R/C Car Races At Post Indoor Race Pit Party?

Tony Barhorst · 11/8/11, 5:53 PM

We are going to have The Racin With D.O. Show/Pit Party after the first night of the Rumble In Fort Wayne Indoor Midget Races on Friday, December 30.

Fans will be invited into the pits once the events are complete. We plan on having an autograph session while the show is going on..We will have some good music going, etc.

I have been thinking of other fun happenings to add to it.

What if we set up a remote control car track between turns three and four on the non rubber down part of the track?

How many people would be interested in being a part of those races? What would be a good R/C store to get involved? We have one in Fort Wayne...but just thought I would get input on R/C hobbyists on this.

Who would be interested in racing New Years Eve also? If there is enough interest, maybe we could ring in the New Year RC racing after the event.

Who would be in? Your input is appreciated.

What's the approximate runline of the big track? Some 1/8th scales would flat out fly on the big track. Also check out www.hobbytalk.com Tony.
