I am building a track in Shippensburg, PA and I am in need of some imput. It is a banked clay oval / offroad track. The area designated for the track is 85 feet by 160 feet. I have 1,200 tons of clay so far for the development of the track. I bought a JCB Backhoe loader for moving the clay around, and for putting a 100 by 200 foot steel building over the track for year round racing by winter 2006. I am interested in your opinions about what jumping sections are the most popular with offroad guys. Also I built a drivers stand that has a 6.5' platform. I am just stumped on how to make this track a successful track that wont be closed in 2 years. My last tracks were indoor and outdoor onroad tracks and they didn't fare out well. Any suggestions, or anyone in the area interested in helping on making this track work. Thanks

I have a bunch of 1/8 scale buggy guys come by today to give input on the track. So far I have about a dozen of possible racers. It looks like this spring I may be able to get the races going, especially since I bought my AMB unit. A couple of excavation companies are giving me quotes for grading and rolling the track. Still need more input so please, any info is helpful... What would you like at your local tracks? Thanks

[RCCARTMAN]

WOW, is there no one in my area?... or just no one interested in helping?

[RCCARTMAN]

Help anyone. I am looking for someone with experience to run the races. I have the new AMB Lap counting system. Please call my shop or message me. (717)530-5200. We will be racing Saturday and Sunday this year.

What classes are you planing on runing at the track? Me and a buddy run mod buggy at pit stop hobbies in mt joy and we are looking to run at another track this year.We are also geting into 1/8 scale nitro buggies this year.I live in Spring Grove pa.Shouldn't be to bad of a haul for us.

[gpg28]

Also what day are you planing on runing oval and which day for offroad?

[RCCARTMAN]

So far our plan is to run offroad Saturday and Oval Sunday, but the oval is up in the air, because no one will commit to the oval racing. We will try oval on Sundays for a month and if no one show or not enough show up we will race offroad both days. I am hopeful that we can have 2 good race days no matter what people race. If we have the oval we will race all types of vehicles on the oval, as all types for the offroad. Sorry for the delay to respond. We will be running nitro, gas (1/6 scale), and electric powered vehicles... we will also accomodate every type of vehicle regardless of engine size, and multiple speed transmission. We are about 30 minutes from Hanover, PA. Hope that was helpful. Keep checking my website for updates, and register for emailed updates. www.garlandsrccarland.com

I have a forum now http://www.garlandsrccarland.com/forum We are still looking someone to operate our Lap Counting System.

We are racing on Fathers Day. We hope to see some 1/8 Buggies, Monsters, 1/10 Electric and Nitro Trucks and Buggies, as well as some 1/6 scale to get the class rolling. Anybody with a BAJA 5B come on out against the FG... lets see what you've got?

[RCCARTMAN]

Heres is a photo of the track before we add the table top, cross section, step downs, and kickers.

[RCCARTMAN]

It is hard to get the entire track in the photo and due any justice to the ever improving conditions.

[RCCARTMAN]

VISIT my forum! G's Forum I need some input on ways to gets racers to show. Thanks

[RCCARTMAN]

I am looking for some help with the track setup. ANYONE interested. We want the track to have an immense kick hip for major speed increase. Whoooosh

[RCCARTMAN]

IS ANY HERE IN PA interested in some offroad racing. I just don't get it... I can't get good turn out for racing, or responses or even any interest. Maybe if I list this thread as ALTOONA people will respond haha

[RCCARTMAN]

Any central PA tracks want to run a circuit ... let me know. I will do an oval or offroad circuit. Thanks

[RCCARTMAN]

Racing has been pretty pathetic. I am probably going to take on a partner (financial or working) to put up the East Coasts Largest INDOOR GAS POWERED READY R/C TRACK. I see other tracks suceeding and I try to promote my track, but no improvements on turnouts. I mean as far as I know I have the largest Banked OVAL/OFFROAD track within 100 miles (160' by 85'). I treat my customers as good as I can, still no loyalty or interest. Before having a store of my own, I bought from other shops and was treated pretty crappy at some shops. I tried to give my business to shops that were decent to their customer base. Well who knows what this business has in store for me, but it is very rough now. People think that shops make a bunch of money on vehicles sales... not the case. I can't even get responses on a forum, that derives from a National Publication based on RADIO CONTROLLED VEHICLES... SAD... but I will keep trying until something gives.
