Mike your hard work and dedication to RC Oval has paid off.
MTR drives as well as it looks. NICE JOB! What more can a racer ask for? There is a on site fully stocked hobby shop, food and friendly racers. Not to mention some of the closest racing around. I hope everyone in Florida or visiting has an opportunity to stop by the track on Sundays and run with us. It does not get much better than this. Thanks, Jeff

Wow! I have never had more fun racing r/c. The smack talk in the pits was top notch. All the guys and the banter got along great. Tin man was pumped up.

The track is beautiful and the color really helps to see your car better. Great job on the surface.

Mike Boylan, you are a gracious host. You and Scarecrow make this event the top in the state.

I'll see you guys on Sunday for the start of the series.


Let the smack talk begin!!

Sounds like alot of racers will be rolling into town to see the new track. Something we have always said...build it and they will come. Well, we didn't build it, but we sure gave it one hell of a facelift! Come on down boys... afterall... don't you want to run on it before the first Focar? We welcome all with open arms.

I'm tellin' ya, Mike. I've never had this much fun racing r/c cars before. Thanks for all your effort. I predict this track growing to be the leader in r/c racing. Already, other tracks are following MTR with video recaps.

Way to be the industries leader!

Can't wait 'til next race.

What makes a great track is the racers and the people running the races.

Great job to Scarecrow and Mike.

Thanks RPM. Racing has been great. Can't wait to welcome some new out-of-towners for our state race. This is one track you have to race at least once in your life. The racing is intense! CLOSE SHORT TRACK at it's best!

Hi RCRACER!!! Not sure if we are calling it or not but it looks like a nasty weekend - it's getting windy and the storm is still a ways away. Please check

RCTHUNDER.NET for the latest race info for local. Indoor would be great. Mini-Z's around the coffee table anyone??
