Hi,
New here and to the R/C community. My Son is starting out, currently has a rock racer and a rally car coming for Christmas. Would like to bring him out to the odd practice night. Where is the indoor track and are you still holding practice nights Wed/Thu?

Currently in the stages of moving to a new facility. The new facility is in the Keating area, not sure of the exact address. It is on Sean Heights off Bryn Rd., which runs off Oldfield Rd. just south of Keating X Rd. We should be up and running by Dec.10, the schedule should stay the same as the existing schedule for race and practice nights.
If you haven't already purchased the Xmas present, check out the facility first. There may be some used equipment for sale and there is a hobby shop on site.

Hi all,
There is no club racing this Saturday night (Jan 13), but Paul is organizing a work party for Sunday morning (Jan 14) at 10:00AM to flatten out the floor at the track and do some general cleanup before we re-install the track next week.
See ya there,
