Default 1/10 on road in Dallas area?

Does anybody know of a place where people meet to race 1/10 on road cars? I've heard of Mikes and Indy but not too sure if they do 1/10 races.

Thanks.

Indy is stricktly offroad and dirt oval. Mikes though does 1/10 and 1/12 carpet onroad racing. They race on thursday nights and saturdays. Their website is mikeshobbyshop.com. It is a great facility. The main onroad classes that have enough to race is VTA and F1, but on occationally there are enough for spec sedan and 1/12.

Yeah i just called Mike's and it doesn't seem like they do any Nitro racing. Indoor courses are strictly electric and i think his outdoor course is off-road only. Guess i need to invest in an electric car to be competitive and have fun!

We run a VTA class at Mikes that is the most popular onroad class at the moment. Also 1/10 spec sedan and 1/12 scale. Formula 1 class is starting up too. I don't know of nitro onroad track around anymore.

There is an onroad nitro track in Rendon. Its in the middle of no where. Next best bet for nitro would be mikes in houston. Otherwise this state is all electric 10th scale onroad or offroad. Come to mikes and introduce yourself. Ill be the guy calling the races.

The Rendon has only about 3 races a year on the on-road course.

Send a PM to rcmike on here. Tell him racetek sent you and that you need info on running nitro on road. He will have your answers. To be honest I am surprised he hasn't chimed in before now.
