Hi all,

Just thought I would post a few pics of our track out here in Kuwait. I've had a few request for pictures of it so here it is. Hope you all enjoy!

That's a nice track, how many people have rc cars that race on it? I bet RC mags would publish those shots.

Mostly Online. Mainly because of the better prices and better selection. Theres is a hobby shop in downtown Kuwait City, but only us contracters can go down there. However, that is where we all have to buy our fuel from.


Actually I'm not sure how many sand bags we're used, but my guess is alot. The guys at the command cell at Camp Buehring put alot of work and effort into making that track what it is today.


We have aproximately 20-25 people with MT's/Buggys/stadium trucks. When we run heats we will usually run 5-6 vehicle races. MT's seems to do best out here because they can take anything the track dish's out (rocks, sand, etc) plus most everyone out here has MT's so it makes it more fun.

I actually have a video coming from our races thats almost finished. I just have to get a little more footage this weekend and it should be complete sometime next week. For anyone out there who likes Motley Crue, you should enjoy the video.

Thanks for all the intrest!

do the trucks take small arms fire while your driving them?

I like the sandbags. must have been a killer to set up.

No the trucks do not take small arms fire, However some of the drivers do from other drivers. We are relatively safe here in Kuwait. I have seen Bonks Vidio It is SWEET. Hopefully he will post it here for you to all enjoy.

Hello all,
I work for the command cell and also race .when this all started we pushed sand around and made a small oval beside our living quarters.It became a little load for the soldiers that worked 2nd shift.So we move it right side .and came up with what we have now.This is actually the 3rd track design.The 2nd was also fashioned from sand.The current one has 5 to 7 hundred sand bags lining it. Alot of sweat went into it. We even have a water supply and pump to wet the track prior to all the races.We all are proud of it!!

hell yeah, that is great. glad you guys can have some fun over there!.
I think an RC mag should do a nice 5 page write up on our boys (and girls) bashing in the line of duty.

Hey whats up man, I am here at Ali Al Salem in Kuwait an am trying to get a track built. It has been a pain in the ass with all the politics and crap to get it built . Anyways it would be nice if i could run over to your alls base and run my truck. What is the name of the Store you all are getting your gas from. All I can find is 16% and my truck doesnt like it very much. Anyways stay safe and we'll talk to ya later
