Not intending on stepping into you boys' sandbox - but one thing I don't see being addressed (maybe you already have and just haven't said) is what sort/scale of vehicles you plan on running. On-road, off-road, 1/10th, TCs, etc.
I'm sure all of you do some sort of outdoor racing during the summer months, but what I'm suggesting you consider is just HOW MUCH stuff and room it takes to run indoors - not only the materials, carpet, boards, obsticles, etc. - but the area needed (including pits) as well as the manpower needed to take it up and down.
So anyway, before getting over your heads, and just to throw something out there - have you considered mini's? I know, I know, I know, I've heard it all so you don't need to say it, the reason I'm mentioning it is because the area as well as the materials needed are small in comparison - and, in addition, you can save all your larger outdoors stuff and that way it saves a race season of wear and tear, as well as mini's/micro's being much cheaper to run.
.....just a thought, and 2-cents worth to consider

My only intent was to point out that 1/18th racing takes up an inordinantly lesser amount of space than's needed for 1/10th -- seeing as you guys are apparently new at this, that and I've been running an active indoor winter program for a number of years. I was just trying to help.
I don't know why some people have to get so damn defensive and angry about a simple comment intended to do more than offer some simple advice to a group that was apparently doing a startup operation......
......as I said initially, "sorry for stepping in your sandbox" - I'll take my cars and ideas and slink away now.

We might be new at this but we have lsrcc as a teacher. I'm going to call dan vessel after this weekend and pick his brain for hours.
We are open to ideas but a mini only program is already in place at mmr. We need to get sedans rolling around here again. I know a lot of people around here have sedans that they want to run. We just never had the square footage to really open them up.
I really want to see a foam stadium truck class take off around here. I think that would be a blast

Buddy do you even live in MN.
Do you know who you are talking too--No.
This post by a group of people that have been involved with several tracks, ect........and are looking to transition from the RC Barn to a winter club racing series. Some of these guys posting also happened to have been involved with hosting the ROAR carpet championship and running that track.
Please go away.

Friendly group of boys you've got there, great elitist attitude that works well for attracting and keeping racers, or attracting sponsors......... good luck !
