New TC Track in N Florida , Green Cove Springs
Hi Guys,
New on here but some of the local Indians tell me there are a few people on this sector of the forum who would like to see a TC track in North Florida. Well thats what we are doing>>. see the web site. rc-international-speedways dot com... ( apparently I need to post a few times more before it will let me put URL's in.)
I know its not your beloved Oval BUt it is racing and whne we move to the new venue later in the year I am planning an Oval track there. We are looking at about a minimum of a 50K investment in tracks then.
Currently and for the next few months we will be running the temporary track at the current location daily with Friday race days. There will be a race series and there are sponsors so we will get to a trophy or two at the end of the year.
Don't know how much time I will have to be on here but i'll try and stay about to take Q&A. There is a blog on my site and also of course you can email me from there.
Good , fast and competitive racing .. Cheers Phil..

Phil if you decide on a oval. leave the banking out of it. just lay a nice smooth piece of flat asphalt. that gives the most bang for the buck.
and that flat piece of asphalt work just fine at stricklands

Phil, Daytona is a tri oval, I.E. one of the straights is not straight. Over the years some of the best RC oval tracks in the South East US have been tri-oval. Those being the Sugarbowl in Georgia and King in North Carolina. Good luck and stand your ground, lots of folks will want their idea of what is right. You can not please all and whatever you do don't have folks vote on ideas or rules, it will not work out.
BTW, ignore Katf1sh, he is just a hater!!!!!!!! You'll have to get use to him, his location isn't that far from yours.
Good Luck!

Ron, thanks.... i was wondering about that tri oval bit.. if space works out then that is what we will have... have no fears about rules and ideas..I have been in business for my self since i was 14 yrs old and run several very successful companies , this one going to be the next...... I will do as i please but will look at and consider others input.
If people like that Katf!sh chap dont see a benefit then of course they can go to other places... its not a worry to me.. I do as I say I will and often more..
Phil

Your not going to make many friends like that, you still have to have racers to keep your door open!!! |

news flash "There aren't enough local racers most places to keep (doors) open, that's why Jax is the only permanant track left in FL besides the capped tire track in Branford"
