1 race averages out to 12 laps. 8 minutes of run time. When you get faster, you should be able to pull out 13 laps from the 6hp red cars and maybe 14 from the 9hp black cars. Of course those numbers drop by a lap or two if there are too many caution lights. I was there on Tuesday evening and will be back on either Friday between 3 and 6pm or after 8pm, but may just wait till Saturday evening. It'll be cold so if you show up, dress warm.
And watch out for cars 2 and 5, they are fast as b@lls but understeer like a b#tch for the 2-3 laps.

Not quite out of business, but I guess they downsized a bit. They are located at 631 Hartford Turnpike in Vernon, it's Cerious Performance - http://www.ceriousperformance.com/. The website address is their old address, but the phone number is still correct. I dropped my wing off there today for sanding and re-clear.

^ No problem. The place is in a residential area, and it seems like they are working out of a garage/barn on his personal property. I was a little surprised, and passed the place the first time because I was looking for something more of an industrial building.

I'll post up what kind of job they do on my wing in a week or two when it's done.

There is also a lady member at the track who used to dirt race the real cars on a national level. She gets her @ss worked weekly. But I'm sure Allison is a much better driver.
