Video Transcript

"Robbie for expert village, track ownership and running on a track it's actually taken very serious. You have people that will travel all over the state in fact all over the country to race on these RC tracks. So the owners of the tracks really try to take as much pride, put as much effort into the tracks so we can, to make it fun for the racers. So we'll design them in such a way where course, they drain but its challenging, interesting, keeps the drivers on their toes but at the same time allows newer folks to be able to come out and drive it as while. So in order to do that we spend a lot of time going over the tracks so was if we build them then there's preparation of filling the holes. Its off-roads so it's ok for them to be rough but you don't necessarily want your track to get all blown out, holes all over the place, the faces of the jumps will carve out. These cars traveling through there especially the 8 scale buggies some of the trucks their pretty destructive. Those tires are turning and their literally just gouging and cutting the track up. So we spend time coming in behind them filling the holes. If you get holes in the wrong place it actually becomes dangerous, too much of a challenge for the drivers. So we'll water it, one to provide traction, two to keep the dust down and three keeping the track wet at least in the case of our track actually helps maintain the track. So as the cars pass over, their tires actually kind of grade or smooth the track out."
