The track is a solid clay surface (very green) with good bite. Mostly SC and 1/8 buggies, but that will evolve as the crowd grows. Guys that own the track are new "old" RC'ers and screamed "no f@#$*king way!!! A RC10!!!" When my buggy came out, so that was a plus :mrgreen: the track is very basic, but hopefully they will learn to adapt the layout to their experience as time goes on. Ran SC with my 22SCT and stomped all the 1/8 cars....with my B44.1 8) both mains...you would have heard the guys on the stand during the race :lol:

It's also 15min from my house, and the owners live in my neighborhood. Good day!

If my yard was just a little bit bigger, that would solve my gardening issues. :mrgreen:

They've been very open to suggestion regarding the track, they added a large banked corner and allowed me to prep the surface with a little trick I had from the dirt oval days- dropped 4 sec per lap...but was rough on super-soft tires (one pack)

but I tested JCon blues out with decent wear (4-6 packs) and am testing JCon oranges (high temp) out Fri afternoon- we are also adding a six-pack into the infield plus a middle jump to the back double (all the 1/8 cars overjump it, and most 1/10th short it)

Also 4 guys just bought B4.2's in the area-
