sweet... what classes do you normally have?

All the classes, both electric and nitro. The biggest classes are 1/8th scale buggy and MT, but the other classes were pretty well represented last year and it's going to be even better this year. The track is getting completely re-done this spring and the facilities will be improved even further. By the middle of this year this will be the premier Off-Road R/C facility in Michigan! The drivers stand will be lengthened to 32', as well as the elevated pit lane. We are also bringing in clay and have some really nice layouts planned. The facilities already include a complete arcade, onsite food sales and one of the largest soda selection in the area!

Cool deal.... I'll be down for some 2 & 4 buggy and hopefully will have an 1/8th e buggy done too....

Getting ready for the season.... 7 more weeks to go until race #1!

Kalamazoo or Otsego/Plainwell would be the best bet for hotels:

On my way, hope we get a good turn out.

I hope all had a good time. The turn-out was a little low, but there was some great racing! The organization was not as good as it should be, but it should be getting better, as the owners are finally starting to get more involved in the organization and they are not familiar with running R/C races.

I would like to have some one telling the us the racers what is going on on the track, so we know there is a race going on. It happened that no one got in trouble but some one came out to practice when a race was running. But it was a good day of racing. now we have a new problem in the wrold of R/C racing more tracks than racers
