Default How far do you drive to your track?

Simple question here. Just wondering how far away everyone lives from their track. I was spoiled awhile ago and the my track was like 15-20 mins away. Now the closest nitro off road is 40+ minutes away. It really stinks. I might convert to 1/10 electric now for a closer track...

Local track is about 20min way, both thunder alley and revelation. I'll drive cross country if me a few buddies want to race some big race event.

@ 25 miles for me to the closest, and another @ 35 miles in the other direction. At least for off road. We have an onroad course @ 50 min away as well.

I drive 12 miles (one way) to our local club track (good 1/8th track, no real races). 21 Miles (one way) to NorCal hobbies for 1/10th & 1/8th offroad, 1/10th & 1/12th on road (carpet & asphalt) racing & practice (they also have an oval). Durring the rainy weather I drive 70 miles (one way) to Delta RC for covered 1/10th & 1/8th offroad racing & practice. Pretty lucky right now to have a few places to go.

i did go to my local track that was 5 minutes away but things have not gone well for my local track ,so the track i am going to is about 49 minutes away from my house its called hobby hut, i have been to other tracks in jersey that was about a hour or a little more,i think 2 hours to drive to race is to much for me atleast

The track I race at during the summer on Saturday's is about 30min away. Not to bad compared to how far some have to travel.

15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic, it's also the only track in the area

The two tracks I race at regularly are both are one hour with no traffic and it is at the very edge of what I am willing to drive weekly for a race.
