Hi Al,
What part of town are you in? We are in San Manuel and it is quite a drive.

As for help, with the paint program, not really we have split the kids up by ability and what they want to achieve.

The Track, that would be great the dirt will be there by the weekend, then I need to get with a friend that can bring his backhoe out one day. I can let you know as soon as we have a plan.

Thanks again for your support and offer to help.
Vince

Just typed in the address on Google Maps and did a sat. view and showed an old layout. Crazy how everyone can see into your backyard...

All moved with a shovel and wheelbarrel, we have access to over 100 more yards but no way to move it except with my truck.

That's an amazing job you did and I'm pretty sure you did most of it by yourself. Track looks great! Where are you located exactly and what days/times is the track open?

Going to reopen mid Sept for the kids program. Got some more to do before than. I am usually available mon-fri most anytime, just give me a heads up. On weekends just depends if the kids have a swim meet, like this weekend but it is here right next to the track. Most of the kids in the RC program are also in the Swim program.

Also working on getting generators so we can run lights and stay out late.

Pipe is down, swept/blown and watered. Track is fast and pretty technical.

Here is a quick video of the layout, I didn't have anyone with me to shoot any cars but hoping to do that tonight if I get home before its dark.

Looking to get some lights/generator for the track.

Selling my DNX408 to help get a generator to power the far side of the track. I don't get to use it much so figure I'll try and sell it.

http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...-408-artr.html

Also have 2 cars to finish up and need of about $90 in parts, I would be willing to trade a B4 or T4 for the parts to complete them or just sell one and I can order the parts.

Default Veterans Day Open House

I will be out all weekend to touch up a few spots and run cars, message me here if you would like to come out and help and test.

Normally the cars are reserved just for the kids but we think we can give one day back to our Veterans.

We received a generous donation from one of the members here.

A Tamiya Durga 4wd buggy, it has a servo and I believe we have a motor and ESC we can drop in.

We also have an Associated B4.1 just about complete.

On Sat. Dec 21st we will be selecting 2 very deserving kids in the program and awarding them the cars complete and ready to run.

Pics and details will be posted on our FB page.

With the recent closing of CV and CH in Tucson. I would like to gauge interest to see if it would be feasible to get a timing system to start running at our track.

Address is 203 E. Main, San Manuel, 85631 - google it and LMK if you would make the drive.

I would also need help to organize races, running the kids program is about all I can handle along with my other duties.

Guess there is no interest in using this track for racing.

Looking for another adult to help with the program. With the closing of Competition Hobbies and Canyon Vista, that leaves 2 tracks in the Tucson area... Hobby Town and THIS ONE... we need the support to keep this going.

Happy New Year.
