Well you've raced on the "Talladega" of R/C tracks a few weeks back at Fingerlakes so it's time to go Short-Trackin at the Pine Bowl R/C Speedway, in Nassau NY for the next stop in the WDRA Tour.
Our humble little 117 foot groove track is carved out of a Pine Tree grove and sits on an aquifer for year-round moisture from the bottom up making for great conditions all day or all night. Last year's race saw TQs being set in round 3 of heats at 3 PM !
Just as we’ve done in the past there will be a race format warm-up on Friday night, track open at 6 PM with racing ($5 per entry) with the Big Show on Sat 8 Aug; track opening at 8 AM, first heat at 12:00 PM.
