Too hot in Houston for that IMHO...I am not a fan of 170deg asphalt and 98deg sun. Although the warehouse is hot as well inside, at least the heat isn't radiating back at you. Not only that, our track never gets rained out.

We have a group of four running 17.5T on an abrasive, low-traction asphalt parking lot, 110x80'. I think we'll have a fifth driver joining us soon.

EDIT: Track temperature at the last race was 135F.

We run our car on medium grip asphalt in Taiwan, air temperature is around 32 to 37 Celsius

We would be if our track hadn't closed down...still trying to find a new place to race

I doubt new tracks open up very often in Hawaii.. That sucks Danny

In the near 30 years I've lived here only 3 purpose built on-road tracks have ever opened out here (Other than some private drifting clubs). 1 indoor carpet lasted less than a year...1 indoor concrete which lasted less than a year...and Race World Hawaii which was fortunately open for several years. Its just too expensive out here to run a track indoor or outdoor.

You are always welcome to race with us, and as a bonus you can see all of the wondrous beauty of Kansas:

Here' our clubs facility at Freedom Park Camarillo, CA
We have a 1/12 scale class that has 6-8 regular racers twice a month. It's just getting started up again after the class disappearing for a few years. Medium to high traction on a washed and sprayed sealed surface. Lots of fun!

Been there. That's much more scenic than what I saw.

If Kansas is anything like Iowa, it's like space travel. Miles and miles of no landmarks.

Iowa is scenic compared to Kansas. They are called fly over states for a reason

I would just love a track with ANY surface that foam tyres would work on

160 miles? That's awful.

My LHS died and now if you live in Arizona and want to go carpet racing, weekend trip to Cali is your best option.

You know what's really funny though? My LHS died almost 2 years ago and not a thing has happened to the building since. It's just sitting there, weeds are now 3 feet tall but otherwise unchanged. They didn't even turn the sign off.
