Loganville RC Race Schedule!!!
 
O.K. Guys,

Here's a new racing schedule that will carry us through the Fall. We've included some practice dates, more practice dates may be added later.

***ATTENTION: there have been some changes to the schedule since the initial post.

Things to remember...

The Race Fee is $20 per class.

On practice dates the Practice Fee is $5.00 per driver and each driver must sign in and pay before they put an R/C on the track. No Exceptions.

Starting on 09-06-08 the first race of each month will be a trophy race. Plaques will be awarded to 1st through 3rd place in all classes.

The Classes are: Sportsman 1/8 Buggy, Pro 1/8 Buggy, 1/8 Truggy and Production MT. Additional classes will be considered based on demand.

You must have a personal transponder. Currently there are no loaners.

The track will be closed for practice 1 hour prior to the posted start time. This will allow for time to prep the track and have a drivers meeting before racing begins.

Racing will start at the posted start time. Don't be late.

Just posting it up incase any of you wanted to race @ Loganville.





Who would have thought that the forums for georgia rc racing are segregated.

So he really charges $8 more then other tracks? Does he give something extra or? no im not being a dick im seriously asking cause thats a big price jump from other tracks.

Just my 2cents here but it seems that track is closed every other weekend for maintenance and then before the races. What are they doing maintenance wise in this time? Rebuilding the freaking track each time? Seems like its closed an excessive amount of time.

Littleman16 08-19-2008 05:29 PM

actually yes when the track is closed for maintances they do work on it they reface the jobs and fix what ever they need.

They have it closed every other weekend so it would give some other track a chance to race with a good, crowd. WIth the trcak bveing closed the for maintance the days they do have races bring in alot more people then it were if he was racing every other weekend. It's ahrd to explain but i understood it when i heard it.

Also the only ones that charge $10-$12 are the one up north geaogia, it has always been $20 bucks for trcaks that were around lville, i believe griffin was like this and savannah, Warner robins to.

kikcaffine 08-19-2008 08:40 PM

How many of the tracks that charged 20 are still around?

bgbelden 08-19-2008 11:32 PM

It's your track and i enjoyed it so charged $100.00 if you want. When no one shows up you'll figure it out.:tire::ha::ha::tire:

I think lville and savannah. griffin closed cause he was tired of running the tracka nd want to do more racing then running one. Warner Robins was in bad area and didn't really have much of a chance from the get go. Loganville still is going strong.

Well see that's where your wrong cause i don't own it. How could a 17 year old even afford that??? I help spread the word. i help with the maintence on the track. I by no means own it! We have a good crowd every other weekend when it is open.

Bob Malphurs 08-20-2008 09:48 AM

Some people really can't see past the end of their noses!:rolleyes:.......have you considered that just maybe the cost of the land that tracks are on may have different values or some may be on land tracks own or lease. There are different scenarios for every track.

As for Loganville they lease the land, pay power and water, have maintenance costs, etc not to mention the thousands of dollars spent before the first race was even ran. So Chris probably did the math and decided that 20 bucks is what he needed to charge. If he makes a couple of dollars profit that's good, chances are he probably just breaks even.

All this criticism and complaining is what discourages track owners and closes tracks.

FordGT40 08-20-2008 10:32 AM

I agree Bob. I don't see how any track can stay in business by only charging $10-$12. People seem to think nothing of sinking thousands of dollars in their equipment and then quibble over a $7 or $8 higher entry fee to race. I'm not begging for track owners to charge me more but I would like to see them make a profit so they can stay in business. I think most track owners start a track to begin with just because they love the hobby so much, they charge very little so they and their friends can have a place to race but in the end they have to close because they can't afford to do it anymore. Just think about how much everything else costs in RC, that 7-8 bucks wouldn't even buy one tire to go on a buggy or truggy yet most racers have several sets of tires in their pit box. Sorry to butt in on your offroad thread, I just had to put in my .02.

wow guess you cant ask a question here either. and here i thought forums were for conversation and information...both usually involving a question at some point.
