There is a new 1/18 track opening soon here in Ct. Called Drive Raceway! The plan now is to be Running only BRP cars in the Stock class. But they will have an Open Mod class as well. Still collecting and getting new racers and moving forward quickly. As of right now it will be opening in the month of October. There will be a full Hobby store at the track as well as an online ebay Store. There is plans to have some trophie races and maybe a Money race if there is interest in having one. But it will be a regular Sat club racing.
I have known the owners for more than 25 years. He has been into RC for 20 years or more. He has a great grasp on the RC racers wants and dis-wants Which is why things should go well for the track. Here is A link check it out http://www.driverchobbies.com/forum/index.php There is more info on thier forum. Should be an awsome track and AWSOME Fun!!
