The track at Taroda is always there on weekdays and weekends. The track is removed once in a while when the management of East Coast organises events there...i personally prefer Taroda because of the convenient shops nearby and there is more people there to play with and to help you in R/C than PA campsite...i think...

taroda is not at the playground@bigsplash and its over at the Mcdonnal there.

goggle all the track and look for the the video and picture of each track and you judge yourself. Its you should have fun, not others have fun but not you.

Yep.

I don't see BK's track at RCI getting much props here. It's further away than PA and Taroda, but I like it there because the track surface is great, the users are friendly, down to earth, and RCI stocks products that are to my 'taste'.

Despite what people say about PA being both EP n GP, almost all users of the PA track run GP cars. If you're one of the only EP people there, you'll be very very lonely...

And come on, Taroda is a small drift track. It's too tight and narrow for regular grip driving. And the techno music that sometimes plays over the sound system is annoying, to me at least.

Hi Ham,

I'm sure no one will take offence to your small comment. (fingers crossed)

Have you watched American's race? Ovals? Indy, Cart, Stock Cars etc...
Its plain and simple, An Oval. But it sure has got its own specific challenges.
I don't truly enjoy watching ovals either, but it does give drivers/engineers/teams an arena to compete and prove themselves on.
Same goes for Drag racing and Drifting.

And thats the focus of Taroda Racing. It gives another location for enthusiasts to gather and have fun. They hold races for guys to challenge the clock. People at Taroda can offer technical assistance and spares availbility, which is what most beginners need, the most. All these at the convenience of food and beverage, sheltered pits and electrical outlets. Not to mention that there are almost always people playing there, till late!

I must say that Taroda is a great place for a beginner to be at.
To be fair, the track doesn't offer high speed and fast sweepers, but it does test all the basics of race car driving and engineering.
Remember: With high speed comes high wear, high maintenance, and high dollars. You can't change the laws of physics.

Have you youtube(d) the other tracks as well? Tried "Race Craft Infinity","Turf City RC"..etc ?

Cheers.
