nitrous36 Sorry, I should not have called you out.


That's a really awesome looking track, thanks for sharing. I'm sure the dude at Parks & Rec got it going, but I'm sure he had to show the decision makers that it's something the community wanted and needed.

This is where shop owners should step up. If a business owner approached Parks & Rec I think it would have the same type of impact as someone who works at Parks & Rec. The shop owner or one of their loyal customers can start a campaign, change.org would be a good place to start so you can the powers that what you are asking for has some validity. Using a platform like change.org makes it easy to promote your campaign via all of the socials and it takes less than a minute for someone to sign their name digitally.

When I heard about a local park being redeveloped and that they wanted public input, I reached out to them and did my best to explain why an RC track is needed and what type of value it can add to the community. One of the things I proposed to them is building a track that can host a Nationals or large event. Those events bring in people from all over the world and those visitors need a place to stay, they need to eat, etc... If I would have had a shop owner behind me and/or a group of people, what I was saying would have carried a lot more weight and there would more than likely be a track in my area.

What would help us out more than a group of people and a shop owner would be for Horizon and AMain to follow in the footsteps of Tony Hawk and start a joint venture to help get RC Parks built in Public Parks. RC Parks in Public Parks would be good for not only them, but it would also give a shot in the arm to local hobby shops and city leaders should want to help small business' thrive, especially if it's not costing them anything. I guarantee RC Parks in Public Parks would bring in a lot of new users and yes most of them would bash, but some of them would race, especially if the track was used for races.
