Decent Friday at the race track

[jbrowning]

So I took some things to the race track this past Friday to display and get feed back on, along with some items to sand down to stain this next weekend. At was a decent Friday. I sold all of the HighPlains Raceway tracks (pieces at the upper left side of the picture) and 4 PMP tracks. I also have pre-orders and was paid for all three tracks when I get the third one designed. I think I came home with about $200.00 for the woodworking. It was a pretty good day and folks also asked me if I will be offering anything else for next season.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. It seems I finally came up with a good idea that the racers like, so I'm pretty happy with it. Luckily this was the last race weekend of the season. So now I have time to get some inventory built up over the winter to start next season with. I'm looking at offering both the plywood version and then I want to do some on solid hard wood like oak versions. When I spoke to some of the racers about this they said they would be very interested in the solid wood versions also, even with them being a higher price. So I guess over the winter I need to figure out out to glue some solid wood together and see how they look.

I'm also planning on taking some jigsaw puzzles to the first round made out of the race pictures from this season. I hope that works also.

Thanks
Jim
