Wanted: St. Paul, MN area racing locations

[TheSpectre5000]

Does anyone know of any racing stadiums in the ST. PAUL, MN area?.... I'm looking into opening up my own, but the problem is land, and a community that will let you race outdoors, w/ the noise, many locations do not work.

Unfortunately there is 2 locations in the Twin Cities that have closed it's doors or is about to. Hobby Zone in Eagan Minnesota will be done racing on August 29th. Twin Cities Hobby and Raceway in Brooklyn Park closed on June 15th.

Currently there is a Mini Racing track that will be opening in South St. Paul at Croatian Hall in October:

I and many racers from Hobby Zone and Twin Cities Hobby and Raceway are looking for a new track to race at in the near future for Off road racing.

they said that they are going to be keeping the track to hobby zone just closing the hobbyshop and moving to a smaller shop in PLYMOUTH!

it hurts to say it
i loved that store

but i gotta get there and soak up all the good deals i can 35-75% of everything!

DUDE they are keeping the track????

[novellahub]

They are not gonna have a track at the Plymouth location. It will be a aircraft / helicopter / general rc type of place. No R/C cars.

[t44ever]

ya i know but they are going to keep that track here in eagan for awhile atleast

because the guy with the autolap counter is still living here

they said they couldnt afford the rent beacuse they wernt getting much buisness because everybody is buying off the internet i.e towerhobbies, stormer hobbies. ect.

The physical track will be there a bit longer. It will be torn down before the store closes. John Bolten who runs the races is moving to Iowa at close to the end of August / Early September.

i was just in there the other day and they said that they got a permit or somthing like that to get it and they are going to keep it up a little longer

im sure i missed somthing there but thats mostly what i heard

[associatedude92]

[novellahub]

The racing will done at the Hobby Zone track on August 29th. No decision has been made to extend the racing into September. The physical store will be open until the end of September. Sometime before the end of September the track will be torn down...

For all the guys in MN, please check out the drag racing scene.

We have cars going over 80 mph every weekend.
Best part is, Roy and I own the system, and the school lets us run for next to nothing. No closing because the rent is too high!!!
20 cars entered at the last race. 3 classes. From "run what you brung" to Top Fuel Funny Car.
