A Test Session has been set for Saturday September 17th.  There will be a lab grade 2 channel Fluke oscilloscope to measure the track power supply output and motor power consumption over the entire 1/4 mile pass on both lanes at the same time.  This will provide real world data.  The track is powered by 3 Astec 1500 watt power supplies, has 2 AWG wire running to 12 power taps on each lane(24 total), continuous braid and a 40ft shut down.  Timing by TrackMate provides Reaction, 60ft, 1/8th. 1000ft, 1/4 mile, E.T., MPH and more.

I would like some fast, power and traction hungry cars to test the limits of the track.  Yes I would like to see how fast we CAN go on this track, but I would also like to see how fast we CAN'T go too.  If we need more power or other enhancements I need real data.

Track record holder will receive free unlimited track time until his/her record is broken.  Records will be for E.T. and MPH  This just started so come down and be the first.

Call the track at 815-933-RACE

Thanks and hope to see you all there,
-Phil
