Who is in for some VTA this Sunday? This sounds like it could be a fun event!
Post up if you’re planning on going to the race and what your going to run, VTA, Slash, etc.

Any more detail from HobbyTown would be great.
Will there be power, & staging area with tables? Are there specific classes they are running for this event? What time does racing start? How many heats will there be?

Looking forward to a good turnout!
Paul H.

Okay. So I'm trying to help out and get everyone here to this thread to avoid the confusion of potentially different information getting posted to multiple threads. Thanks to our race director, "krzyspddemon76" for taking the time to come hear get us all up to speed. Just let those other threads fall off the edge of the message board.

So Sunday, June 12th I'm planning on attending. Will run VTA for sure and maybe one other class, either Mini or 17.5 TC. St. Charles HT has done a great job in the past getting out in the community with these special event races and promoting the hobby. Elburn days has been one of my favorites but this one looks like it could give it a run.

I'm told the satellite imagery on Google Maps (and MapQuest too) is old and inaccurate. There is a new extended parking area along the East side of First Street. That parking area along with a portion of First Street will be the track. So we will be parking in the grassy area on the NE corner of First and Illinois streets and racing in the street! Sounds like a good time. I think VTA will be a spectator favorite for sure.

St. Charles Hobbytown uses AMB scoring and provides electric power via a generator. Entry fees are normally $10 for the first class and $5 for each class after that. There are no spec tire requirements and tech is essentially an honor system. I'm sure the fest will have porta potties set up somewhere for bathrooms and there's bound to be tons of good food and beverages. This is big value for your racing dollars! Fun, food, spectators and a generally good time.

The Hobbytown in St. Charles, IL does not have any racing that weekend. All the race dates are in the first post. However, if you are going to be in the Chicago area that weekend, there is plenty of good racing going on. Byron Fuels sponsors the On-Road Nitro Challenge that weekend at the world class Leisure Hours Raceway in Joliet, IL. This race would be fun even just to watch. The Track at Harbor Hobbies (Winthrop Harbor, IL) should be having parking lot racing that Saturday afternoon. Sunday you could head up to Norridge for parking lot racing at Strictly R/C. Or if you don't want to bring anything at all, you could head over to the Berkeley Park District for some all inclusive Mini-Z racing. Lot's of choices for someone wanting to play on the asphalt or carpet that weekend. I put up a full on-road schedule of the area's racing at this thread. If you search any of the names I just mentioned, you should be able to find the threads related to those facilities.

I'm rebuilding my VTA right now. I was going to go to the A.A. at Strictly but I think I will stay out west here. I might put my RCGT car back together too for some stock rubber.
I might run SCT.

Chute - missing two points races Last week was Nascar in Joliet and this Sunday is AA in Norridge. I'll make it to the next one with VTA and mini cooper.

"Sunday is RC Car Racing Day with Hobbytown USA. Watch the professionals and then try your hand racing these cars around the track."

I took this quote from the Pride of the Fox Riverfest website. So I guess we're the "professionals." Should be an interesting day.
