Default Do you have a track in your area?

Was curious how many people had an off-road track in their area for running their monster trucks.

People buy MT's more than anything, but only a tiny percentage race them so was curious how many people actually had a track in their area close enough to go to.

That's cool! I wonder what you had to go through with your local parks department to get them to approve that. Good idea for people that don't have a local track.

I voted yes. My brother and a friend and I built one in their back yard. It is about 6 miles from me. 2 Monster GTs and a Revo ( as of today) The revo gets broke in this week and run next saturday.. The camper top is now gone and is one heck of a jump..

I have a track about 2 hours away from me. It depends on what you're willing to drive in order to determine if that's in my "area" or not. I haven't been there either yet to race my MBX5T, I think I need to improve my driving first. I'll get there soon enough though, here's a link to the site:

I'm very lucky to have 2 tracks here in San Antonio and one in Austin. I race 2 times a weekend lately.

The closest to me is up in Enfield (RC Madness). Well over an hour away. Not worth it considering gas in our area is nearly at 4 bucks a gallon for 87.

Mine is about 20 mins away. Indoor 1/10th and smaller only. Kinda small but still fun, they just need to expand a lil.. Here's a vidof the last track design.(I think.. they change it pretty often[8D]).

No public tracks in BARSTOW. Just a big O desert with plenty of room to build one.......but who'll show up to somethin they don't know about. 30 min to Victorville, 40 to Hesperia but who knows what they have out there.........I'm stuck in the desert. Guess thats why people baja....cuz you're really just racing yourself.
