New Track Opening This Spring. Oval Track And Off Road For 1/8 And 1/5 Rc. The Track Will Not Be That Smooth For Mini Cars Like 1/10.
Beside The Fg And Hpi 5b And 5t Cost Less Run Longer And Work On Them Less And They Cost Less Than 1/10 Cars. Got The Wood For The Drivers Stand Just Need To Put It Together. 2 Weeks After The Weather Breaks We Will Be Racing. Maybe Before. Just Might Not Have The Drivers Stand Complete. If You Want To Run The Big Boys Remember This Track In Warren Ohio.

Looks Like Snow Field Right Now. I Will Have Some This Spring. It Is For 1/5 And 1/4 Sprints And Off Road Large Scale. 1/10 Will Never Run It. Not That Smooth For Them And The Oval Is Very Big Around 500 Foot The Off Road Will Be As Big As I Can See The Car. You Make It To Big Then You Do Not Know Where The Car Is At Beside Another Car. It Will Be Big Enough. Guessing 1000+ Off Road. 300 Foot Straight. I Want To Run The T5 Hpi Trucks. They Have Conversions Out For The 5b Bug. Around 200.00 Tires And Wheels Plus Body And Posts. Pro Line Makes It.

Here We Go. The Track Is Complete. I Will Try To Get A Picture Of It. Howard Suggested A European Stye Track So Thats How We Are Starting. It Will Be A 1/8 Maybe Slash With Large Tires And Mainly A 1/5 Sized Track. There Is No Way A 1/10 Will Run This Track,,,,,,,,,,

Not This Week..... But Maybe Following Week I Will See If I Get The Counter Ready And Running And Have A Test Race. I Will Let You Know Next Week How It Goes.

If The Races Like The Track Then We Will Continue To Make The Track Better With Each Race.

If I Can Not Make The 21st It Will Be The 28th
I Have Enough Room To Make What Ever Type Of Track I Want.

Just To Let You Know It Will Be On Really Short Cut Grass. This Will Keep The Dust Away And Help Not Break Parts On The Cars.

Like I Said It Is A Test To See How It Goes.

I Have Lots Of Room For Parking.

Bring Your Own Popups And Tables. I Will Have A Place To Connect Your Extension Cord For Charging Bats.

The Tracks Name Will Be ( Ecotrack )

If You Have Questions Send Them.

no pics yet. hard to get pics in the rain.

but so far i think the grass euro type track will be cool. no mud andlots of bite.

i am setting up the counter and seeing if it works this week, if all is good sunday wil be test day. i will let you know firday if lap counter is working.

track is 2.5 miles west of mesquito lake and 2 miles east of state route 45 on state route 305. should be able to google and see the golf course, the track will be close to the road. 650 foot run line. 200+ front straight with long sweeping turns at the end, into a tight turn and then S turns into tight right hand turn up the hill into a sweepinging turn down the hill into a really tight right hander 30 foot str left onto big left hand sweep and down the 200+ foot straight. speed and turns. some other things coming if i get the racers. this is just a start.

with the grass track i can modify the track at any time make it bigger or tighter. it is a race track not a jumper track, but it has caracter it is not flat by any means. bring your best digging tires you have, spikes work really good. the grass is only 1/2".

that 650 foot run line is made for the big boys 1/8 and 1/5 cars and trucks. i like the 1/5 hpi truck, i am converting my buggy over to truck.

once we get going i am going to run classes together and sort them out at the end. 1/8 and 1/5 are pretty close. we will see who is the faster of the 2.

i do not know if a slash will run on the track i do not have one so i do not know.

if it is run by gas or nitro bring it. i may have to make the silenced pipe law. it is to loud i will stop it from running. so do not get the loud pipes out. silenced pipes will be ok.

lator.
