Re: Tracks around NYC???
Do you guys know of any small power sources I could put on a rack on the back of my bike? I don't know anything about power sources other than the old school ones that were hooked up to a car battery. If I could find something portable and not to expensive I'd be set.

Yes, a portable battery charger. Fully charged it should do the trick to charge and trickle etc.. ( Hope that was what you meant it for
)

Re: Tracks around NYC???
Remember those bike lights that used a little generator on the back tire to power the lights? You could hook something like that up to a rack-mounted charger, and Bingo! you never have to fight for a power socket at a race again!
Of course, you'd have to explain to everyone why you have to jump on your bike and ride around between each heat![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Tracks around NYC???
Nah, it sort of died there. I took a new job about that time (in NJ) and between the new job, commute and kids getting older/busier, I fell off the RC radar myself. Never completely stopped, but cut way back until the last year or so.
I did find the off-road track out in Farmingdale (Island Raceway - they have a website now), and have taken cars out there a few times.
Where are you located?

Re: Tracks around NYC???
I recently moved and would be able to drive to Farmingdale to check out the track one of these days. Are you running anything now? I would like t start.

RCHR (my personal favorite track in waterbury) runs club races on saturdays, and wednesday evenings.
saturday doors open @ 10am, racing starts 3pm.
wednesday doors open @ 5pm, racing starts 7pm.
when they have tropy races they usually hold them on sundays.
you'll often find vintage 2wds in the 17.5 buggy class.
open 2wd buggy
4wd buggy is a crazy fast class.
and then the usuall short course classes, 17.5 2wd and open 4wd.
no problem holding hands.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
