Do we need a track in College Station?

[huggins989]

I moved to College Station in October and can't find a RC Shop or Off Road track anywhere close (yes I know about the ones in Houston but it's over an hour and a half away) I work for Caterpillar doing sales and training on the smaller machines ( skidsteers, mini excavators ect...). So I have the equipment to build the track but I'm not sure how much of a demand there is for a track. Anyone????

I was at school at A&M for the past year and there are 2 tracks that are not running anymore. I found this out by the people in the hobby shop in bryan which isnt a very good shop at all. Head north on Hwy6 Exit Hwy190 turn right and about 1-2 miles its on your left...they also sale trailers...its direclty across from the airport. It would be great to have an rc track down there!!!

is there any gates or anything? It might be cool to head up there on sundays when nobodys around.

Still looking for some land to build a track:confused:

I understand the desire to build a track it sounds really cool but what about until the idea can be completed ? where does everyone go now?>

[huggins989]

That's the problem, I can't seem to find any other R/Cers or a place to run my Mugen truggy. Spinning doughnuts at a baseball field dosen't really appeal to me. The cloest track to C/S is in Houston, 2hrs each way. So that is why I am looking for a piece of land to build a track on. I have the construction equipment to build it and it only takes about 1 day to build one. I have built several BMX, Motorcross and R/C tracks.

We should just take over a vacant field somewhere guerrilla style :D

Ah yes, the old debate of a track in my hometown. lol

There was a guy (his name was Kevin, I think) that tried his best to set up a track out at the old motocross track out at Jones road (the former site of flip and spin rc). This was a few years ago and I have since lost contact with him. The closing of the HobbyTown USA next to best buy was a bit of a blow. I wouldn't mind seeing a track in C.S. again, but I just don't think it will happen.

ah well i am here to stay now and so is my firestorm so maybe to start off we can run on a vacant lot with some shovels? anything? ha i know its grasping but i just slammed a OS 18crvx in it and i wanna run with some fellow rcers!:D

I also live in college station and would be interested in find or helping build a track.

I do mainly RC rockcrawling. I am involved in a Houston club, they come here, mainly to Bee Creek, and we go to Houston also.

I do have a vehicle to run on a track, well...to play on a track. I don't have much time to get it started but I do have enough time for upkeep.
