Greg

There is a lot of info from some really nice people here.

You are lucky that you found it your second year. I only found this forum a few weeks a go - just before my son's last PWD

Good Luck in all your and your son's future races.

You might try adding some extra foam padding on the start gate to reduce the vibration caused by it snapping open. It wasn't so much the snapping open of the gate as the drag when pushing the lever open. I think maybe a little lube on the rubber end cap may help. I think the foam on the end is a go...

I was thinking of having an open race at a time other than the official pack race. Say during the summer. I also thought of having a Saturday in the Fall before "the season begins" for boy and parent to come in the morning, build a car on-site and race it. I think this might be fun and wou...

Piantedosi 2- Lane 40' Aluminum Freedom Track Well as I stated in the Dissappointed Thread Our track arrived Thursday. Thursday night I assembled start gate. I am glad I took off early Friday to assemble the track. It does take time to get it right. And I still have some comments and questions. 1. T...

so the "old style" was an incline? I take ya'lls expert experience and be glad we have the new style. Iw ould like to say at this point thanks to everyone for allowing me to vent while becoming nervous about the delivery of our track. Also this is one of the most civl and helpful forums I ...

Thanks for the hints Dave. I did not get past putting the start gate together(not becasue of difficulty but time - I didn't get started til 10 PM), which by the way has been changed as of 1-1-06 according to the paperwork. It guess that it does have the new braking system also according to the paper...

That's good news raceman - I hope that Gary's problems are behind him and he can make good on delivery of all ...

We bought the same set up only our track is just two lanes. With the Microwizard the cost was right at $750. Haven't used it yet - It is suppose to be delivered today! Dave - any problems or hints you can tell me about setting up with the K2 ? We are using finish line only - NO computer interface. CC

Or maybe just be his call center!':lol:' We got tracking numbers and it is on its way! Was in Lenexa KS last night and is still scheduled for delivery today! :D Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up at noon today. So I do have to say that Gary is true to his word that he hasn't missed delivery for a ...

K I am sure it will be a fantastic product, but you know the frustration. And it doesn't take much to reply to an email - you don't even have to talk to the person. It doesn't take a great communicator - that's just good business and common etiquette. I just want to know if the product will be here ...

Have you received your track yet?

Provo I feel your pain! :x I am in the same boat. Was told Monday 1/23 that our track shipped last Fri 1/20 and the part they were waiting on shipped Monday UPS 3 day and should all be here by Thursday. I sure hope so. Our Derby is Friday 1/27 also. Hate to spend $500+ and not be able to use the new...
