Colorado Mini-z Racing
Is there interest in the Denver area or near cities for a facility to run and race Mini-z's? I own 105 acres in Colorado, just south/west of Denver and looking to promote the hobby in the area. I have an off road dirt track in construction currently for all scales of racing as well as an RC plane runway in the planning stages. Looking to house a hobby store and Mini-z racing facility within a large building on the property. There is a natural stream that runs through a portion of the property and looking to dam up at some point and create a pond for RC boat use. I am building a home on the property and moving up to Colorado in September. I commute back and forth from Los Angeles currently, but plan on settling down in Colorado.

that's sounds like a nice place, and not terribly far from me. Hope something gets worked out.

Hey Brian, how far are you from the 70? I drive through Utah once a month. Can take a left to come visit sometime.

My trains are all modified with batteries and transmitters. Don't have to worry about the tracks getting dirty with RC/battery trains.

I live in Denver and race mini-z nearly every month. I run various configs of two-wide L in my garage and a friend of mine built a dirt track in his basement to run the buggies. I'd be interested in stopping by once you get things set up.

Yes, for sure. I will keep you in the loop and send an invite when I have something for you to run on.
thanks

Somebody certainly has a very understanding Wife/Mother. Although since it is in Colorado, with some additional high intensity lighting, there is revenue producing potential in the off season.
