There is a pretty nice indoor track at R/C Unlimited (formerly Castle Hobbies) at the corner of Bascom and Union. It is free, and they are going to put in a lap timer at some point.
Went by R/C Unlimited in San Jose today, and the PVC pipe track is gone. In its place is a huge slotcar track. I asked if Mini-Z racing was still going to happen there and was told that the slotcar track could be used for it. One less Mini-Z racing place.

I'm confused. Why do you say one less Mini-Z racing place?
You can race just fine on their slot car tracks and they are pretty sweet tracks. The only problem, though not a serious one, is the tracks are raised so if you fall off you could damage your car. That being said, I have falen off many times and so far have not done any damage to my car.
The only other "problem" is if they have a group of slot car racers come in they will rent them their main track, but you can always race on the other one. :-)

I live up in Alviso I ran a search & found this thread. Where do you live in San Jose?
What really sucks is I have problems getting to places since I don't have a ride. Transit & bike 4 me
I live in Milpitas. I haven't been down there in awhile, so I don't know if things have changed or not. I just haven't had time to race and then my younger son took my car apart to do a custom paint job and he hasn't put it back together yet!
If a group of us goes there again I'll send you an email.
Hey for you guys close to Milpitas and San Jose I have a track up in Newark up on 880 and we race on Fridays and some weekends around 530PM to whenever.

I'm interested, too. It'd be cool to race somewhere other than TokyoTekki and sometime other than Sunday afternoon (that means I have to miss NASCAR racing).
Cool, always good to know there are drivers around!
I will add you guys to our email invite every week on Wednesdays. We are actually racing on Thursday this week because of the holiday tomorrow so I will add you guys to the invite for next Friday so hope you guys can make it.
Hey Ernon I need an email address so I can send this info to you, so just reply back or email me directly at bovinedevine@yahoo.com
Ouch weekdays. I'm gonna have to be counted out. I don't think I can take transit (lightrail or bus) to Newark.
I know what you mean about missing NASCAR...Thats a prob I'm trying to solve. Maybe I cam borrow my mom's mini battery powerd T.V so I can watch on the train.
