Actually CRC Ozite is made in Canada near Montreal. However, There are others made in Dalton that will work, but the bite will be much different than at a major event.

The blue carpet that Tommy has is actually pretty good stuff. We really like it.
Kumpol made a couple of research trips to Dalton, and he couldn't really find a viable alternative to CRC.
CRC FastTrak carpet generates traction very quickly and has good longevity. Best of all, it resists getting "stringy".

CRC Fasttrak and Fasttrak-Mini racing carpet is a time tested product that has been developed and improved for over 20 years since it first hit the R/C car market 1985. This new carpet is absolutely the best for model car racing. We have developed model car racing carpet since 1989 and this is our best release yet. The new Fasttrak features an advanced fiber bonding process to ensure fiber locking with little or no fuzz. Also, the backing has been modified to better suit both the facility that glues the carpet down, AND the facility that picks up and tears down each week.
CRC Fasttrak is used at the following large events;
*** The U.S. Indoor Champioship in Cleveland, OH ***
*** The Snowbird Nationals in Orlando, Florida (oval and road course) ***
*** The International Indoor Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada ***
*** Past IFMAR World Championships ***
Soon to be used at the following races;
*** 2008 LRP Carpet Masters ***
*** 2008 International Speed Weekend - ISW ***
CRC Fasttrak features a "no static" fiber treatment for safe speed control use. The traction compound resistant glue keeps fibers from tearing out prematurely due to the glue being weakened by tire additives. The carpet is gunmetal grey in color. It is far better for model car racing than carpets available from major home improvements stores. Fasttrak's omni-directional fibers cause no pull or drift of the model cars. Fasttrak requires no special care. An occasional vacuum and possible a yearly or bi-yearly steam cleaning is needed ONLY if your facility gets dusty during the summer months.

Maybe a call to ED Weaver at Dalton RC might be a good idea. His family is in the carpet business there and may have a line on that same carpet CRC sells.

I might also talk to some of my oval friends in SC about putting on a couple of oval races to bring in some revenue.

One or 2 lunchtimes a week would be awsome. One more question - are you planning on having the vintage class?
