Cool. Coooooool.
I'm looking forward to "Top Fuel Open" class.. heheheh..
What are the specs for the racing surface? How long, how much space between
lanes, should it be "on the bubble" level, where should the connection wires be
plugged in (is soldering legal) and so on. Or maybe some specs should be left

I look forward to seeing your site workup.
