Cora plans to post photographs of her visit to the  Genesee County Fairgrounds. Located on Route 5 & 20. East of Batavia Village Limit.

Too bad we don't know anyone who could help out with Arial Photos of the property. 

Smike is making great progress on his BroLite build and inspiring the rest of us to get ours done.

Are any staff/operators included with the track & equipment? Too bad we don't know any qualified equipment operators ;)

Will they build infield obstacles or will we?
Will they remove infield obstacles or will we?

:waves:

bing still shows older Picto imagery. Unless things have changed there recently. I could find out when the last flight was if things aren't on bing now as they are on the ground today.

Not sure about operators... but like you said don't think finding operators will be an issue.

Based on Cora's inital discussion with the track manager. They seem willing to construct INFIELD jumps etc. And might be able to leave them in place.

NO JUMPS OR MODS TO OVAL TRACK SURFACE ALLOWED

Cora mentioned that the current track infield was different from latest Bing images. (Less water I believe?)

Turn 5 might would need a  concrete barrier to prevent runoff into traffic.

are there restrictions on what tires can be run on that track?

seems like rutting in birms into the oval track is what they want not to happen. 


a track like that, how would that be possible to not have that happen?
