wondering if anyone has consistently practiced and raced at both tracks and can tell me if rchr is the same way?
thanks
rchr as of late has been getting a fairly good amount of people practicing on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The majority of the people practicing on those nights seem to be mostly non racers, most are there to run on the track and hang with friends. I can't really speak about Wolcott as I haven't practiced there on a regular basis however I'd say rchr is a very low key/pressure place to practice and race. All the guys that work in the shop are easily accessible and more than willing to answer questions and help out.

B4.1 Worlds buggy for sale, it's basically been upgraded to the B4.2 but I'm still going to call it the B4.1 Worlds so there's no confusion. It's a little over a year old and has been used regularly, it's in decent shape and would be a good buggy for someone wanting to get started in 2wd buggy.

Comes as a roller with:

Rear wheels with Bracodes (Golds) (Plenty of life left)
Front wheels with Carvers (Plenty of life left)
Extra front shock tower (NIP)
Extra set of Avid slipper pads (NIP)
Diff rebuild kit (NIP)
Big bore rebuild kit (NIP)
12 RPM long ball cups (NIP - 1 is already installed, 11 still on the tree)

I'm bringing it to the track on Wednesday, I have someone interested in buying it. If that falls through the first person to hand me $125 gets the buggy. ** plus you get a hug from me ** (that's worth at least $125 alone)

I also have two 2 sets of front and 2 sets of rear arms (NIP) $20 takes those as well.

lol. I've already got set of JC battery-hold down screws all set. Hex nut driver is all ready. Saving the thumbs!! haha.

dynastorm, you can definitely get to practice tuesday's, thursday's, and friday's after 7:30pm. They don't close usually until around 10pm, sometimes later depending on how many guys are there.

We are very flexible during the week.
Tues doors open at 5 and if there are people there usually closes at 11pm. The same usually applies for Thurs. Friday is open from 5-10pm.
We race on Weds and Sat. Doors open at 5 and racing starts at 7 for Weds.

Thanks to everyone for responding about our practice nights. Guys, please come join us on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday for test and tune...its a great opportunity to get practice laps and to talk to one of our racers about your cars, setup and driving/racing...we'd love to help. Saturday is also a great day to come...we will attempt to race Saturdays but there is always time to practice. come check us out on Wednesday night to watch our best racers throw down!...we are extremely dedicated to our new racer development...it helps us grow the hobby which is something we all want. On Tuesday, myself and Ed Sahm are there...Ed is the manager/race director at Gallimods hobby and raceway and is very friendly and knowledgeable, Thursday we have Jeff Roy and Friday we have Eric Lawson..both of which are also extremely helpful, knowledgeable and great racers...
Hope to see you all down at the track...and when you are please come introduced yourself, id love to meet you guys!
