Track is 40x80, pits for 30 going to 40, vending, 36inch drivers stand and Hobbystore. We have had some good compliments but the only way we are going to get any better is to hear from you!

Weather permitting the dirt should be in and ready in about a month. Waiting on quotes from landscapers and securing the yellow clay from a builder...stay tuned

Interesting..... local dirt track? :devil: I'll be sure to make it out a few times. There are a lot of tracks I want to hit this summer but how can I not race at a track that's 5 minutes away?!































If you build it, they will come. :thumbsup:

I take it you checked it out too. I liked it as well. Nice parts supply, nice building, and it's clean. Mike, you might get me wheeling a 12th scale yet!

You better get that 1/12th scale ordered Mr. Harry Hotbodies....Ben is working on his now. If we can get three or four to start a class...others will follow.

Ah man, SERIOUSLY, let those guys get some wins before you start running carpet too! :thumbsup: But yeah, that's what they're talking about. Looks like AE stole my paint scheme on that one!

haha, dang you said you live 5mins from there, your way far away scott! ya I was just wondering because the pics showed jumps I dont think 1/12th did them so you must remove them? I've heard from a "reliable" source that 1/12th scale is sick fun so I was just wondering.:rolleyes:

RICOTHOMAS
04-14-2008, 03:23 PM
1/12th is sick fun and Scott would find out if he lifted his skirt and bought one. Yes they are running a road course and that is good 1/12th scale but I prefer a CRC car myself. They run offroad carpet that is why you see the jumps but they are movable. The schedule is Sat. is oval and Sunday is off road. Tuesday they run road course but that will change this fall when road course grows. They are also putting in an off road track soon for the summer. Scott, you wish that was your paint scheme;)

There's a good chance I might make some of the sunday offroad races but my work schedule doesn't fit too well for the rest. And about my paint scheme, have you seen it?!

Do you have wheels and tires at the track or do have them at your store to fit a couple of T4's? Also whats a good motor to run on carpet? We are running Novak brushless systems. We have motors from 13.5 all the way up to 6.5. We are interested in maybe trying the offroad carpet. thanks

I know they have the mounted carpet tires that they are selling for the T4 on the rack, I'm not sure how many are left but they were there. And I think the offset wasn't the same as what a T4 should be so you should call first. As for motor, a 13.5 would be plenty. You really won't be able to use any more motor anywhere...... I'm willing to bet that there's no difference in laptimes between stock and mod. I haven't raced there but I stopped by and scoped it out a few times, I plan on running a T4 as well soon.

Yes tires and the like. Your best bet is always to call. 330-629-9433 is the track. Hours are 5 to 10 monday thru Friday, 10 to 10 on sat and 12 to 6 on sunday. Also if they are not available at the track you can always call the store. If they have them we will ship them over for ya!!

Well I work second shift so my mornings are my "RC TIME"... As for this weekend, I've got some friends in from out of town so if I swing by, it'll just be for a little bit. But Sunday I'll be up at Ashtabula. Good luck with the 12th scale race!
