A new dirt oval has been built at Twin City Raceway for the purpose of racing Remote Control Cars. This will be a good and affordable way for people to get into racing. One class we are looking at running is the 1/18th scale Losi Mini-Late Models. These cars cost around $200, and are sold in the Kenai/Soldotna area at the Arctic Cat shop.

There are many classes we can run, but to help get things going, the 1/18 Losi Late model class looks to be the good and affordable route. They make electric and nitro versions of the late models, as well as the same for sprint cars. Buggys, Trucks, Electric, Nitro, etc....we could run a wide range of classes, but a cheap class that people can buy cars that are ready to race seems like the way to go.

Ya racing in the shop would be fun, and ya people keep coming up to me wanting to buy my car, its not even half done yet.

That is the great thing about RC racing though is that it can be done just about anywhere, and doesnt require alot of space. Nascar driver Tony Stewart owns an RC company named CustomWorks R/C, which specializes in remote sprint cars. These cars are top notch, and pretty expensive, but there are many other brands out there that make great cars also, that are much more affordable.

Many drivers like say they use RC Racing in the off season to keep their hand-eye coordination sharp.

Hey, this is Jim Lackey, I have been talking with Jackie and I am willing to donate time to help get the track ready, I have a 1/8 scale late model I am building right now and should have it ready in a couple of weeks. I have been racing at Lane's track for the last 3 years and I would really like to see this take off. Mark Carr and I have been trying to get things going on a bigger scale for a while. We do have a summer points series with the Anchorage club, Our next race is July 18th and 19th { I believe these are the right dates} I also do the corr trucks and crawlers. So if anybody needs help getting set up let me know.
Jim

Guys, I'm trying to decide on what to do with the racing surface. Currently its just dirt that I have groomed reletivlely smooth, and it packs pretty good. Dad suggested we put clay on it and pack it real hard and that will probably cut down on alot of the grooming and maintenance. We should probably decide what we should do with that before we proceed with putting up the walls. I have been gathering some wood for the wall posts. The area around the track definitly needs to be leveled and compacted better so that we can have a good parking area.

The track is a little rough right now however as i have been trying to smooth the infield and it has damaged the oval a bit. A few laps with the drag and it'll be good again.

Sweet, Im gonna go and get one too. I watched video of the 1/10 Sliders compared to the 1/18th Late models and the 1/10 Sliders seem faster and better suited for our dirt oval.

Jim, your welcome to help in any way you can on the rc oval. I was thinking about one of these nights going out and testing the track also, and maybe have a work party that night. Maybe you, me and josh can get together and hammer out a good plan. I am just trying to build it to look like the pictures I see on the web, but other then that you know better then me of how an rc track should be built. I am trying to figure out is what I am going to make the outside walls out of...??

About the clay, I just talked to Dad and if you guys haul any more out we'd like some dumped over on the other side of the pits behind the piles of guard rail and light poles. We need clay dumped there so we can spread it out and fill in the low spots, and expand our pits.
