Learned today that Larry will be moving the hobby shop and race track near the end of the month.The shop will be nearly twice the size of the old one.He has outgrown it.Track will be a tad smaller.I have heard talk of a rock crawling course. We will have room for roughly 70 pit spaces. Any suggestions would be appreciated....Targeted date for hobby shop will be the 29th....

Also the hobby shop and track will be a half a block away from the (.)(.) bar
WoooooHooooo On a serious note I swung by and looked at the building it is a REALLY nice place.

There's 2 new track threads... Anyway, The new place looks awesome and I really think that it will draw in some new faces, comments and suggestions are always welcome guys!:thumbsup:

Grid girls my friend grid girls.

Grid girls my friend grid girls.
I like the way you think!!!

From what I can remember the girls across the street are pretty rough...lol

How much smaller will the track be? What was the current track size? I'm hoping to get over there starting next month for some track time.

Socko

We will post the size of the track once everything gets moved and set-up. Looking forward to seeing some new faces.

It will be really awesome guys, everything will be fresh and clean unlike the old place which was basically falling down. I'm very excited to get indoors and run some VTA, there's been talk of a cooper class too... Ideas and suggestions always welcome! :thumbsup:

Slots installed a new track barrier, crc clik track. It is really nice. Easy on the cars. It will open up a small track really nice. I think they spent $1,200. Just my two pennies..:wave:

There's been some talk about it but for now I think we will stick with the boards (like slots use to have) until things pick up and we see where we're at.

We do have the CRC heavy duty carpet. We got a good batch too, it is very clean with hardly any fuzz, has been like that since day one, from what I've read we must have got lucky there...

When are you going to start racing at the new track, and is the old track still going. You still running vta on wednesday nights.. Steve and I want to come up and run.. What is the address of the new local..:wave:

Last night was the last night running at the old place. From what I can tell we are gonna try to have the 1st race labor day weekend... That is pending and there's still a lot of work to be done as far as cleaning and moving goes. We will do the best we can to keep everyone posted on the progress and as we get closer to getting ready we will announce the 1st official race date. :cool:

This is the location of the new track and store. I can't wait it is a really nice building with a great location. I will be over tomorrow morning to start working on moving the track.

It's night and day from what we had, it will be so nice.

The plan still on for the move next Sat? If so Kyle and I will be there to help.

Are you still on track for labor day? Will the 9th be the first VTA race? Can I use my amb transponder?? :wave:

Yes on the personal and we will know more after the move on Sat.
Keep and eye out for the updates on here.

I will also post updates on the Indy track threads as we are well within driving distance and our on road program doesn't interfere with Indy slots or HobbyTowns. We welcome new faces as well as some of the ones we have seen in the past to check out the new facility, it will be very nice. :cool:

See you in the morning for the move

I would like to know what kind of turnout have you had for VTA and if you have had anyone racing 1/10 Sliders or F103?. Also what kind of schedule do you have Dates, Times Etc. Thanks.

Dates are still up in the air right now. We hope to be able to start on the track stuff this wkend. The Hobby Shop has to be finished up first though.

Any more news? How are things progressing?

Still waiting to get started on the track but we are hoping to get started soon.

Thanks for the offer Bob just waiting on them to finish up moving the stuff into the Hobby Shop, then we can get the track ready.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. I'm headin' to Lafayette next Tuesday to visit my boy. He and I could help then for instance. We have experience moving a store!

Any news?

Still waiting on being able to work on the track.

Well?:wave:

Stuff is slowly getting moved into the shop opening up the area where the track will evenyually be, it's getting closer anyway...

Any word on how the track will be postioned? Last time I was in, Larry seemed more concerned about having 70 pits spots and a small track. That sounded like a good idea. I offered my opionion but was quickly reminded how I dont know sh!t.

I haven't been in to see whats going on. I am working OT now and no time for anything else.

Hurry up!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
