Went to practice as shown on there schedule to find that they were having a race. Track looked awesome, but should have the schedule more up to date. Drove from West Virginia to get there and pretty disappointed

I drove an hour and a half to run my car at the the track. Upon arriving I was told I could not run my car because it was 1/8 scale. The website clearly states a 1/8 class bracket. But no big deal my son has a 1/10 truggy I was going to pay and let him play so it wasn't a total waste of a trip. After giving me a hard time about not all 1/10 being true 1/10. Which my son has a maverick quantum, same size as a rustler so said he couldn't run because he has 3S batteries. It's not listed anywhere on the website that there is a limit. I will never go here again. Just plain rude to customers.

The Track is open 7 days a week. He would need his own car. I would check with Mimi to make sure she's planning to be open on Memorial Day, which matches your anniversary this year.

What rc truck class do you run?

Dwayne Pryor | Oct 20, 2019
Bruce Robertson | Oct 20, 2019

What Reggie said, but important to mention it is a 1/10 scale track. 2S batteries. There is a Facebook page for the track where the larger races are promoted as well as the classes offered for the big races. The big races are typically about once every 4-6 weeks but there are 2 big ones in March.

Does it cost money to run my car there ( not for a race ) if so how much?

Austin N | Oct 20, 2019
Bruce Robertson | Oct 20, 2019

$20/day unlimited time. Races are held Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Best to pick another time besides these if you just want to practice. I believe pricing is on the website www.rctrack.com.

Brett Waldman | Oct 20, 2018

Skyler Redmond-Hoel | Oct 20, 2018

no Mimi doesn't do that kind of stuff. she runs the track and can help you fix or find someone to help you fix your rc. but as far as rebuilding not her thing.

Does this store rent cars for kids?

Greg Schimmel | Oct 20, 2018

She use to have a few cars that were in working condition for rent. I would say yes, but not 100% sure. Great atmosphere to run rc's.

No. Its a 1:10 scale indoor electric raceway. There is an on road track there so i believe they may start running 1:12 scale pan maybe. There is a place out in Winchester, VA. That runs 1:8 scale nitro racing called Adrenaline RC
