I like that track, but you should try it without the turn at the ball goal. Gives you a longer straight to wind them out.

Good luck with starting your club. It looks like you have everything you need. Track, Timing System and lot's of loaner cars. I have gotten several new people to race with us by lending out cars. I wish I had more.

Thanks for the compliments and encoragement

It’s been a lot of fun and a lot of work too the car repair bills are climbing. The local kids probably won’t ever get their own Z's but it may attract a few who might by seeing them run. yesterday was light on repairs only one servo gear set and one solder job I have to work on one that is very tweaked as soon as I get more track ill post more pic’s should be like next week I’ll keep you guy's informed as to what’s going on. I got another f1 yesterday its sweet hope to get these guys better I won’t let them run F1 till they get a lot better

Today I’m going to teach them how to maintain the Z’s if any show up for the work aspect of running Z’s

Try to advertise where the racers are ! Might be tough to start up off-site (not at a hobby shop) during Nitro season... but I'm sure if you throw down flyers at the right spots, you'll get some newbies/owners soon.

I'm looking to do the flea market day soon... you might want to try that as well. (Plus, you can sell all those super micro RC cars you just got !)

Good luck !

still toying with the idea of setting up at the flea market with all the track I have the problem it's help. it would be hard for me to run the track all day by myself. Sooner or later I'll find another addict who would want to take this to the next level
I wish I would just win a lotery and then I could have my own shop and play all day :p

I am jealous. We at Chattanooga R/C have a regular crowd of racers every thursday night and we dont have that much track :( or a lap timing system either. I think we need to change our club name to PBR (Poor Boyz Racing)

the guy that runs the Rec Center we rent from wants us to put on a big show in they Gymnasium around that time. If we could get together for that it would be really awesome.
