Stumbled on a track at a local park

Took my hornet and stampede out for a run. In my excitement that theres an RC track that I dont have to pay (im not serious enough to pay $30 a day, hobbytown) to use, I didnt get any pics of the track but did get these two. Ran one pack on the hornet (which consisted mostly of flipping over on jumps) and 2 packs on my beloved stampede. Casualties included a rear body post on the Hornet and a front arm screw pin on the stampede. For those interested, the park is Meldrum Bar near Oregon City. I've apparently been driving past this park for 10 years without knowing that theres an rc track at the very back corner.

Meldrum is cool. There's also a track up at Orchards Park in Vancouver, just off SR500 / Fourth Plain. Although I haven't been up there recently and don't know if it's maintained as well as Meldrum.

Might have to take a trip over to Vancouver! Looks like a cool track.
