Have you all seen this great episode featuring our very own Tom Rinderknecht RC?

Tom put in a TON of work on the new carpet over the course of this year, and made sure it paid off at the INS. Not only has he put in the work, but he also continues to share his findings with our local racers to help them improve their own race programs.

It’s so unfortunate to see so many tracks announcing they have to close. Get out and support your local tracks and hobby shops!

Sorry to post this , but we closing the doors, selling the property . August 15th will be our last oval race . We will continue our normal racing the with oval and offroad until that date.

There is talk among us friends and racers to move everything to another location, but nothing solid yet.

The sale of the property next to us jacking up our tax value and property insurance doubling , it dont make any financial sense to stay at this location while its bleeding me dry and keep the track going the way it is.
Side note with as many tracks that keep popping up and more on the way ?? You see the trend and car count diminishing at each location.

Those in the ac pit room will receive a pro rated refund for the time left after August 15th .

Ive made a whole bunch of new friends with this rc adventure, thanks for being part of the fun and hopefully we all can enjoy rc fun at other places in the near future

August 15th the lone star series race will be our last race . After that date all equipment will be for sale .
2 timing systems with 4.4 firmware // pending
40-50 tables
Pa system
Hobby shop inventory
Porta johns
Golf cart with sprayer. // Pending
D.r drag
Hobby shop glass cases and so on .

If someone wants the r.d booth and drivers stand those will be available for free after August 15th if your putting in a track , but that labor is on you to remove.

More info later.

Thanks for understanding !

Congratulations to our podium finishers from Round #3 of the Summer Points Series! Thanks to those that came to race with us yesterday!

We’ll be back on July 11th for Round #4.

We’re back to our regularly scheduled program for the next couple of months! We’ve got Summer Points races every other weekend starting this Saturday and taking us into August.

Stay tuned for more details for the Avid/Hobbywing trophy race in August.

Also, we have a new rule moving forward: all short course trucks and stadium trucks must put tape over the sharp ends of the front body clips prior to going on track. We’ve found the body clips grab and tear the carpet when they flip upside down and slide across the carpet. Please help us protect our carpet. We will make sure there’s plenty of tape available for our racers.

It’s been a little over a week since we hosted Round 3 of the JConcepts Indoor Nationals Series and what a great week of racing it was! The new carpet held up really well over all 4 days of practice and racing and provided us with some really tight racing. It was the largest entry count we’ve ever had and the competition level in each and every class was stacked.

A big thank you to everyone that helps put together events like this. First, we owe a big thank you to Tom McCleary and Suzanne Bartenhagen McCleary for providing us with such an amazing facility. Thank you to Kristy Ruse for running the front end and being so welcoming to all the racers. Thank you to all our locals that helped prep the track and the pits. Thank you to Elite RC Productions for running a smooth and efficient event, as well as providing excellent marketing and the online broadcast. A big thank you to JConcepts Inc for putting faith in us year after year to host this prestigious event that’s only grown and gotten better each year. And lastly, thank you to all the racers that came out to race with us. Your support means everything to us and we’re thrilled to hear so many of you had a great time.
