Paved oval track now under renovation at the Marion County Fairgrounds in Indianapolis Indiana. This track will feature a 258 ft x 180 ft. paved oval, an infield dirt oval, and the track is wide enough to set up an on-road course on the paved oval.
If anybody would like to help out it would be appreciated. Go to our website at rcarassociation.org. We hope to have some racing by the end of May or first of june.
We will run these classes:
-1/10 electric and nitro touring cars
-1/10 indy cars
-1/8th GTP cars
-1/8th open class (serpent, evolvas etc)
-1/10 scale sliders on dirt oval
-stadium trucks (slayer/slash etc) on dirt oval
-1/4 scale nascars and nastrucks
-1/4 scale sprint cars on dirt oval

This place will be awesome when it's done.

We are currently talking to Hobby R/C which is very close to the track (approx 5min.) about supplying the needed parts. In the future we may have a large retail trailer on-site.

By the way, does anybody know anyone that does asphalt sealcoating that would be willing to lend us a hand in exchange for some advertising at the track?

We are making progress on the track! We had some final grading done on the dirt track but some areas were still to wet. Also, renovating the pagoda (scoring tower) is going very well as we are just about ready for paint. As soon as the paved oval is sealcoated the new outer walls will be installed and the huge drivers stand with pits underneath will be assembled and installed. Since it is an outdoor track weather plays a big part in our plans, but hopefully, the dirt track will be open for practice and driver feedback in a week or two.
Visit our website at rcarassociation.org often for updates as we will be having a survey next week on the website so that we can make sure that we are going to meet your needs.

Thanks for so much interest!!

Looks like a great place! I plan on coming out with my 1/4 scale sportsman on July 15th around 5p.m. or so. Has the track seen much action yet? Is practice controlled?

When is the grand opening? Will 1/4 scale sprints be ran on the pavement?
What 1/4 scale classes is scheduled?

I would keep an eye on the website,they are still in the early stages but rapidly moving forward.It was open for practice this past weekend for the first time to the public.I know they are looking to get as much driver feedback as they can right now.

Here's there website:

And here's the busiest thread about the facility on hobbytalk:

The guys that ran there this weekend seemed to be impressed,but I don't think any quarterscale guys showed up with a race being scheduled at Ingalls.
