Default Bowman upgrades

I would like to thank the owner of Bowman for for the upgrade that he is doing to the track. Yesterday was my first time there since the track return road was pave. I know the track wasn't open for 5 year and it take money to get all the stuff that some racer want done but when you show progress their isn't much your racers can say. I just want to say thanks for providing us racer and fan for a safe place to hang out and race.

the return road goes all the way back the line up concrete area'
mr ronald has done a great job of building up bowman as one of the best 1/8 mile tracks in the state'' i enjoy going there every time i go and i tell all the people i know to come too'
if we keep the crowds up then he will have the funds to do other things for the track'

Track dimensions are the same. Return road is paved from start to finish.

all i can say then is use a stop watch with someone standing at the 330. track works well and i doubt you will say many, if any, on radials getting out of shape to worry about the narrow track
