Raceway Hobbies has recently moved to a new larger location
103 Ducth Hollow Rd. Smithton, Pa 15479.

We have a 24' x 40' indoor carpet (ozite) track & we plan to start racing this fall. Also there is an indoor rock crawling area.

I wanna run Team Losi mini late models stock, stock (4 cell 27T) nascar oval, stock (4 cell 27T) vintage road course, and whatever other classes guys would like to run. We have an AMB transponder system & personal transponders are welcome!

Feel free to stop out & turn some practice laps anytime :thumbsup:

Store hours are M-F 11-7, Sat 10-6, closed Sun (racing outdoors)
If you have any questions feel free to give me a call @ (724) 872-3225.

Here are a few pics of the track:

Track looks good. I love the bull rings. It looks like a good 17.5 brushless track. As kaug mentioned you may want to start a thread in the Oval Track Discussion area of Hobbytalk also. I am planning to stop by and checking it out. Keep us posted on the details. Thanks. Bob

I plan on racing road course & oval :thumbsup:

We race every sunday, weather permitting, on our track at Smithton Raceway(formally known as Smithton Hole) We are changing the track and making it larger this Saturday & will be racing this Sunday.

I hope your going to run Oval & Road on different days. That's one of the reason's
Steel City Hobbies is an empty building now. Guys don't want to stand around for hours doing nothing.

If we get enough people where that becomes a problem. I have nothing against racing oval & on-road on different days :thumbsup:

JW - Yeah, that would be fun! As of now, I'm still retired - of course, so is Brett Favre.

Thanks for the kind words.
