Tracks and club links
 

Marcos or Tim can you please add this to the Florida club tracks link I just noticed it's locked and we would like to be on it Thank you guys

Finally!!!!

Thanks Rob for finally getting Dave to get a real race program going. It will take a bit to get everyone back on the track, but it will pay off.

When do you guys expect to have Kyosho kits in stock? I really would like to take a look at the RRRR.

Done:)

BIG THANKS MARCOS YOU THE MAN
i will see if rob can send you the web site info

Thanks Again for all the support, Kits will be arriving soon just please call the shop for info on cars and parts, I dont want to advertise on here for the shop they have rules on that and I wasn't aware of them so I will only be able to respond to track talk. And I just want to have respect for the RCTECH website so please understand, For any questions regarding track info I will give updates on here daily.
I will try to check here twice a day but will always check at the end of the night.
Next race will be New Years day, YES thats correct New Years day.Thanks to Paintin Pete we will have his track. We have currently had three races so far and its been great, And now that all the little bugs are just about worked out we will be able to offer a good program. Its not a huge track but the fastest lap time turned on the layout we have is 15.6 not lots and lots of speed but a good competetive layout.
Back stretch lane width is 13 ft and all other are 12 foot, Its nothing huge but its some good club level racing to keep you freshened up for the big races. So I feel confident that I can give you guys a great place to come race have fun!
Thank You Again Paintin Pete For all that you are doing.

MARK thats what im thinking
NICE to see you back HOW was the vacation lol

Come one, come all.....we need and want the competition!

We will need a point series as this gets bigger.

Whatsup People,Just checkin in,As I said everyday.
I have already thought about a point series, So as we grow I would like to do that, Also as always if anyone has any input I will always listen and do my best to make this the best program. Without racers I dont have a program. In other words everyone has a voice and will be heard to make it right. So speak up say it and please dont think I will not listen.

Just so you guys know this is a NEW race program.
Talked to Rob at Hobby Town today and he was
very excited, but he wanted to let you all know
that he is basically taking baby steps to work out
all the bugs of a race program within the next
few races. We want to make sure that your
participation at Brevard's newest RC Car Club is
pleasant and is a fun, family experience! :nod::tire::nod:

Track info
 

Hello,
Alright so far it seems that electric touring to be most active,Though very suprised nitro went well.Most guys are running electric touring and then turning around and running GT by changing tires.So any questions please feel free to call me at the shop.And as we grow things will grow.I was hoping to just have at least 10 guys at the races and really praying to have 15,And so far it has doubled that at every race.Some of the guys are new to racing,But I hope that it will bring new racers out. So that maybe some of them will want to go to Kissimmee on the monthly races,And even Race in the forgass and other races being held there and all over state.I maybe a smaller track but lap times are around 16 to 17 seconds.So it will keep your skills sharp and just remember,Its club level but people here could always use tips from top drivers.

One Thing,
Just so every is clear far as running classes as roar rules I am down with that also,enough show up to make a class as roar specs then it will be done.New people think fast motors mean they can drive fast .We know its not the case.So I just want all to know that.

Rob, when I left Hobbytown, we had some IDM stuff. Do you still have any of it?

LOL I D M when i ran them it ment I DESTROY MOTORS :eek:

joe I will call jerry and see what he has

Bobby and I spoke to Rob a few days ago and this is looking to be a great idea :D and I'm glad we can have a local club race and just go out an have some fun. Like Rob said, we are hoping to grow the hobby to get some new people interested and also, try to interest some people in joining some of the bigger races, specifically, club races at Kissimmee. Bobby and I look forward to being there Jan 1st and helping out where we can. Whether it is with car setups, best practices or just talking RC

HOBBY TOWN PEEPS WE RUNNING THIS WEEKEND IN KISSIMME GREAT TIME TO COME OUT AND MEET SOME NEW FACES AND PROMOTE YOUR CLUB RACING I KNOW THE K-TOWN PEEPS WILL BE SUPPORTING YOU GUYS NITRO AND ELECTRIC WELCOME!!!!!!!!WE GOT QUITE A FEW GUYS THAT WOULD BE INTRESTED IN RUNNING GREAT TIME TO SPREAD THE WORD AND RACE!!!!!

Whats Up People,
Sorry missed a few days,Been really busy with work and slammed with repairs.But I wanted to mention to any guys that run at Kissimme and also at Superior,If u can get me flyers or even dates I will always advertise for them.And all races through out the state.But I want everyone to know I will put it at the shop on the counter right next to my own flyers.Even if its the same race days as mine.Its all about the racers, Plus I want people to shop at the local hobby shops and not the internet,So feel free to bring me the race flyers and they will be posted and put up no matter what I want on road to grow , I just I think the more tracks people are aware of the more we can bring in new people.So guys please help us bring back on road,And get these guys out of the dirt and show them where the true speed and fun is at.And also thank you Bobby and Anthony for coming in and taking the time to talk with me,And all the support.

Just got into the rc scene, was a window shopper when I was young and had no job.
Looking forward to more races, doing an awesome job, Rob and crew.:)
