Default Racing



I will say this. Racing nitro 1/8 buggies/truggies has been the most intense experience to-date for my son and I. Man, if you're a wrencher you got to get in to this, It's insane! It's so much fun an addictive, and everyone is so friendly. Andrew is shocked at how many people are int to "the hobby". The best part is you can get a ZILLIONtips/tricks from folks, andmod your car for a constent environment Of course I love bashing much (who the hell doesn't?), but racing is taking it to another level. Wow



If you get the chance....Go Racing!

No exterior tracks close enough to my home to allow for me to race. Too many months of the year with temps too low as well. Need a heated well ventilated indoor arena that would allow for nitro racing with air scrubbers and such. I would be there every weekend if someone had the bucks to open one. While my area does have some well off people who could afford to do this, too much of it is dependent on welfare to consider rc racing as a viable option. Good news, 5 more murdered in Bmore over the weekend, population reduction going as planned.

We had an indoor track in my area, sadly lack of customers forced it's closing. Luckily we have a pro outdoor offroad track here. It's a lot of fun on the weekends. I don't see racing in my future though, really have a hard time keeping up with my kids and mine equipment just bashing around. Racing would just take my addiction to a whole other level that I'm not sure my wife could handle.

All we have around here is a very small outdoor onroad track. I used to race onroad back a while ago and while it was fun, id much rather race off road. AFAIK, there are no off road tracks any where near me, so bummer for me.

No, not yet. We've been so focused tuning vehicles for the track I've not had a chance to capture anything. I''ll definitely be rolling some file this week during Andrew's race. The only thing I have on my track is us running it for the first time in our RTR cars a 3-4 months ago (you can see on our YouTube channel). This got us hooked. We're both a zlllion times better now running race-specific vehicles, and the B-Main is going to know there is new competition. Ha! I like that track in your photos. I've not run at any other tracks, but ours seems pretty techniical based on all the other tracks I've seen.
