Title: Off-Road Fun Racing Track
Post by: Coastal007 on August 22, 2010, 11:31:57 PM
Saturday August 28 (weather permitting) COR will be hosting a fun racing event behind Ashleys Furniture in Langford.
Here's the location: http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&q=Langford+parkway&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Langford+Pkwy,+Langford,+Capital+Regional+District,+British+Columbia&layer=c&cbll=48.443179,-123.515906&panoid=s9-c1hFOD-e2jYKFRr0QYg&cbp=12,233.63,,0,5&ll=48.443152,-123.515725&spn=0.023031,0.033131&t=h&z=15

This is an open event and if you wish to help out with track setup head out around 11am.
Race Time: 12pm-4pm

1/10 scale 2wd SC trucks and buggies work the best on this temporary track location but bring out what you have and give it a run!!

We wouldn't recommend using a nitro vehicles in this area since its right beside a residential area and there's a walkway right beside the track too.

Hope to see you there...

Sorry, Nathan and I can't make it out today as we have other stuff going on this Saturday.  It would be great to get out tomorrow but it looks like rain... we're hoping next Sunday works out weather wise and we can get out for a race.  We'll definitely keep you in the loop the next time we can get a group of us together!!
We'll be driving throughout the fall...

Turns out our temp track in Langford is under a lake of water.... Instead we'll be setting up a track at one of the gravel fields at Beacon Hill Park with some ramps and jumps if you're interested in some fun racing action. We'll be running SC trucks..

Race time 12:00pm till 4:00pm
See ya there...

YES, once again we'll be setting up a track at one of the gravel fields at Beacon Hill Park. If you're interested in some short course racing action come out for some fun. We'll be running 2 & 4wd SC trucks (Traxxas, HPI, Associated) but bring out whatever you like. Just make it electric as nitro is too loud for this park setting...

Saturday October 2, 2010
Race time 12:00pm till 4:00pm

See ya there...
