Like I said, they have no proof and just bash or probably don't even have a car that they say they run. It's a darn shame though some people do that.

Ha, if you think there are a lot of mouthy kids in this forum, try the Monster trucks!! It's like you have to be 14 years old with a bad attitude to own one! OK, only kidding, it's not that bad (no offense to the many serious monster truckers) but it does seem like that sometimes.

They are some realistic track "very nice". Our track at the local hobby shop is in a parking lot made from PVC pipe. It sucks compared to some of these tracks.

My friend at least you have track, so you test your skills, so you are an rc DRIVER not just a hobbiest who only cares about top speed...
Nomatter what te track is one thing is for sure: driving skills > car speed

Here's another pick of my home track, Sab posted up on it early.
This is our local indoor carpet Track at South Shore Hobby and Raceway
Another local Upstate track, it's a parking lot that they use.
There were many other tracks in the area but, clubs have run into issues, but some will be coming back this year.

Yep the track up here in BPT has that issue. It's owned by the city so you have to go to the DPT of recreation to hold an event. The HRs of the track for nitro running is 10am-6pm. Electrics can be ran earlier, but not many run electric up here. I'd think it'd be a great track to hold some elec TC or 1/12th pan car events though. 
Regardless I like floyds track better as there is more pit space and it's not near houses.

Here is a little rookie RC Promo vid I made of Racing a Floyd Bennit Field. The wind is strong and the Camera's shakey so it's the least you could expect

Some clips BK hobbies shop owner took of some events. Ofcourse more 8th onroad vids as sedan isn't as popular. That and most seem to believe 8th you get more respect for running.

floyd bennet's really nice, especially after it's been repaved. i just dont like when they have the lond piece of wood over one of the corners, it looks like you're about to hit a wall.

Well there is only one dedicated track and lots of LHS lot tracks in my immediate area (Dallas, TX).
RCRCNT is pretty fun. Not glass smooth but it is a great balance of speed and technical skill.

Houston area has a nice track I have yet to run.
Gulf Coast Raceway

This is our old track. Weve since moved to the parking lot of Homestead Miami speedway. Its a semi-permanent track (it needs to be taken down twice a year for NASCAR and IRL), so were allowed to make changes to the poavment and stuff, we are trying to make it nicer then this one. the new track has been designed by PRO racer Art carbonell, and is awesome.
