It is with both sadness and joy, that I announce the closing of Cherokee point. It has served me well for the last 5 years, and has hosted some of the biggest proxy races on our board. The first Pan Am, the R.O.AR., and has been a source of enjoyment for my friends and family. That being said, my grandkids have gotten to a point where they don't need magnet cars anymore, and my new routed wood road course handles all scales just fine, so I am Tearing down the old track to the framework, and putting in another routed wood oval. I have not decided on the number of lanes yet, minimum three, but possibly four. My available racers don't warrant any more than that.
The new track will be re opened under the old Crossroads Speedway name, and will be a representation of the Old South Dirt tracks around my area, set in a vintage era, to compliment my favorite build style. I feel the need to get back into building Jalopy's and sprint cars, and of course more midgets! might even do some early bomber cars. I have the timing system, controllers, and power supply. MDF will be picked up through the week. I need to get paint and tape yet, but those are both local buy's. So look for some upcoming pics of the new track as it progress's.
