Visitors to Abbotts Aerodrome will notice some dramatic changes to the tower’s Level 3. Since the tower’s construction, that level has been for offices (in other words, completely useless). Starting today, we are tearing out walls, installing crash barriers, and constructing a shiny new indoor air-race course.
What?? Air races… indoors?? That’s right! Tiny airplanes, each carrying a pilot, will tear around the mini track to beat the clock. Picture indoor mini go-karts that fly. By scaling down the size and speed of the planes, the indoor space feels to the pilots like a full-size race course.
Of course, visitors to the 2008 Relay for Life event will probably remember our tiny racetrack at the Relay’s Flying Aces team build, where we had a little racing oval with tiny biplanes. That worked with great success, and was roughly half the size of Level 3.
Soon I hope to hold weekly races. If those prove popular, we can maybe look at holding a trophy series.
But that’s all blue-sky right now. In the meantime, drop by Abbotts and check out our progress on the Level 3 track.
You should be in the SL Showcase section. Why on earth are you not?!
