I know what you mean. In So Cal, tracks and RC racing is EVERYWHERE!

I may be relocating to Georgia as well. Augusta, to be exact. Hopefully, there will be some good racing at least within an hour's drive.

1/10 scale electric 4wd mod and 2wd buggy?
1/10 onroad touring car, 1/12 onroad pan car?

correction we are moving the hobby shop today, hope to be open wendsday at the latest (I'm optomistic for tommarow) track will start running in 2-3 weeks depending on how fast work gets done this week. Were closed this weekend for Logansville anyway.

Onroad racing the ONLY option is Marrietta GA unless your willing to drive very south or very north. 1/10th touring car is slowly dieing in the area though. They normaly have a decent turnout for 1/12th scale though.

Electric buggy your best bet is our track (Turtle Trax) were the only 1/10th scale electric only track in GA. Everything else is designed around 1/8th gas buggy. However Loganville has an excellent compromise track. fun for 1/8th buggy but you can get a 1/10th electric buggy around it fine as well there helping us grow the electric scene but dont always have a good electric turnout for buggy. Generaly there SCT class is plentiful though. 4wd mod buggy isn't really running strong but there is a group trying to bring it back for the indoor track. I'm hoping it picks up because I tried to get the class going last year but sold both my B44's when I lost hope a couple months ago before we planned the move.

DoubleCut,

Welcome to the Heart of Georgia...where you're two hours from anything and everything! We used to have a great track here in Warner Robins at the Houston Co. Fairgrounds but had to close it about two years ago. As has been mentioned, there are a number of really good tracks throughout the state so it more or less depends what your racing. My favorite is VRP. It's is the closest track to Warner Robins at about an hour and fifteen minutes North on I-75 and offers a Dirt Oval, Bump & Jump, and indoor racing.

There are a few of us locally that race in the GCS series. Two of us work at the AFB and two work off base. Your more than welcome to join us to the next GCS race in September (McDonough), and October in Savannah if you'd like. We can provide good directions. Hope to meet you sometime.

what classes do you run?

OK, I want to purchase a kit this weekend, but I want to purchase from a brick & mortar business, not from an online business...

Maybe a Blitz or a SC10...

Where can I go, remember I still here in Warner Robins...

Turtle Trax in Cartersville has two SC10s in stock, I'm sure there are others closer to you that will also and I'd wait for one of them to chime in to their location

I met some racer's here at RAFB and they said there was a hobby shop up in Stockbridge, does anyone know the the name and address of this hobby shop?

Thx, R_

The closest brick and mortar is probably VRP raceway and Hobbies located in Brooks Ga. They have just about anything a racer could need plus you can check out their multiple tracks.

Very cool place. Great people too.
