paragon in stock.

Thanks for the tip. Are you reffering to Paragons ODERLESS compound that is not any good, or it still has a odor? we were looking at the JTG as well. and went with the paragon for the price/oz's factor of things. we use paragon ground effects at our ct track. the oderless stuff is not labeled groundeffects.

Track is up and running. It is still set up in the oval format. I havnt had time with the recent storms we've had in the area to get down to the track and change things around. And with two snow storms coming back to back, it's doubtfull I'll have the track changed brfore the end of the weekend. As I'll be out plowing the snow. SO if your interested in the on-road design stay posted here to the forum and I'll do my best to keep things updated.
