April showers B4.1
been stashing whatever cash i coulfd for a rainy day while waiting for b/s/t access (trying to be patient ) until i went to the lhs tis past thursday. i just couldnt resist a nice factory sealed box , and made a quick rash decision against my better judgement. pretty happy though that i finally have a runner while on the great part hunt. i wish there was a track in the nyc area

Is there really not? I would think with a population like that there would be several. In the burbs anyway. Nice scores BTW.jon burrows wrote:i wish there was a track in the nyc area

Re: April showers B4.1
not only is there no track to race in NYC, there isn't even a hobby shop in manhattan! i did find 2 mini Z tracks, one on staten island and one in the bronx. it also looks like there is a track in da boogie down bronx, which is a good 90 minutes from me. may have just had a business opportunity brewing in my brainTHEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote:Is there really not?

every time i go to a hobby shop and ask if there is a track anywhere around, their response is alway the same; nope!

Re: April showers B4.1
i've never been, i live in ct (grew up in westchester) but have seen the thread on rctech. i can only assume that they are just starting to think about the 2012 season.

not far from manhattan at all, but gunhill is at one corner of NYC, and I'm just about at the other corner , not that I'm complaining. Looks like the closest there is to NYC. Maybe I'll check jersey.

Long Island? I raced a few times at a dirt track on LI, I think on route 110 & carpet somewhere near there too, but I can't remember where. It was almost 20yrs ago...
Sorry, when I said NYC area, I meant the 5 boros, just habbit. I'm on Staten Island.
Re: April showers B4.1
yes long "gisland".
i think there's a place called gilligans out there and long island raceway.
there's also barnstormers in chester ny, a ways from you but still not that far.

Re: April showers B4.1
Thanks for all the track info! I'm going to look into barnstormers too, if I could just convince my wife to take a nice Sunday drive with the kids, and oops, hey look an r/c track! I just happen to have my gear with me
