The off road track is totaly rebuilt,dirt and lay out! Ive been told it was a a good time to run it. Tires it depends on what your running. Let me know and ill steer you in the right direction.
The dirt oval is one of the best around and you wont get much better!
Just wish the off road track was bigger so 1/8th cars could run... Still waiting for a big local program :rolleyes: .

Mini pins work well on any thing thats hard packed,i ran hole shots on the old track. Is there is more surface dirt i would run losi ifmar pins. PL #92s work well for this also. For front i ran the edge or losi 8 ribs.
Good luck!
Any one who wants to run gas truck pick a day i can make it! NOT sunday or saturdays! Evenings are best! :wave:

heavier rear shock oil,or a pinch less throttle. How does it jump and handle the rough sections is the question? Need more info...

it jumps pretty good, and i like the way it handles in the rough section,i have 30 wt all around.think i should try the green springs up front?

Howdy Guys, down at our track, which is Dirtrunners in Oak Ridge N.J. we have been running Mini-T's on the oval which has a 341ft. centerline. Everyone thought they were going to be boring, but man they are a blast. We run 6 cells and Orion big block motors. We get 12 people to run on the oval every race but only 5 people to run them on our offroad track. You can get info about us at Dirtrunners.com. How far are you from Albany area?
