Real men run their 4wd sc's on 1/8 tracks.

1/8 nitro buggy is the premiere class. Don't miss out on that.

Do it Monty! I'm staying at your house when I come to race FYI.

Some have asked, will the track be open year round? Will the track be equipped to allow fresh air in if covered?

One of the toughest things we face in the great NW is rain Suck for outdoor RC.... An equestrian setup might work Lets make this happen guys!

1/8 scale buggy ( nitro ) would be fun to race again, have missed it since I quit several years ago.

if an indoor facility were to come into motion. I have 2 big-ish CFM fans at avail. each push around 750 cfm each. 1500CFM total, that's not a lot, but a decent start.

Covered is the way to go, doesn't have to be completely enclosed.
