I've been hot water soaking the track since the 10th daily...Speed Force and I are going to cut two 10 1/2' pieces today and attach them to the Drop and the top 6' section while they are laying flat on the floor...hitting it with the hair dryer off and on today. I will then set up the top section and add the transition heading into Widow Maker tomorrow and let it set...we will repeat the process Tuesday thru Friday and have Bootleg Run ready to race on the 20th.
- When I convert Tobacco Road to seamless...I'm going to set the track up about 10 days before the race. — LeagueofSpeed
Drop and Top section now seamless...hit it with the hair dryer thru the week.

I will not have enough seamless for the tunnel section between Widow Maker and Soul Taker...will aquire that when I get the seamless for Tobacco Road...need 8', but will have enough for the bottom section...Soul Taker to the Finish Line.
Bootleg Run was inspired by the early days of running Moonshine in the North Carolina foothills during prohibition and beyond. The roots of NASCAR come from these "Bootleggers" and their supped up cars made for out running G-Men and the local police. This is a 2 lane downhill road course and has a switchback called "The Reapers Switchback"...the first turn is known as "The Widow Maker" and the second as "The Soul Taker"...get through this gauntlet and you just might make your run to the bottom.
...It's Race Week in North Carolina and the Beast known as Bootleg Run beckons and awaits.
Getting the '15 Custom Mustang ready to race...looking forward to the racing!!!
The Southern Utah Crew is in house and ready to take on Bootleg Run!!!
...team photos to come.
Assuming I get them out in time, I'm hoping to send two Dodge Charger drift cars. Is it all right that one of them's the fire chief edition? Both are stock, though I'm hoping to get some graphite in the non-fire chief.
- That's fine...hope they get here...we are not filming until Saturday afternoon — LeagueofSpeed
- I'm sorry to say that I did not get my cars out for this event. :( Have fun with it, though! I hope i can get in on your next one — FOTF
Going to start setting the track up this afternoon...I will set the bracket Saturday after the mail has run to ensure all cars are accounted for and we will start racing late Saturday afternoon...looking like 18-20 teams/36-40 cars...glad people like to race Bootleg Run as it's a unique track for sure.
Top section testing going very well with the seamless track...so much smoother going into Widow Maker.
Sent them this morning in priority mail.
