Right now 1/8th scale gas RC (buggy) is the most popular RC class in the WORLD. for a reason. The cars are quite forgiving to drive v.s. 1/10th scale, and dont break as easily. A 1/10th scale driver is going to spend A LOT less on average per year in your RC facility. If you need to make the big bucks, you need to cater to the big crowd. As I agree ARC will be incredibly great and close, I am optomistic that a very large 1/8th scale "scene" can exist in both SD and Temecula.
Just my 2 cents

Now, he's talking about having 1/10 On-road AND off-road. Not just off-road. So you're talking about a bigger spread of racers (other than just 1/8 nitro) with money to spend. Thats twice as many opportunities to have bigger races that can attract crowds as well. Then theres the hassle of seperating practice days up for nitro and electric. I can guarantee that business will be lost if nitro and electric are run together indoors. And thats if he can even actually get permitted to have nitro indoors. Nitro fumes are bad enough outdoors, they will be horrible indoors (I still dont think fans are enough) Oh, and theres having opened bottles of fuel during racing at indoor facility.....fire marshalls would have a field day with that. And what are the guys that like to smoke while refueling cars going to do (and why are they dumb enough to do that?) ?
They cant smoke indoors, so they'll have to take breaks outside.Thats my .02 take it for whats its worth, cause I dont know anything.

I didn't point any fingers at anyone you f...king retards. Read my post again and tell me where I said FHR sucks, there pits suck, there track sucks, there driver stand sucks. I implied that it would be nice to have a track with nice pits and drivers stand. I never said anything about FHR except that he shouldn't be worried about them as a competitor, its life, deal with it.

Rev,
We need a NICE track in san diego as we don't have one. Business is business don't worry about who you steal from FHR, thats life. If your already worried about hurting your competitors you have the wrong mind set. we need a nice track with a nice driver stand and pits.

Hmmm, you pretty much said that FHR sucks without actually saying it. You said that we dont have a nice track in SD. Which to me, means you think FHR isnt a nice track.

Again, this implies that FHR's pits and drivers stand sucks......
You want a track with nice pits and a nice drivers stand, which means you dont like what they have and think that theirs sucks. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that calling us F***ING retards was pretty unecessary

I haven't seen the org. poster on this thread for awhile. I was just wondering how everything is going. If he got the keys? If he did, can he post some pic's of how everything is going?

I was actually thinking the same thing Martin....he said he was supposed to get the keys on the 15th, soooooooo. 
We'll see. Maybe he's getting scared with all this "talk" going on.....worried that he'll make the wrong choice? Hope not. SD could use more racing opportunities to utilize.

don't mind the haters
Hey RevDupraRaceway- Don't mind the haters, this would be nice for SD, all the negativity will go out the door once the first race starts. I've been wanting something like this to come to SD, kind of like the track that was in Huntington Beach. Props to You.

Best of Luck to you.

p.s. all you haters keep you comments to yourself. This would be another choice for SD racers to race at.

sorry for the delay in posting i was out of town for a few days on family issues ... took some pictures of the space and they will be posted later in the day... i am working with an indavidual on the forums here who has brought me alot of insite that will help the track be a bit more successful.
first notion is that the space has ample room for 10 scale on-road and off-road... but in order to run an 8th scale i need to use he entire building...with that being said my main focus has changed.
we will be catering to the 10th and 18th scale crowd ut i will not alienate the 8th guys and gals if you want to come out and practice to prep for a race so be it and if there are enough of yo that are willing to race on a smaller track then we will hold dedicated races for the class .... as for now the offer is still up in the air and i look to have the keys by the 15th of march. open date may be delayed because of the asphalt that needs to be layed but as for now im right on schedule.
