But what I am talking about is getting RC Car Parks around the country thru a afterschool program.

I have been slowly educating those around me about 5th scale (from what I am learning). Many are starting to see how much more cost effective they are over what some are running now. However, with a few places to race them, you can't win over racers of other classes over to the 5th scale side.
We have to get more organized and get a couple of place committed to letting the big cars run and get a good racer base established before you can get schools, businesses, and local governments aboard. A committed base leads to an ease in investors' worries/doubts.

First and foremost is trying to find a couple of venues east of California that will entertain putting on a 5th scale race or two. We also need to network to see who has (or still have) a 5th scaler that they are willing to come out and race if given the opportunity and are willing to travel. The rules are simple because most have already been established except for the Sportsline Spec class that I am putting rules together (something simple). Just floating some thoughts..........

I would not mind traveling to race if it is not far. I can do limited traveling but first I would have to check if my Dialysis center has a place in the town I am traveling too. I know they do in Texas. I have to do Dialysis 3 times a week. So it is something I have to consider before traveling.

Lets keep knocking a few things around because something will shake out of it. I hope to make a trip to race in Cali next year to see how they do it, get some 5th scale racing experience, and help to formulate better ideas on how we can possibly improve on what we may come up with before then.

As far as the two tracks in florida, fullthrottle in kissimmee which is just outside of Orlando is totally on board the owner is also wanting to get a 5th TC for his own collection, there is no issue with forgass at all, and homestead was somewhat interested.

If that is the case with Fullthrottle, who is the person that we need to talk to as far as putting something together? I have seen aerial pictures of the track and it definite appears to be able to handle 5th scale cars. And, it is in the Orlando area so hotels and restaurants won't be an issue for incoming racers. Why should the West Coast guys have all the 5th scale fun?
