I heard A-main in washington closed down and is looking for another location.loud 95 said:Where do you race Ed? When I was a kid, they used to race buggies and stadium trucks at the washington county fairgrounds, on a covered course. I was about to start regularly racing there, but they closed it down. I have an electric RC10T2, and a Traxxas Stampede.
Thats Kool, I used to race electric years ago, i actually had a dyno so I could measure rpms and torque on all my motors, so I could pick one depending on thew track layout, more rpms for the long straight away tracks and i cwould choose the hi torque motors for the ones with less straights and more twistys, hec I even had a motor lathe so I could turn them when they needed more power. Within the last year I got into nitro's and luv it although I havnt raced for a while now, but would like to get into it again. All my gear is just sitting on my work bench collecting dustgospeedgo said:The only 2 semi-local tracks left to my knoledge are A-Main in Vancouver (well, thats what it WAS called back when..) and Aero in Rockwood (outdoor). The fairgrounds track closed due to nobody wanting to help. Actually, we relocated it to Alpenrose for a year, and no electrics showed- and we still had noone wanting to help with the maintaining. I am pretty sure Salem (R/C Plus) is just outdoor now(for off-road), and focussed on 1/8.
I gotta get back into R/C one day. I worked in the industry for over 10 years...I miss it! Been eyeing the Xray NT18 but it aint out yet
