Would it be practical for me to come and race seeing as I live in Ypsilanti?

Probably not sense Larry's is a lot closer. Never the less we'd love to see you make the trip some time. Were only about 140 miles from Ypsi.

I just got into the rc scene and am glad to see that there are a few places to race at where I live. I live less than a mile away from Rogers Plaza. Now all I have to do is get me a car that I can bring down there and run around the track
