Yea...nothing like an ole' grass infield, lol.....it's really not a track to take a fast car too but it's great for multiple T&T runs. Since we were just shakin it down and making some of the license passes we figured it would be okay. We are not going to be running there at all once things start to get dialed in.

We don't really have a great track within an hour here. The only track with potential (Edgewater) does not take care of the track routinely enough to make it good.

Couple decent 1/8 mile tracks within a couple hours or so and Milan in MI is the preferred 1/4 mile strip, that's 3.5 hours away for me.

Steve Engel (AMS Pro Mod/ADRL racer) is attempting to put in a first class motorsports park within 45 minutes of Cincinnati on 200 acres he bought. He has ran into numerous political issues as you can imagine. He's fighting for it and says he will stay the course. If he does, it's supposed to be 100% concrete and will host ADRL and maybe an AMS Pro Mod race in the future. That should hold our little measley 1000-2000HP radial cars without a problem.

This is true, it's hard not to be better than Edgewater..I have never run there but have heard it depends on what day you go whether or not it's good.

It's a VFN, I think they call it WS9. It integrates the Firehawk vents and WS6 scoops. It has a custom fiberglass extension that brings it closer to the windshield
