Default Back Yard Track in Central PA.

Hey guys whats up! My name is Cody and I got a Traxxas Slash 4x4. I also got a few tracks you guys might want to see. I came here trying to get feed back on my tracks and see if people would even want to drive them.I also have another track that is in the making for 1:10 and up! These tracks pictured are mostly 1:10 and smaller scales. I do not have the fancy eqiupment or anything this was all made with a shovel and wheelboro. I also do not have a drivers stand or pit area as it is only me and 2 other guys that drive these track on a daily basis. I have a youtube with some go pro laps on it too. But let me know what you guys think. Also the track is called DT Speedpark!


Youtube name= 327DARR

Yes interested in how you define Central PA as I have seen Lancaster and York called Central PA and I laugh.

Conceptually I like it but the lanes are too narrow if you want to have racing.

Im located right outside of Harrisburg in Carlisle. I really dont know how to define central PA either lol. But thanks for the feed back. I figured it would be to narrow for some people. I only allow 4 man Main events on it right now. We have not had more than 5 people on it and that is the most i will allow it gets to crazy lol. I pretty much use this as a test track you can say haha it really test your skills. I dont really have any plans with having organized races, I just wanted to know if people would be interested in just coming out and driving it lol. I have a few more updates! I will post pics later. I also am building a 3rd track that is a ton wider so I hope this rain stops and I can get to finish it up!!

The offroad ones looks pretty fun. A very nice place for you to mess around at thats for sure. Looks like with a few guys and more help you could really make them even nicer than you already have them. Look really nice for the 4x4 Slash type trucks.

haha thanks man! Yea I got lucky with my neighbors lol but I am taking part of my motocross track to make a 3rd rc track lol. It has a lot of elevation for an rc track and the jumps are decent size. It just sucks I dont have a driver stand for any of the tracks and no pits for any tracks yet either. I dont know what im going to do lol.

Thanks man!! It looks like im getting more intrest from people I will have to try and setup a free ride day for people to come check it out. I want to do that soon but the weather is not helping with the rain we got 2 days ago my tracks are still so mucky. I might be able to make it happen but if not I will def have one in the spring time.

That looks familiar...is that by Spring Road/Wertzville Road or is that out by Rt 74...or somewhere else. Perhaps that barn looks similar to ones I've seen along those roads and thus looks familiar.


I live in the area as well and wouldn't mind learning to drive away from a more formal track so I don't embarass myself in a race.
