Central Texas 1/5th Off-Road Track-Who would come and race?

[twostrokehobbies]

We have moved the track to New Braunfels and all info can be found here... www.tsrraceway.com


I have been wanting to build a 1/5 scale track for some time, and now I have a piece of property that I can do that. Read below to see what I propose, and post your thoughts.


I need to be sure there will be support before I spend the money. Please post if you would race here, and where you are from please.


DETAILS:


Location- Cibolo Texas 78108


Races will be held every 2 weeks on Saturdays. Hopefully this will help attendance from those from Houston/Corpus/Dallas area.


Dallas/Ft. Worth- 4 Hours


Houston- 3 Hours


Austin- 1 Hour


San Antonio- 20 Minutes


Corpus Christi- 3 Hours


Track will be built solely for 1/5th scale. For those guys that have tried to run on an 1/8th scale track know what I mean. All Lanes will be 20ft wide and will have natural grass borders on both sides of lane. No piping will be used, you know you've been high centered on piping before. All lanes will have 10ft in between them, and 4 hay bales will be made into a square for marshals at each marshal area to stand on. This will give plenty of room for marshals to move around in between lanes, and something to jump up on for safety.


Classes:


To grow attendance, classes will be "open" at first, then after a while we can start breaking them down further.


To start:


1/5th 2WD Gas


1/5th 4WD Gas


1/5th 2WD Electric


1/5th 4WD Electric


If we have 5 entries to make a class, then we can break down to:


1/5th 2WD Gas Buggy


1/5th 2WD Gas Short Course Truck


1/5th 2WD Electric Buggy


1/5th 2WD Electric Short Course Truck


1/5th 4WD Gas Buggy


1/5th 4WD Gas Short Course Truck


1/5th 4WD Electric Buggy


1/5th 4WD Gas Short Course Truck


If there is interest, I WILL build it!

I'm on the west side of Houston. I'll make plans on a weekend to come play when it's done. Also, some of my HPI buddies have mentioned your track too so I know they are willing to go.
