I hope to make it out there- I'm putting my 18r together right now.

By the way, are you going to carry Exotek products? I'm looking for the new body-(and maybe the shock towers) for the 18r. I've been to the two hobby shops near my home, and they can't get those parts.

Added more pics from today's on-road/stadium day to the website, along with the oval track we have set up for tomorrow.

how was the turnout today

Pretty good, 15-18 people each day. Not too shabby. Everyone seemed to like the place. I added a couple pics to the website, www.actionrcracing.net

what seemed to be the most popular class over the weekend im still planing on coming up the 2nd with a couple sliders atleast

rob are you handling parts and if so can they be mailed to out of towners?

Slider's, recoils, 1/18th stadium and 1/18th touring were popular last weekend at the sneak peak. Lots of interest in oval racing around here.

Yep we have our first big order of parts coming in early next week, and we will ship anywhere!

Rob > Horizon is stocking our new SC18V2M car kits but limited on parts tires ect. You can still get direct from Us however.
Place is looking nice.

Yeah we want to set up direct with you I think.

We can do that :thumbsup:

Will give you a call tomorrow

Good day of Oval racing today, thanks to all that came out.

Good day of Oval racing today, thanks to all that came out. how many showed up and what classes did you have????

Had 15 or so show up, ran a stock and a mod class. stock had sliders, late models, a mini t and a recoil in it lol. Mod was all Sliders. Hope more turn out in future weeks to run the classes better. But everyone seemed to have fun, that's what counts. I am sure the nice weekend helped keep people from racing as well.

Also updated some info on the website www.actionrcracing.net

Saturday-
On-Road and Stadium Racing: 11 am start time
Doors open at 9 am.

Sunday-
Oval Racing: 1:00 pm start time
Doors open at 9 am.

were planing to be up again on the 23rd or 30th with 2 mod sliders and a stock recoil had a great time sunday loved the pit tables-herbie

yeah it was a good time, working hard to rebuild my one broken car

like to see the recoils - more cars = more equal classes to split up the cars

that way I can run in novice :confused: JK

Good to hear, glad you had a good time.
I ran another simulated race yesterday and I think I have all the bugs worked out of the computer system so it should be a smooth program.

Here's some pics from Sunday:
