I dont understand how the owners of this supposed track in progress in Philly havent come on here with some facts. They apparently dont want to get the word out to 30,000 people.

This thread is now about 1.25 years old and no real info has been posted.

gotta agree with you there...

But like Larry said, this thread is so old with no new information regarding this indoor track - what a shame...

Ok I went to this Hobby shop today and got some real answers. They are gonna have an indoor offroad track looks to be more geared toward 10th scales and an indoor asphalt track for gas and electric touring cars. They said they hope to be open by the first of the year.

At this point, Kev - I wouldn't hold your breath this place will EVER exist, other than a thread on rctech

No one actually associated with the track has come on here and said anything about what they are trying to do...and Larry is the first person I know that actually talked to people, and I'm sure he mentioned how "prime" the market is for an indoor racing facility - but still nothing...

Nothing here

Nothing on their website

Nothing, but a bunch of us hoping this might actually come true

Guys I dont know any more than I posted. Darrell Lee works at the shop. I'm sure many of you know him, give them a call and see if you can get any more info.

Just found this forum and I was wondering if anything ever came about with the Project R/C track in South Philly. Anything new?

its closing in on a year with nothing from the owners - so I'd assume its a dead issue...

If you are looking for someplace to race, I'd look into get an on-road vintage car together and come race over at SJCCR (south jersey)...

Pm me or email me ([email protected]) and we can chat some more about it..
