i dont think there are any tracks with any noticeable elevation changes though.

What about the Sao Paulo track that was built for the 2004 1:10th Nitro worlds?

Elevation change of around 3 metres all up from top to bottom!

Even though it is a nitro track i'd still ove to run on it, but it was built just for the worlds, don't see the point in that but ok haha!

Tamiya is restructuring the way they do business in America and will no longer house their own warehouse as they did in Aliso. Therefore, they downsized their building to a small rented office space, and moved there warehouse to I think Carson or something.

Sadly for all of us Tamiya faithful in Southern Orange County, it means we are loosing the best track around. In many ways, we are loosing the only place to race within a hour drive which is even worse.

Sounds like Denver lost its carpet track this week, too. It's not looking good for permanent facilities these days. :-(

this is the track in Kemble, near Swindon in the UK. It is huge and awesome to drive. Half the lap is slightly downhill and the latter half is uphill.
27T stock, single lap is 22 secs!
One of the best IMHO in the UK.

Yeah I saw that as well, 2007 has not been good to RC Tracks, the thing that really suprised me was that more wasnt done to save SoCal, alot of big name drivers came outta that facility, I thought that they would do more to save it (maybe they did I have heard alot of different things)
