The venue IS accessible from Chicago via Public Transportation and a 12 min walk. So those of you from the city that can't normally race R/C due to a lack of real car, you can take the Metra out.

Google map of the Metra line


And the street view that shows the building on the right and the spot in the fence that has an access way. If you put in 1200 lind ave it takes you around but there is opening in the fence if you are walking.

We expanded the Nov. HFAY layout for the later half of our meeting. Basically joined it to our large oval that was next to the track.

I was having a good day with my start reflexes. Our member David took a video of one race. This isn't the whole race. Craig and I are in our own "class" as we run the pn70t. The rookies race the stock Kyosho motor.

I must say when watching the video, all I see are mistakes
