Nitro is the sportsman of racing. With such a linear powerband, even a chick with turrets can drive it. Plus ur pile is dirty, nobody wants a dirty old car even if it is FREE!!!!

Just because you can't handle the nitro, doesn't make them inferior. Takes skill to keep them going.

My 4 year old son was able to wheel an electric car and even charge the batteries!!!!

That's a good thing. By the time he grows up, those global warming P.O.S will be banned like 2-strokes in California...........

Usually we get the outdoor track up and running by the end of April but it all depends on the weather I will have a full Schedule up in a week or so.

Default Saturday 2/4/12

Our first oval race on the new track this Saturday. Racing starts at 6PM
Looks like the popular classes will be: 1/16 Traxxas, Rj Speed Legends Spec, and 17.5 SC. Also looks like the 1/12 and 1/10 pan can classes will be growing.
