I just got back from testing at I-96's off road track. WA-HOO! It needs some work, it has had the ground turned over, so it's rough in spots, some jumps need a bit of fine tuning, things like that, but boy, can you haul around that place! There is still some standing water in two places, so I couldn't run every corner at race pace. I think it's too fast to race on, touching wheels could be real bad, but it's a GAS to play on! $25 for a membership, and then $15 per day, so $40 bucks for your first time out. The only bummer is it isn't open on Sunday, just Wednesday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm.

This is a lap of ProtoLite 2 trying out I-96 Speedway's off road park. This only his second lap sp he is taking it easy and skipping some of the jumps. I had to go, so there's no video of him with more experience on the track. This is just to give you guys some idea of the layout.

I'll probably run the 660 Turbo Formula Cross. Should have a gear box next weekend.

Car looks good.

You might want to remove those lights and maybe even mirrors... *

They WILL eventually get torn off if you don't. *Run lights only when you know you're going to need them. *It's good insurance to keep them in working order.

Makes me want to get in the Gen IV and throw some roost!

Why are you letting off on those jumps??? *Hit them!
