I'm in Athens as well. Nothing out here for R/C . HotShots (1.5 hours away) is your best bet.

I'm not close to Athens, but oval racing is my gig. I have a nice track of my own. It is clay however. I have races once/month March through November. I wish there were more, well any Oval tracks. So far as I know, there is just me and the Peachbowl, which is in Brooks.

I used to go to Athens 3 times a week so it does not bother me. I'm not against going to a new track when I can. Like Aardvark I'm for some oval and onroad. Mostly if you can get a grand opening race to invite the peeps to check it out. My first oval race will be at Aardvarks. I have no choice, he will let out spike strips if I try to veer off I-75 in March.

We are in Athens www.racemugen.com
Loganville R/C is about 35 minutes away, and Lake oconee r/c complex is about 45 minutes away, so there is some r/c in and around Athens

Default oval racing

Easley SC has a nice banked oval that runs every week. The most popular group is eight sec Breakout. They even run 1/4 scale. Its off exit 39 on 85.

That's quite a long way. Atlanta would be closer. Hoping some folks close to Athens want to get something started.

If it gets started I would race there. F1 and something based on a touring car chassis. I'm about 30 min from Athens so no problems getting there.
