Evolution of a modular track design
Member Stephen in Scotland has continued work on his modular track design. Check out how it has evolved from a few IKEA end tables to include some modeling and more. It's a great build journal to be following.

Charger Summer is here! The green flag drops in only a couple weeks and all the Dodges are starting to arrive at the starting line. Check the entries and get ready for a summer-long battle of the best.
Then just a week later, the RLD Racing League continues with the May and June races. There are still some spots open in this race but you better act quick to get your cars there on time.
And it's not to early to talk about an action-packed July schedule that includes the Poppa Speed Invitational, the Rust Belt Lightweight Rally, and the Westfield 500.
