We have got a place to race in Tuscaloosa locked down this week and will be ordering carpet next week. Hope to have it setup for some practice rounds by Thanksgiving. Thanks

The layout of the track will be 20x40 for onroad and 16x40 for oval. This is a little smaller than planned but it will have to do until we can afford a bigger place.

We will be setting up the oval first and see how it goes. Brp cars will be the feature but will run any 1/18 scale car that wants to run. There are 3-4 of the Losi late models that I know will show. More info coming soon!

Mike -- we are going to need some pinions!

What are you guys going to run for a motor battery/combo?

Scott- we are going to try the slot car motor and batteries y'all use or bump up to the Associated 370 closed endbell motor. Going to keep it as cheap as possible. Most of us will be racing Lakeland too so the less stuff to buy the better.


Thanks

I think you will find that it is a great system. Perfect for our type of racing. Now download that free lapcounting software and you are good to go!

We should have at least 5 from Ttown show up. May get a few out of towners so it should be a good day of testing to get ready for next year.

Not yet but will have it by end month. Any requested days and times for anyone wanting to race this winter would be great and I will try and go by that. Thanks and hope to see you at the next one.

Hey guys, my name is Cameron. I'm a sophomore at UA and I'm looking to get back into R/C's. I used to bash and occasionally race a Revo up in North Alabama, and I'm looking for something on the college student budget. It's looking like this is a perfect place for me.

I haven't gotten a car yet, but I have been looking. If I got an Associated RC18R would there be people to run with? If not, what would be another option?

I don't have anything to do Wednesday(9th), would anyone be at the place? I'd like to check it out before I head back home for Christmas break, but I will most likely come back to TTown ready to race, or at least almost ready to.

Your best bang for the buck is the car by BRP.

Here is a video of the racing we do at LakeLand Speedway in Hueytown.
