Anybody?

R/C clubs?
Maybe RadioActive in BoilingBrook or the HobbyTown in Chicago.
A drive from Chicago to Dekalb(might be to long) is a great track.
AJ's Raceway has indoor oval & roadcoarse.
Outdoors is a off-road track, asphalt oval & roadcoarse.

I recently heard of one that races at Harper college in Palatine (I think). It's a mobile track and they race a couple of weekends a month I think. When I find their link I'll post it.

RJB, What kind of car do you have? I live in St. Charles and have a large back yard 12 acres. I have a large but flat track out there and I would like to start a club for 1/8 scale buggies and 1/10 scale. Interested? I figure if we got enough people together we could really upgrade the track with some jumps and some tabletops woopdies now its a flat out speed track with 2 lond straight aways 60 yards or so with long sweeping turns at each end.

If your into Monster Truck Racing check out the Monsters & Sled Dragons. Its a Chicago based club that does scale Monster Truck & Tuff truck racing. R/C pulling is also done from time to time. A new race series is set to start this fall in Libertyville,IL at Venture Raceway.

Merkel54,

Sorry it took so long to reply. I don't have a car/truck/buggy yet but I'd be interested once I do. Hopefully soon.

I run the track at Harper (R/C Raceway) but we are selling the track at the end of this season, just 2 more races left. So now I am starting a club for all of you R/C enthusiasts, a way to let everyone that joins know when and where we will be running on any given weekend. It's FREE to join, you need to send me your info though and I will add you to the official member list. Please go to www.sharingideas.com (http://www.sharingideas.com) and click on the Club 2001 link for details. So if Merkel54 still wants to get people out to his back yard the club would be given a date and time and whoever wants to go would go (for example).

Thanks,
