Coquitlam Area Model Racing Club in New Westminster, British Columbia, operates a track open seven days a week at Pipeline Road in the Upper Coquitlam River Park. A club membership allows discounted racing fees, including reduced assessments for new and returning members, and also a reduction for junior members under age 16. Races feature nitro-powered cars and the club allows new RC hobbyists a chance to use the club transponders to operate cars.

Went and ran 4 battery packs this afternoon.. Pretty good track.. 400ft away is a rc airfield too.

Compact base, dusty bumpy surface

Can't wait to get back to racing on Sunday..

First raceway is done.. 9 heats/rnd.. Good track and some pretty decent guys.

Finished 6th in the A with a severly under powered and undergeared car..couldn't even make the doubles, I ran a 10.5 most had 6.5 or less.. And was the first raceday with it..

thanks..its quite a bit dirtier now.. but cant wait to get back and be able to get a couple of them racing together..

did you have a preoblem with the rear shafts being too short and falling out/jaming the drive cups?.. i did.. and the have a fix for the king pin issue now.. the pins are replaced with long bolts and nuts on the back..

Yep I did. I replaced the rear dog ones with another set of fronts (96mm) . No more problems. How did you get the warranty parts so quickly? I'm still waiting for those.
