Click Picture for the Off-Road Layout Drawing

June 29, 2003
The dirt crew spent 12 hours out there cutting down the track, and forming up the jumps and marking off the basic layout of the off road track. Sunday on road racing had a decent turnout with a few guys making the trek over from Austin to race. Off road track will be compacted soon and pipes will be laid down.

Lights are complete and functional on the on-road track. Electricity has been ran to the outlets on the on-road drivers stand. The shop has been completely outfitted with all of their stock.

June 22, 2003

Electricity is up and running on the on-road pit tables. Six 1500 watt halogen lights have been installed around the on-road track with the final wiring being completed early this week. The hobby shop has the inventory on the shelves and on the wall, mostly electric parts but their big off-road 8th scale order is due in very soon. Another veteran racer will be coming out on Friday evening to cut down the off-road track about 6-8 inches and the Lunatic crew will be using that dirt to form up the layout. The goal is to have the off-road track completed sometime on the 29th. The Lunatic crew has been receiving tons of phone calls and visitors from just passing traffic whom have never seen an R/C race and already seem  very interested. This location will definitely bring in a lot of new addicts like ourselves to the hobby.

The on-road track is 100% complete with racers planning on showing up on Saturday for their first run on the track. The off-road track has been graded and more dirt will be brought in tomorrow so that the crew can begin working on the layout. An auger was rented so that they could dig all of the post holes for the cover pit area framing. Compressed air line header was installed on the on-road pit tables. The main air compressor will be located away from the pit area and lines branched off the header will be available for racers to use.

Had the on-road layout completed, just needed to pipe to be tied down. The on-road drivers stand was completed by the time I left and the off-road stand (7 foot tall) was half way done. Tony got all of the dirt prepped on the off-road track for the tractor guy to come in on the next day to put the final grade on it with a box-blade. The main sign has been put in place at the front of the property and already their phone has been ringing off the hook from people inquiring about both the R/C track and the paintball field. There are already a few on-road guys planning on coming out on Wednesday to try out the new asphalt...

June 12, 2003

Lunatic Hobbies has built an off-road track that measures 110'-0" wide by 60'-0" deep and also added a super smooth on-road asphalt track that measures in at 123'-0" wide by 63'-0" deep. Electricity has been ran to the main pit area and they plan to build a covering over all of the pit tables to help shelter us racers from the hot Texas sun. Lights are also planned to be installed around the track for some night time summer racing action. A paintball field will be added behind the off-road track and Lunatic Hobbies will carry many paintball supplies and rental equipment for weekend warriors.
