Hi,
My sons and I just moved to the area from California and I was very glad to come across your listing. Ater catching the RC bug from my boys, It's great that they will have someplace close by to race at. They gave me a small list of questions to ask so here goes::
We all have personal transponders from amb...which timing system are you using and what software.
Does the shop specialize in RC cars and do they give discounts to racers??
Is the track available for practice any other time than race day ??
What kind of prize's are givin out to class winners??
Will there be novice thru expert races in each class??
Will there be electric power available for everybody(we have alot of stuff !!)
Is parking close by??
Is there enough space for a 12 ft. trailer??
Is ROAR membership required to race??
Thanks and we hope to see you all in April.

re space coast racing
the last time i raced space coast parking was very close by,in the same parking lot,as far as power usually its available ,as far as the hobby shop being stocked ,depends what kind of cars you run,they are a little on the understocked side for r/c but trains and h.o slot cars are plentiful.all in all its a fun event-,this will go good with superior's race schedule -they tend to have a good turn out also

Xraygal, well here goes....the software will take personal transponders. The shop does have r/c car parts, though I suggest bringing spares. We have asked and they will carry the Monster stock motors, Take Off CS-27GL tires and Stratus 2.0 bodies. We feel these are fastest stock motors, best all around tires and overall most used body. The shop wants to work with the racers and carry what will be used. Special or rare use items will have to be ordered. Currently no discounts to racers. The track is set-up in the parking lot and will only be available on race day. Prizes are hobby shop gift certificates. Classes are available on the flyer in my previous post. Of course they can be tweaked based on turn-out. Limited power is available on a first come first serve basis. Some racers may have extra power available from their generators. Parking is very close. A 12ft trailer shouldn't be a problem. ROAR membership is not required. Whew..........hope that helps out.
Remember the April race is free to all and is scheduled to be a warm-up race to work out all the "bugs" and to get everyone up to speed on the new program. The new driver's stand will be one of the best you'll ever use, as it's now complete. Thanks to Snodgrass Paint and Body for the prep and paint work too! Come on out it should be a BLAST!

I'm glad i stumbled onto this site and this thread. I live in Miami and recently got a HPI RTR3 RS4 nitro car. there isn't many places here to run my car. I have only been running it up and down my street and trying to tune the engine. I do have family in the Melbourne/Cocoa area so I travel up that way every couple weeks or so. I do have a few question if someone doesn't mind answering them:
1. What is the address of the track where the 4/13 race will be held?
2. Since I am pretty new to R/C racing and cars, what rules are there regarding racing, tracks, etc?
3. I would love to race against other people, but because I am new is thier a class for rookies? I don't want anyone getting mad at me. I would of course be very careful, but I do watch NASCAR (HUGE fan!!) and i know ow tempers can flare.
5. Is anyone able to race or are there certain requirements?
6. What type of cars will be allowed? Nitro, electric....
I can't think of any more questions, but if i do i'll post em
Thanx for the help and if all goes well, i will be thier on April 13th 2003

Alucard,
check out the track in Coral Springs. It is only about 30 mins from Miami. They have a thread here. They do run 200mm nitro so you are in luck. They race every Sunday and practice on Saturday.

alucard13, the shop only races once a month and that's the only time the track can be set up. I still encourage you to bring your stuff and run. There's a rookie class for you to get started in. We'll walk you through anything you need to know and we'll be there to help you. The racing at this facility is geared towards having FUN and never losing sight of that is a goal of ours and Space Coast Hobbies. Hope to see you show up with your car.....
