They seem to post more on the Facebook page. As of now there is racing every Wednesday. The turnout was supposedly good last week for the first day of racing(if someone else feels differently please answer this part as I wasn't there but heard it was good). And for bomber I believe most guys are running a regular pan car chassis. Hope I was a help.

Turnouts have been outstanding! 2 heats of stock sct, and 2 heats of Bomber. 1 heat each of the big dollar classes.
My thoughts on the RJ speed car. I don't like the style of chassis because the battery sits in the middle of the chassis. You are better getting a used pancar chassis. If everyone used a center battery car then fine, but I doubt a rj speed car could hang with a true oval car.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not really looking to build an oval car as of now but maybe down the line.

I'll keep an eye this thread and the FB page to see if an on-road racing program develops.

Shouldn't really matter what you run as long as you don't go over 4.2 sec.

NEWS: 1st we have a new scoring loop and coax for this week. Testing is promising but we wont know for sure until everything is all setup and running.
Next we will be trying new software this week. It has a ton of cool features we think you all will like and use. The most noticeable will be real time scoring on LiveRC.com. Here you can look at all your lap times anytime you would like that night or the next day. Next the Bomber guys will like there will be a audible noise when you go to fast. There are a few more and you will hear and see that in the weeks to come. Again please bare with us as we work out the bugs and we will because we want a great place to race as much as you do. Lets have some FUN!!!!

Hard to say is on-road will happen just because of the building owner can be difficult but never say never!

We kind of want to have it look the same "type" of cars but other than 4wd chassis do not mater. Must be rear wheel 2wd.

Why you hiding mister retired guy??? Only nice people at this track



Thanks for all the replies guys. I will try to keep a better eye on this forum too

Any older pan car chassis works fine for bomber. L4, pro3 there are lots out there to choose from. Most are $85 -$150 depending where you find one. Hobby Talk I think is the best place to buy used

John Alft has a car for you, He lives in Wi Rapids area. I don't have his number but just google it, he has a land line. I got my car from him, and he had a few to choose from.
