We ofter run a novice class on Wednesday nights, so if your kids would like to participate in racing this can be a fun night for them.

Thursday nights are nitro practice nights. Any form of nitro powered RC can be run on the track during practice. If you also own an electric RC and do not mind the nitro fumes you are welcome to run your electric RC's on the track at this time also.

Friday nights are reserved for electric only practice. Any form of electric RC may be ran on the track. Practice nights are a great time for anyone who has never ran their RC on a track before to come down and try their hand at it. We are happy to help children learn the hobby. This is the perfect night to do just that. Stop by, we have several RC's we can let you run on the track for FREE. This offer is limited to people who do not own an RC and are interested in joining the hobby.

Saturdays can get confusing, but here goes.

On the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month we will run a Nitro race in the morning starting at 10:00AM. Nitro racing is open to any form of nitro powered RC that show up. We will also allow electric RC racing during this time. Many of the nitro racers also have electric RC's that they like to race at the same time they are at the track for nitro racing.

On the 2nd and 4th (and the occational 5th) Saturday or each month, we will be hosting an Electric race in the morning starting at 10:00AM. This is open to all forms of electric RC racing. We also encourage the young drivers to come out at this time. We will focus on the "how to" of the hobby and work with the young drivers to make them understand the rules, and work with them on learning to drive their RC's in racing conditions.

Every Saturday night starting at 6:00PM is Electric racing open to all electric RC's. Same details as Wednesday nights.
