Here is a Google Maps link so that you can get directions from where you are:

Glenwood R/C

Drew, Brian and the rest of the Glenwood R/C crew are a great group of guys to race with. Along with the visitors that travel to their facility there is always a high caliber of competition.

www.wnyrc.com/site is the forum for the greater niagara region.


Youll find info on all of the racing in the area- as well as glenwood.


Track is pretty dialed. I think its 85' by nearly 40 is.. maybe 36'--- but they use every last inch. Lap times are low 14's in mod 4wd.. with the occassional high 13 on the current layout. But from my understanding- it is changing for the race.


Pit area is tight.. but they are opening it up a bit for the race. I think i heard last year there was over 100 entries for this race... with people from ALL over.


Tires of choice-- unfortunately are bald pink.. I ran about a 3% taperpin on my 4wd last weekend and it worked.. but anything more-- in most cases.. doesnt work.

Wish I could come too! I used to live in East Aurora. My Maw-in-Law still lives in Orchard Park. We get up there a couple of times a year. Is there a website?

My son and I run Associated T4's stock. You guys run a stock truck class? We use Novak 13.5 and that's considered "stock" in our area.

We run at www.HCRCracing.com in Danville, IN.
