cowboydfk · #1 03-29-2004, 10:33 PM

Any one doing any backyard bashing in or around pittsburgh? Also there is a offroad track under the elizabeth bridge. Does any one have any info on that.

Last I heard that track was closed. It may have reopened but I haven't heard of anyone running there in over a year. If you're looking to race, check out Moore's Offroad in Washington, PA (<- the track I run at) or McCullough's Offroad in Sarver, PA.

Thanks atm I currently do race at MCculoughs offroad on saterdays but I had hopes of finding some kinda track or patch of dirt closer to pittsburgh just for practice & fun. I was already kicked off the BMX track in southpark that wont work anymore. I wanted to try to make it out to moore's this spring. what is the track like there,do they have a web site? also there is talk of a steel city hobby shop with a indoor offroad track going in washington.did anyone here anything about this

JR (the track's owner) doesn't have a website, but I work at Hobby City and I have a race schedule for Moore's on the store's webpage right now (click on my www button) and I hope to get some pics and other stuff up once the season starts. Its a pretty nice track; its not blue groove like McCullough's and its almost all nitro cars but its still a good time. I'm going to try making it out to Sarver a few times this summer to run 1/8 buggy and if I'm in the mood, 1/10 gas truck.

Buggyracer28 · #7 06-30-2004, 07:37 AM

hey cowboy.... If you email me at dlgemme@adelphia.net for pics of the track, I will give them to you if you really want them.

cowboydfk · #8 06-30-2004, 05:36 PM

Are you talking about pictures of Moore's Track

Buggyracer28 · #9 07-01-2004, 01:25 PM

yes i am...

Buggyracer28 · #10 07-01-2004, 04:34 PM

hey andrew, the next time we go moore, one of us has to remember to tell JR that rochesterrc.com gives tracks free websites. I know a guy that works there and he gave me free decals, it was pretty cool. They are on my truck right now!

cowboydfk · #11 07-01-2004, 09:27 PM

Oh! we raced there about two months ago. Thanks

Buggyracer28 · #12 07-03-2004, 08:16 AM

There is a rc. drag race going on at Heinz feild on august 1st. Is anybody building a car for this event.If so feel free to post here

atm92484_3 · #14 07-04-2004, 04:43 PM

I thought that was only 1:1 racing? Who is running the RC ones and where can I get info? That just may be an excuse to drop a P5 into a NTC3....

Are you running in the Big Buck race this upcoming weekend cowboy? After seeing how many cars that new lay-out ate up last night, it should be some very interesting racing.

cowboydfk · #15 07-04-2004, 06:37 PM

I thought it was rc. racing . Let me find some more info on this. Undecided on the big buck challenge. And yes the new track configuration is pretty wild

cowboydfk · #16 07-05-2004, 08:23 PM

Ok the racing at Heinz Feild is full scale and RC. mostly 1/10 but they will line up anything you bring.

savageP3 · #17 07-05-2004, 10:23 PM

when is it?

Buggyracer28 · #18 07-06-2004, 08:59 AM

August 1st. He said. Thats sweet!!!! I might just go with my stock pbs. lol. If i get one. I have great news! Someone wants to buy my car for $250 shipped. I asked $260 shipped. Ill see what he says, if he says no, then ill do $250 shipped.

cowboydfk · #19 07-12-2004, 04:19 PM

Just a update for the drag event. The entry fee is $15.00 for the first class $5.00 for the next.The touring car race is $10.00 for the first and $5.00 for the next.They will also have a timming system for the drag racing and I'm guessing there will be a christmas tree. So is anybody going to this even? Post up.

Buggyracer28 · #20 07-15-2004, 11:35 AM

nvm, i didnt get a pbs. lol. i got a xtm x-terminator pro. I still might go. Ill get burned though.

atm92484_3 · #21 07-15-2004, 07:41 PM

If I don't head up to McCullough's that Saturday, I'll probably race my Nitro TC3; haven't decided on drag racing or touring car racing yet though. Either way I'll be at Hobby City's booth both days more than likely.

Buggyracer28 · #22 07-15-2004, 08:32 PM

You have a nitro tc3??!?!?!?!?!? I never knew that... I was pretty sure u had a electric 1 but not nitro. You should convert it to rally and drive it on the track. lol.
