I just tried maps.google.com and it's not bringing up the exact address.

If a person were to take I-90 how would they get to the track from the interstate?

Are there any electric-only times, or will there be nitro possible at all times and the inside of the building will be at outdoor temperatures in the winter.

Sounds neat.

Barnyard,

I should ask also:

scoring system is __________?

Who runs the track -- someone we all know and love, a new face....?

I don't think the original poster is connected with this new track, and she's not picking up PM's here or on other forums she's a member of. I don't think the owner of the track is familiar with RCtech either so we might have to wait until the place opens and some people head out there to get details.

If anyone knows who is running it and/or owns it let them know to check in here and post.

I spoke with SavageChick. She and the track management are new to RCtech.

Bob, I'll see if me and the boys can meet up with you there after our football obligations, being that the track is open until 10pm. Bob, bring one of your T4's I'll bring a few too.

Default More info!

Hey Guys.. Sorry for the slow response, but I posted the info.. then went out and played with my vehicles all night..

Is the owner someone known? The track managers name is Rusty and the owner is not part of any other trackway.

After the open house and we determine who is coming out and what everyone is interested in we will set standard times for different classes for practice and race times.


The track is inside and before it gets too cold, will have some temp control.

The track dirt and limestone. I will be out at i-hobby today and tomorrow, but will post some pics of the track up on Monday.

All suggestions and feedback are welcome. The best way to reach me is [email protected]

Kim
