We are also participating in a 4-race series with other neighboring tracks http://www.rctech.net/forum/racing-f...es-2015-a.html. Trains and Lanes is also hosting the 2015 ROAR PA State Championships on Saturday, August 1st. As a participating track in these series, we will not be racing on any series race weekends this year.

I visited the track last year. Really cool place. I would really like to try outdoor. I'm running indoor high grip clay sct mod. Do you guys think the vehicle setup is much different from indoor.

More than likely your setup will be quite different than what you're running indoor. Outdoor tracks are typically much faster, jumps are bigger, and they are just not as smooth. Bring it out and give it a try. Just about any small or medium pin tire in super soft or soft works well on our track.
