Saturday, February 26th - Open Practice Day with Timing Provided by Groove RC.
Sunday, Febrary 27th - Race Day! 9AM Registration, 10AM Practice, 11AM Racing Starts!

Groove RC uses a Trackmate Timing System, so standard MyLaps transponders do not work. The Trackmate transponders are $20 here:

What type of transponders are used on the outdoor carpet track shown in pictures? Interested in a day trip from the Ft Lauderdale area.

Justin at Groove RC uses a Trackmate Infrared system. He usually has a couple you can rent if needed (get them rented first thing in the morning, as they are usually all rented), but they can usually be had for about $20 HERE.

If you're going on a practice day, there is no timing system available.

Next race is on 4/23, hope to see you out there!

It sounds like there is a group of us getting together this weekend to knock it out, so should be good to go for next week and next weekends race!
