Posting this for a new track that is up and running. Good dirt,nice drivers stand,very nice track owners,AMB scoring w/RC Pro software, with a laid back atmosphere. He wants to do anything it takes to make it a great place to race. They do not have a website yet. I have run there a few weeks now and the more I have helped them, the better they are getting. Dave Erdeley and kids came over last week and really gave them some ideas and help also. We will be getting pit lane put up this week, as long as weather permits. I am not sure about electric supply as I bring my generator. He will run any class as long as there is enough. Race fee is only $5.00 and $3.00 for each additional. When I first went there the track was too fast and with the changes they made today it is probably going to be a 11 lap track or less. I think the straightaway is 120-130ft. He is willing to listen to any suggestions people are willing to give him. They race every Saturday, weather permitting. Starting time was noon, then he had some locals who wanted to start later. But, if he gets a big enough turnout, he is going to have to start around noon again, I would say.Here is his name and address. He would like to invite all to come out and have a good time.

All new track layout at RC Experience in Rochester,IN. Brian leveled the entire thing and there is no part not used anymore. All the grass he had in sections to make it look nice, gone. Nothing but dirt. I tested tonight with Tyler's X2 and the lap times went from 22-23sec to 37-39sec laps. He added over 200' of race line by using the entire area. We also tested the new RC Pro system,he got a L.E.D sign to show race progress,lowered the the railing on drivers stand, and mixed the clay in with some of the dirt he already had. He has to make a couple minor tweaks to the track for the weekend and it will be a blast.This track is awesome for 2wd gas trucks too. Good traction and low tire wear. They are working to get a website up. For a beginning track, done with their own money, I think there is great potential for the future.Brian, wants everyone to have a great place to race. If you are interested give him a call-574-835-1347. Racing on Saturdays at 3:00, practice around noon. $10.00 entry and I think $5.00 additional class.Address: 1987 W 50 N Rochester,IN 46975There are still more upgrades to come guys. He likes all the input racers will give him. Good or Bad.

It would be nice if they could get a State race next year. I think that is the owners goal for next year. They are working hard to give everyone a great place to race. You guys are a premiere track. Keep up the great work.

It looks like it will be about a hour drive for me (that is a little far for local racing).

What would be a really good track for the north central IN, would be a good sized indoor clay track, and maybe have an out door track closer to south bend (there is an outdoor track in Niles, MI that is mostly electric based though).

For me right now, yes (it's not that far, but it is on the edge of how far I can go at this time).
