I personally got a lot out of the old 2006 thread, so I thought I'd start a new one....

Anyone going to the Swap meet at Boulder City on January 19th? I'm taking a little cash, but mainly, I want to run on the track. I've watched a couple of races there, and thought it would be cool to "Test and Tune" there.

Hope to see some of you guys out there!


Thanks,

Tod

all events will be listed on sin city rc. We have a calender, list of events that have been released, track locations, forum dedicated for just southern nevada. The site was just upgraded to a better system that intergrated the forum into the site itself, but that made all of the registrations on the old forum invalid.

I didn't make it to BC today, but I did make it to Finishline for a few quick shots.

Also, for some R/C rock crawling photos from the W.E. Rock event, visit the following RCU thread: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_47...mpage_3/tm.htm

thanks for the info

Tigger N. Bennie

You're welcome.

And here at RCX 2007....

Bigedmond

These 2 tracks are basically closed. Boulder city's track is a private track, and as of now is only for national level races. Outer Limits is closed to the public permanently.

Tigger N. Bennie

QSARA runs the BC track and there are numerous people with keys to the track. There are also "open" days. As far as Outer Limits is concerned, I already wrote "private".

My Feedback: (6)

what tracks do you guys go to?

Tigger N. Bennie

Lately, I've been taking a lot more photos (at most tracks) than racing though I used to race 1/8th scale offroad buggy at Finishline most Saturdays. When running my 1/5th scale Baja5B, it is the Silverbowl track for me though some of my photos were taken at the Boulder City offroad track. Basically, it depends on what you whether you want to race, bash, and the type of track. Myself, I have a type of car for every type of track from 1/4 scale and smaller, onroad, offroad, which doesn't count my boats or helis.

Here are a few photos I took at RCX today....

well right now i race 1/8 off road buggy and truggy, ive been wanting to buy the baja b5 but really didnt have any place here in ohio to run it but i plan on picking one up when i move to nevada.

The following was posted on S-Grid egarding the Boulder City offroad track, "going to be announcing a race schedule within the next couple of days. It will be one weekend a month." Also attached are a few more RCX photos; however, there are more photos on my website. I also plan to add photos of the NHRA Museum to my website though it will probably be after the Las Vegas Grand Prix since I'll be taking photos over the next three days.

Tigger N. Bennie

Anyone attending the Grand Prix? I took the attached photo through a window after I had lunch at the World Market Center. I also took 100's of close up photos and more to go.

Bigedmond

Sin City RC is now adding crawling to the site, and we will have a small river rock course. We are only doing this because Sean from vegascrawlerz said he is done with his site. It got hacked a few days ago, so Sean is joining the Sin City Family as the lead for Rock Crawling. We are proud to have him on board since he is primarily the guy that brought rock crawling to Vegas.

Tigger N. Bennie

Too bad about the website. I've met a few of the guys at Finishline and more at W.E. Rock during the demo. Who knows, I may eventually get an RCP Crawler though I probably wouldn't have time to run it (just like the new heli). Below are some sample photos from the Grand Prix--nothing special, just something I picked at random.

Also, here is the proposed Boulder City off-road track schedule taken from the Starting Grid.

MAY-19th PM
JUN-16th PM
JUL-14th PM
AUG-18th PM
SEP-15th PM
OCT-20th DAY
NOV17th DAY
DEC-15th DAY

A few night photos from Finishline tonight (and one from the drag strip today for the heck of it).
