The track is coming together! Looking to open soon within the next two weeks. Check out the facebook page Vinny's r/c raceway. There you can find pictures of the lyout and check out the land. We hope to get some people out and give some suggestions and thoughts when we start racing. I will keep an update for the opening day.

No scoring yet....its coming. They have a lot going on at once right now....new track, getting scoring, PA, plus getting all the hobby shop stuff finalized. I've been out there every night they have been officially open...talking and helping.......come and check it out. The track is getting worked in nicely.... John and his family are 110% committed to this new facility. Its going to be a great place.... we just need to help get the word out...get some racers coming....and it will all fall into place. The staff and facility has the potential to be one of the best tracks in this area... we need to support it, and it will be great!

Sunday, open at 1:00
I don't have a race setup anymore...but I will have to stop out and check it out now that the track is set up. It just may be time to get back into racing!

We're building a fence at my house so we probably won't be out right at 1:00...also...hoping the weather holds out for us all.
