oh sorry my bad....here is a you-tube vid of the track. The surface has been re-done, but the track lay-out is pretty much the same.

I am going to go out to the track tomorrow for track work, I will get some picks then as well.

if you spread out your starting grid there will be less crashes. Looks very cool

the club/track is under new management now, they are staggered starting positions, with less trucks in every race. The track is alot of fun to race on, very loose tho.
