The one in Bloomington closed this summer, there is a dirt track in Lincoln and one in Mahommet.

You can go to www.primetimehobbies.com and there are links to those web sites.

Default track

just found out today that the idea for the indoor track was scrapped because the owners didnt think that there was enough interest for it here in springfield. sucks because i know there is major interest here.

Hey guys, just a heads up. Rick Wilson of Glitchers RC has started a Central Illinois Racers forum over at www.nitroaddicts.com. That is where Glitchers RC will be posting schedule info, answering questions, and chatting, as well as posting all the other area tracks schedules and info. We welcome all racers to make comments, ask questions or just stop in and BS. It is sometimes very hard to get scheduling and track info with everyone going to 20 different sites so we are trying to get everything posted in one place so info is easier to find. Thanks Jared F
