Dude, CT has plenty of tracks right now. The ratio of tracks per square mileage in CT is probably among one of the highest in the Country. Support the tracks that are already in business and doing a great job of providing great places to enjoy racing RC.

Many tracks have rentals and this way you can try it out and if you like it you get into it. A great way to make money and have more people join the hobby.

This is where im getting at. Do you see how many young kids are in the hobby? That means that somehow they are getting into the hobby and one kf those reasons are check ling out the tracks or driving a hobby RC Car for the first time.
how about this, try actually racing somewhere where you can be an real suporter and an asset to the r/c community instead of shooting random ideas from behind the keyboard. u are surrounded by awesome tracks!! be grateful you live near so many r/c resources and utilize them

In many cases you can tell a lot about who someone supports by their signature. If someone supports a company 2000 miles away, what's that tell you their local interest.
And yes I have heard that CT has more tracks per capita than any other state. I believe there are at least 4 in New Haven county/ Waterbury area alone.

Dude, i am gonna see what happens. But i race more than you can imagine. Maybe not at the track you go to Wolcott and RC Madness because i am just starting racing 1/8 nitro and before i didnt need to go to an offroad track for 1/8 so ill be going now. And i only go to madness occasionally because it far from me.

Thats all! So...

Giovanni, Just go ahead and rent the space, get the electricity, sewer, water, insurance, zoning approvals, have materials trucked in (don't forget the clay from Motorama), get a timing system, build the drivers stand and safety fencing. It's just that easy. Did I forget anything guys?
Then just start racing. Don't forget the you have to run the race now, instead of actually being there to just race, and keep the track in good condition. Don't worry about stocking anything, just have wifi available so your customers can order online. Don't forget to have fun!
