That track is in the parking lot at HobbyTown USA in Austin, TX. The 2nd round of the Texas Electric On-Road Series was hosted by this track on August 12.

BTW, the 3rd round of Texas Electric On-Road Series is happening at Mike's Hobby Shop on Sept. 9.

Can't wait to go there. Gotta get my losi some new shoes before i get there. I've been there once but was wondering if the new proline ions would work good on that track. Any particular local 4x4 sc tires favorites for the clay track?

The top 2 tires that the local 4x4 SCT drivers have been using are:
  1. AKA Super Soft Wishbones
  2. AKA Super Soft Gridiron SC

The Gridiron SC tires last a bit longer than the Wishbones do, but the Wishbones give you maximum traction.

Yes.

First recommendation:
Courtyard by Marriott Dallas/Lewisville - (972) 316-3100
Ask for the "Mike's Hobby Shop Rate" when calling or Use code MH9 in the Corporate/Promotional code box online at www.marriott.com/dalll

Second recommendation:
Best Western Lewisville Texas - (972) 459-5300
Ask for the "Mike's Hobby Shop Room Rate" for the $65.00 room night or use code 538.
