Default Fergus Falls, MN Carpet Track

I have arranged with the Westridge Mall in Fergus Falls, MN to rent me a large carpeted area for 12 Monday nights throughout the winter to set up a RC track. There are a few other guys in the area that drive as well. We had our first Monday night session last night and it was a blast. We still have a few more ramps to build for the next session so it should only get better. Check out this video: youtu.be/N88QT_E8oXc
Anyone is welcome to come join us, we pay $50 a time and divide it up evenly so the more people we get the cheaper it gets.
We are located about an hour south east of Fargo on I-94 and about 3 hours north west of Minneapolis.
We have the space from 5:30PM to 9:00PM on these remaining dates:
Nov. 26, Dec. 10 and 17, Jan. 7 and 21, Feb. 4 and 18, Mar. 4 and 18, Apr. 1 and 15.
Send me a message if you are interested in coming.

Default Monday 26th

We drive this Monday. If anyone is interested in joining us, we meet at 5:30 at the westridge mall in Fergus Falls. Our spot is located right across the hall from the movie theater. Just finishing up some new jumps so it should be a blast. Hope to see some of you there.

I would say no on the sedan as the course has jumps on it. The biggest jump we have is a double with a 2 foot high take-off and about a 15 foot gap, so it is up to you with the off road truck. The guys here are running 10th scale 2wd buggy, but other vehicles are welcome.

We drove again yesterday and had 7 drivers (2 offroad trucks, and 5 2wd buggies). The track was a blast and we should have a few more tweeks for next time. We hope to have some more drivers for next time (Dec. 10th), so if you are interested swing on over and join us. Here are a few pictures of the track last night.

+1 ... got a great group there and hope to see it continue to grow. It was fun to see all the 1/10 2wd buggies as well.

You have any preliminary pictures of the outdoor track that is in the works?

No pictures of the outdoor track but I think the area is about 50ft x 100ft clay. I am going to cut the take off of the big double down a bit so we have less carnage.
