The HobbyTown USA Hobbyplex and Byron Fuels have teamed up to host the Heartland Challenge nitro off-road race, July 28-29.

The Plex is one of the only purpose built indoor RC tracks in the country that can handle the rigors of hosting a nitro event.

Our track is 160 x 80 feet with no poles to run into. 16 garage doors surround the building so ventilation is never an issue. 12 sky lights in the roof provide plenty of natural light in the daytime. It's just like racing outside, but with a roof. No more rain outs.

We have 175 4-foot pit spots complete with power and chairs in a seperate air conditioned building, and a hobby store with inventory coming out of our ears.

Here are a couple of videos of our track. I'll be updating this thread with nitro car videos from our RC Pro Series race in April and Jconcepts 1:8 Spring Nationals in May.

Look for an announcement on which Byron Fuels team drivers will be attendance soon, as well as the link to RCsignup.

Awesome, another big nitro race for the Plex. Can't wait!

Just got word that among the Byron's drivers attending, Cody King and Ryan Lutz will be among them.:D

I hope I have enough vacation from work for this year. This is a two day race? No practice day right?

No, there will be practice on Friday. I'll have a flier soon. Need to make some e-mails.

I'm all in for this race. Need to get my fuel sent there I'll be flying in from Wisconsin

What tire style do you guys normally run here? just a ballpark.

Gridirons, hole shots, etc...

Tire wear is excellent.
