Is that track finished yet? Last I saw it was still dirt. But I haven't been following progress actively.

We are installing timing towers in the next three weeks... They are paving now... At some point we will be putting video screens over the grandstands too...

Dude..... none of that will be clear plastic..... We use aluminum for the cabinets, and the led modules are mostly a tough polycarb(lexan) made to withstand a good hailstorm...

Oh and a bit of silicone so we can do this...


Or this....

Dig the blue gravel at the bottom of the tank. You should add some fish next time.

Ah, so you've bred fish that are able to live in ionized water. How clever.

Yes, but can they make sharks with laser beams on their heads?

Just how big a battery do you need? Great whites can get to be 25-35 feet long, IIRC.

I'm no expert in lasers, but I suspect it would be a one shot laser.....
