Checked the locator and it seems everything is in PA for some reason.I was trying to find the closest possible.A group of friends want to go but they are all to lazy to drive 1hr+.It has always baffled me as to why there is so much property in this county and still no dirt track ,but they can build a giant skateboard park.That old asphalt track in middletown is overgrown and not even being used.Anyone know who I would talk to (city official wise) about possibly changeing that to dirt.

There is a hobby shop in Funkstown called Nextgen RC I think. They are in the process of trying to get a dirt track setup at the Mason Dixon Dragway in Hagerstown. Nothing has been started with that yet though.

If you want to try the dirt oval you should go to Staub's. www.staubbrothers.com It's just 5mi off Rt 15 at Gettysburg on Hanover St (Rt 116). Nice place, nice track. Look at www.dirtoval.com for more info. I drive up there every weekend.

If people are coming here, I am staying here. Forget about the HPI race.... What class is everyone going to run?

I’m planning to go up to The C until August and then HPI race. After that I probably hit the carpet.

Is The C allowed 21.5/Li-Po with 4.3 FDR limits in Trans-Am class?
