Valve cover track update

Because of an issue that has arisen it looks like there will be no valve cover racing at SS this Year. I am not able to put the track together today for a final test fit.. I will be working on it as I have time but with everything else I am working on right now time is pretty slim.

I will update later in the week if I will be bringing the track with me or not, Sorry guys..................Kid

But-but-but-but- I just went out today and bought a larger suitcase to fit my racer and all my clothes in. We can allways raise the jack way up on someones car trailer and have just as much fun with 16 to18 foot track. Really, if we have it, fine, if not, it's no big deal. Keep us posted. Thanks, Lyman.

Bring the pieces. It can be a slickstock project.

I had te track sections standing on their side and they warped a little. I am putting some bracing across at each end to hopfully solve the problem
