Update!
Track is open Monday-Saturday for practice during normal shop hours. No timing loop available. $10 for the day, or $100 for a yearly pass.
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:

I'll be out running tomorrow (2/12/2022), so stop by, check out the hobby shop, check out the track and say hi!

What type of transponders are used on the outdoor carpet track shown in pictures? Interested in a day trip from the Ft Lauderdale area.
#9

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!
