There is a banked asphalt oval in Lapel, In. They run go carts on Saturdays and are thinking about running 10th sclale rc cars on Sundays. Just thought I'd test the waters to see if you guys would be interested. 1/8 mi.,690' , track, barriers, grandstands, lighting, plenty of power, concessions and pit space. BC

Sure why not. The place Is called Speed Creek Raceway. I raced go-karts there about six or seven years a go. Its located off highway 32

:cool:
Where in Indiana is the track located. Sounds like a good place to race some 1/4 scale too.

Thanks, Dale

Didn't they used to race quarter scales there a few years ago?

Thanks for the location info. Will look in the atlas to see exactly where these towns are located.

Thanks, Dale

Yes, until they moved to Ingals - Home of Jason Crist! In my opinion, It would be MUCH better to try and run 10th scale at the Ingals track. If you contact Rick Gauger he's a part owner - and a reformed 10th scale racer himself ;)

if it was some what of a smooth surface it sounds like a fun place to race at. That goes for either track.

Found it, somewhere between Muncie and Indianapolis. I feel a road trip coming on. Catch some full size racing on Sat night, hit the RC track on Sunday.

Will the track have a website with schedule and such?

Thanks, Dale

That may be an issue for both tracks. I've run a 10th scale car a few times on the Ingals track - but it's been a few years since I've been there. I ran both caps and foams, either would work. As for the Lapel track, even running the 1/4 scales, we only used turns 1 & 2 of the big track, and an access road that ran between the two turns as our 'front stretch'. We never used the entire track.

There is a small oval in turn 1, a chichane in the backstretch, and the big oval. I don't think radios will work through the chicken wire fence. Pictures at www.speedcreek2.com. BC

this what usually happens around here lots of ideas but its hard to get a good turn out in the summer ,the velo turnouts have been real low hopefully with the new promoters it will get better !i would race there all year if our crappy weather would let us!
