    Thanks Ryno and all, I failed to post the completed tower,

    March 13, 2008 and the Werst crew is about too put the last panel in and thus finish the exterior.

    We have a long way to go on the interior. But it should be functional by mid May.

    Y'all are gonna get spoiled. A/C, probably a mini fridge...I wouldn't be shocked if there was a satelite dish on top of it by the time we get there. :D

    silly question- after the power outage last year, is there gonna be a generator for the track? (not to keep racing in tornadic storms...only an idiot like me would do that, but so folks can see a bit better on thier way out of the track.)

    I wonder what a capable generator would cost?

    Was that last year or the year before the lights went out?

    I'd like to have ALL the lights on a generator. But don't see it happening between now and then. Heartland Rural Electric has assured me they have done some improvements on our section of their grid, and we shouldn't loose power everytime the wind blows.

    Heck, we'll be doing good to finish it in a month. Today I finished the rough-in of the interior walls. Wiring starts next week. Need to insulate it after that and then call in the dry wall guys. Then the big task of moving the timing system wires over. The more I think about it the less I want to do.. :D
