Its a fresh track, the dirt looks amazing and I have no doubt it will pack in nicely. Those pictures and video were shot just hours after it opened up, and the night before it was still getting the finishing touch to prepare for the soft opening in the morning.

the straightaway is nice and long....you might as well dial up the boost because you can use it to its full potential. imagine taking an outdoor track and throwing it indoors....

the dirt overall is very tacky. the reason it's loose right now is because it is fresh. im running a ft sc10 with worn jconcepts subcultures all around and i likey...

keep in mind that this is only the "soft opening" so we can all get a nice preview of the awesome potential of SDRC Raceway. they are planning a nice event for the grand opening, so get those rides ready.

this is truly a club racers track built by racers for racers. if you are in socal you should definitely check it out. i know a lot of us here in san diego have been waiting for a place like this...

I'm fighting the urge to just order a 22 without selling my SC10 first. For an indoor track I want to get back to my roots, 2wd Losi buddy. Anyone interested in an SC10? Not used much at all. Bought an SC10 kit and built it using anything from my FTT4 that I could. So it's essentially a factory team truck before they released a FTSC10. Have a bunch of parts, plus all the parts needed to convert to a T4 if you wanted. email if so. jkerr0043 at cox dot net.

1/10 2wd buggy will be a large class at SDRC. i know a lot of people who will be regulars at the track that run them. everywhere i looked during the opening i saw a 1/10 scale buggy.

SDRC also stocks a lot of the parts in the pro shop, so if there is something that you need there is a good chance that they might have it there for you.

in case anyone wants to check it out, here is the info:

SDRC Raceway
8725 Production Avenue
San Diego, CA 92121
Phone - (858) 831-0477
www.sdrcraceway.com

all the info you could need is posted on the website.

Looks fun guys! I used to live in Cardiff and still have some friends down there, so maybe if I go visit, I'll bring my cars with me. Or better yet, maybe this is an excuse to go down there and visit some friends. Congrats to the SD and surrounding community, the way I see it, the more options, the better and this certainly looks like fun.

Watch it Jason, just ordered a car. I'll have to come out and embarrass you. Should be out racing in a couple of weeks. The track's not too far from where I work. I'll have to go for some practice once I get back to work and get the car built.
