We are getting closer! We are going to roll carpet out next week and set the track up. Practice laps will happen a week from this Sunday 22nd we will open the doors about 10am and $10.00 for open practice and run some controlled heats possibly if there are enough guys. Let me know if you need more info. Sunday April 29 is going to be the first race of the 2012 summer carpet racing season. They are going to run their pan car classes(17.5 sportsman truck, 17.5 open and 13.5 COT) and they are willing to run the on-road classes and 17.5 EDM class also. The doors will open at 9AM and races will start at noon. They also want to get the Legend car class going as a spec class. These cars are cool and are very inexpensive. Check out the link if something like this interests you. www.rjspeed.com/kits/Legends/Legends.htmlIf you have any questions please feel free to message me and I will answer all the questions that I can. I would also like a little bit of a roll call so we can decide if it is going to work to run the classes we run at out club. Thank you everyone and I hope you support this track!!

There is a wheel chair lift. The building was the old American Legion. First weekend will be alittle slow since we are trying to figure everything out but it will be fun. I do recommend bring a power cord and strip if you have one. We are also going to need some help figuring out a onroad track since we have not ran on road in years. But we are welcoming all on road cars. We appreciate all your support and I do have a tenititve schedule that I will get posted here in the next couple of days. We are also.open for suggestions to help make things better to so if you make it down please feel free to make a suggestion.
Thanks Mike
If you have questions please call me 712.253.2818

Its under B&S R/C Speedway in Elk Point,SD if its not to much trouble. Here is a link. www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=358874Thanks Mike

Post it on RCTech rather then Hobbytown in my opinion.. RCTech gets wayyyy more traffic.
How many guys you think you have racing there besides the RCX group?

The racing was really good.. There was 38 entries. Chad s won Edm. Jeremy herde won touring and 1/12th scale and a guy named Ben sackett won both pan car classes. I ran second in the truck class. The track was really nice. It was a blast.

I had a blast running down there. The races went very smooth. I'm thinking I need to try the pan car thing. They look fun to drive so the next time I go down to race I will try and have one to race
