Dirt Oval Racing in Waco Tx

[griz11]

Actually its in Robinson on the south side of Waco. R/C Speedway and hobby shop has indoor facilities with a snack bar and plenty of pit space. The track is excellent. Hard packed clay and very smooth. Nice banking and its fast.

The nitro EDM is based on a RC10GT. Altered suspension and a different body. They are fast and wild. I'm going to put one together soon.

Is this track still open? I used to run dirt oval at the old place on La Village ave. (in Hewitt). I went out to try to find this place in Robinson today and I couldn't find it. The number I have for the place in Robinson also doesn't seem to work. Does any one in CenTex know what happened to the old R/C Raceway & Hobbies in Waco? Better yet, does anyone know if there is still even a (dirt oval) track in Waco or Temple to run at? :confused:

Man, it has been a long time since I have done any racing. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
