Default Saturday Night Lights racing at Hobbytown

We had our first race last Saturday under the lights at Johnson City Hobbytown.

Track is awesome, and has a fantastic enter jump that is huge.

Big turnout for SCT 2WD and 4WD as well as E buggy.

Looking for another huge turnout this coming Saturday.

Come on out and race with some really fast, fantastic racers.

$15 buck'o roo's and a Robotronics Transponder.

I have one for rent for a race day if needed.

We had a blast up there Saturday. The rain was a bummer, but you guys have a fun little track. I'll certainly be back!

Awesome man, glad you had a good time. The rain was a bummer no doubt, when the 2nd wave came in I knew we couldn't wait that one out.

I went up there Sunday after replacing my motor I burnt out, so here is a clip of the track in case others are interested.

Digg'n the video man. Glad to see the Hobby Town steppin up and putting a track together for you all.

I'll try to make it up there soon. Is the track open for practice when you all aren't racing? Seems perfect for 1/10 buggy, any of those running?

It is open for practice any time you want to come. I think it is $5 for practice.

I tried to get them to run 2WD buggy, but a lot of the guys don't like to drive them. I still have mine if you brought some guys with you on race day maybe we could run a class.

You might check out the spring hill track. It should be quite a bit closer.

That would be great. We alternate weekends sometimes, so when that date gets closer I will post here and let you guys know.

BOTH! If we have less than 10 we run them together, but if we have enough of both they are separated into two classes.

This weekend was a blast. Big thanks to Steve for putting up with us and also for having the track in mint condition. The surface is getting really REALLY nice.

Is it $15 per class or is the 2nd class cheaper?

It is $15 per racer. Race as many classes that are racing that day for $15.
