Hey Bricklin - I live in sanford and am thinking of hitting one of the SC tracks soon, could you tell me which one is the closest? Will I see you guys in goldsboro this weekend? I'm the guy who posted on your websight a while back, I'll have to stop at the track and say hi next time, maybe get Will to eyeball my car for a second or two :D ...

[bricklin]

we're gonna try to go to goldsboro but the weather is iffy right now. run these on mapquest . the proving grounds sumter, sc, badlands myrtle beach, sc, 17-a summerville, sc, ora atomic racers aiken, sc, dirtslingers hartsville, sc, rc connection easley, sc the grove rock hill ,sc, extreme raceway york, sc and fod augusta, ga. the closest nc off road track to you is in vass, nc sandhills raceway. we've got 2 tracks near us in greensboro running in march. king rc in king, nc and stokesdale rc raceway in stokesdale, nc. check out the site to see who's running each week. www.ncorra.com . see ya

Bricklin - thanks for the info, I am about 15 minutes from sandhills I guess i consider that my local track, but i've raced at king and have there new schedule, is the stokesdale track gas off roadd? I would be interested in that one, also, I guess I was just trying to figure out which track in SC was the closest to nc boarder is all, any guestimates? I think the one in aiken is probably the best bet? thanks again...

I live in Morrisville, close to Raleigh. My son and are definitely into touring cars, nitro and electric. I can't think of a close-by place any better than The RC Speedway in Durham. Don Hill is a great guy who'll always stop to give advice and tips to newcomers, as well as helping out someone in trouble. Brad (Mindblown Modifieds) does a great job of manning the hobby shop, and what other track is located next to a REAL snack bar where you can get decent burgers, dogs, pizza and ice cream???? After Don cut off the bottom end of the road track and turned it into dirt, yeah, it made the road course a little smaller, but better in my mind. It's a nice TECHNICAL layout where control and smooth racing help offset any speed deficit you might have. And walk ten feet or so and you can "do it in the dirt" too. If you don't want to race it first, try it on a Sunday when you can practice. You all should give it a try....I think you'll like it...and if you do, spread the word...let's get some big crowds out there!!!
