The track is a converted hockey rink located in the East Naples Park in Southwest Florida. The track is 70' x 90'. Bathrooms, electric, lights, bleachers,skateboard park, raquetball, tennis, soccer field, softball field, basketball, playground, etc.

We will make classes dependent on what racers have. We are going to start with electric only. But, this will just be for the beginning.

Hello Ginsu,

Just a few of us went out to test the racing surface for traction.

Very nice dry day. As you know we have lights for cool racing at night! :thumbsup:

The Driverstand is all welded,painted and is done thanks to troy, Ken and myself.

Won't be long now before we hold some cool night racing!:thumbsup:

That would be great Rcgen to have here to race!

Were just getting started.
The track size is 90 feet X 70 feet track. Pitting inside the rink around the track.
We will be running On-road as well as Oval too.
We have just about everything to hold a big race. :thumbsup:

Is your track surface concrete?

Is your track surface concrete?
Yes. The surface is concrete that was treated with a sealer. It creates a great racing surface.

Kenzo is RIGHT!

The traction is KILLER..

The new sealer with fine sand mix is the trick. :thumbsup:
