Ok, here's another Q!

So, you race OVAL... not suprising, since this IS the Oval Section!~

WHERE do you race?

What type of track?

How Big?

if it's local club racing - How many regular racers are there?


example.

Once a month - I race CLUB RACING at the parking lot of a high school. Number of racers varies between 15 - 25

Once a month - SWTour SERIES race - various tracks, approx 50 racers average.

I mainly race in Terre Haute,IN hobbybarn raceway, about twice a month on average

track size- about 85ft run line, low grip, VERY SHORT!!! like running Bristol

regulars- well that veries, about 12-18 entries

summertime it's the indy velo!! 20-25 entries on the fun runs every month except the nats..

Van Wert RC Raceway in Van Wert, Ohio (flat carpet bullring) gets 45 to 60 entries on a typical Friday night during the indoor season. Both kids and adults attend, lots of fun, great racing, a good spectator crowd and nobody gets too mad. More brushed than brushless, more NiMH than Lipo, no tech and not a lot of rules either.

Wonder why a small town upstairs track (27 steps!!!) in the middle of nowhere can pack 'em in like that on a Friday, while the big tracks in Columbus (now closed) and Cincinnatti seem to have difficulty attracting ten to twenty racers and rarely any kids on a GOOD Saturday?
