And this is EXACTLY what I'm doing. I drive a truck (semi) OTR and have visited many of the most popular and a few of the "not so popular" tracks. I drive them to see what the dirt "feels" like, check the hobby shops (with and without tracks) to see inventory (Buy a few items as well), see what's popular in different areas, and see pricing.
I have visited MANY tracks including but not limited to:
Need 4 speed, Garden City, KS
Revelation, Ontario, CA
Pegasus, Ontario, CA
Trains and Lanes, Easton, PA
High Performance RC, Hutchinson, KS
MOHR, Aurora, CO
Intermountain RC Raceway, Magna, UT
A-Main Hobbies & Raceway, Portland, OR
Performance RC Raceway, OKC, OK
Blue Springs Raceway, Blue Springs, MO
Bumps and Jumps, York, PA
Mike's RC, Carrollton, TX
and a few I can't remember! (Sorry!!!!!) not that they weren't nice, just an example: Pasco, WA there's a 1/8th scale track beside a 1/4th scale "nascar" oval. Nice place! Just can't remember the name as I haven't been there for about 18 mos.
Just to name a few. I (unfortunately) have NOT visited a few I'd like to due to lack of parking... Hard to find parking for 73' with truck and trailer, Let alone 28' for just the truck if I get the chance to drop my trailer!
