Greg & Tom,
I pretty much have the Rail Racers system ready to go for the fest. I don't
if an area has been layout for the them yet. The drag strip will pretty much
take a space of about 4'x 20', so I don't know if the plan is to keep it in
the "train room" or to just run it down a hallway or something. I will be
supplying all the track and equipment needed to run the races. (include a
few trains for those who don't bring their own racers)
Let me know if there is any other information you need.
