Greg Katz contacted our team captain, Tom Bowman, and invited us to his home to check out the Katz Spa Ring. I have to tell you it was an awesome privilege. Even the video does not do this track justice. Not only is there a lot of elevation, but it is done extremely well. Eau Rouge looks just like it does on tv. I used to race 1:1, did a little F-2000 road racing, plus FF and FV in Autocross. Racing on this track gave me a rush like I used to get road racing - that is more than I got autocrossing. The track is that good. I was even fascinated just watching the cars go through the various corners. If you ever get a chance to go to San Fran, even if you are not into HO, I highly recommend taking some laps on this. If you are used to HO, especially non-mag, like T-Jets, you will appreciate it more, but even for a 1/32 or 1/24 person, this is something I feel every slot racer should experience at least once. It's a true masterpiece. Hats off to builders Brad Bowman and Jason Boye and, of course, to the late Greg Katz.<br /><br /><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-7a246ceac74e434c" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAHfApvOOOB_WlESfHfM9b03LvxVBpoXbuMcpo9vhZF4P7uD-6tOb4Vrit1k_jdisUEJ0SrSLaukk3vRcsAtZYgJNKRtIXxLOMlUD3bx8Ee08JFjEg_t92HaF-TAMYwm8WYzJDyZzH38KSFnPzPzYPxwn_71scH4bVU29kdDRmJkCedz_lMRFCMb-0rMcdPu1L6EMlOV2NJ9HcSesZAKN6MD01Dcg2bMJruBqCrayVtmf%26sigh%3DePug37wmwjnc6_GXF8rH2pxqQuQ%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&amp;nogvlm=1&amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7a246ceac74e434c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DcePNP9Ktq41D--pqNr_wmH4Iv7s&amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"> <embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAHfApvOOOB_WlESfHfM9b03LvxVBpoXbuMcpo9vhZF4P7uD-6tOb4Vrit1k_jdisUEJ0SrSLaukk3vRcsAtZYgJNKRtIXxLOMlUD3bx8Ee08JFjEg_t92HaF-TAMYwm8WYzJDyZzH38KSFnPzPzYPxwn_71scH4bVU29kdDRmJkCedz_lMRFCMb-0rMcdPu1L6EMlOV2NJ9HcSesZAKN6MD01Dcg2bMJruBqCrayVtmf%26sigh%3DePug37wmwjnc6_GXF8rH2pxqQuQ%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&amp;nogvlm=1&amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7a246ceac74e434c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DcePNP9Ktq41D--pqNr_wmH4Iv7s&amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object> Steve Arendshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16106922348911643306noreply@blogger.com0
