Cost-$10.00 per racer (not class, run as many as you want for $10!)

There is no power available. Quiet generators are allowed. If you can't have a converstation next to it without raising your voice, then it's not quiet. We have to be respectful of the neighbors, if they complain, we loose our track.
Also be sure to bring something for shade such as an EZ Up Canopy, as well as tables and chairs.

Looks like we are a go with the city.

Plans are to start racing in June, on Sundays. Racing will start at 2pm. I will post more details shortly.
Wow! That is a great location! I used to live in the Somerset Apts back in the mid 90s.

When I visit family in the summer I will be sure to bring my RC stuff.

Any idea on what classes to run?
Touring, VTA, and Short Course I am sure will be the bigger classes. Other then that, 4 cars make a class.

That's a good set of classes with good established rules.

Updated the first post with more information.
This Sunday is our first race!
I plan on being there (assuming Mother Nature cooperates...)
Kevin, I knew that!!:tongue: Rex Garcia said he is planning on coming down.

Hmmm... I've seen him turn both left and right, maybe a driver for one of my other cars.
Kevin, just bring the fleet!
Weather looks good for today, can't wait to see everyone at the track. Practice starts at 11:30am, racing starts at 2:00pm. On-road and Off-Road (with jumps) classes.

Thanks to all those that came out. We had a few small bugs but nothing that can't be fixed before this weekends race. Looking forward to less wind as well.

Working hard all this week on an all new track system. PVC did not work well at all. Also will be running a larger track on Sunday. So get your r/c's ready!

Have been working hard on the new boards for the track so we can use the whole 150' x 70' pad! Sunday's weather looks to be a great day for some racing.
VTA Class:

We will follow the USVTA rules for our VTA class, with the exception of a driver figure and you can use any blinky esc. (no boost)

For the full rules, please visit www.USVintageTransAm.com

And remember, visit www.Trick-Parts.com for all of your VTA needs!
Track is all set up, going to be a great day for some racing!
