Yes, Organized racing with AMB timing will be going in the spring. This is an initial meeting to see how the tracks work with more cars on them. This is a link to a horrible quality video I took of a practice lap on the track layout. It's big and allows for some serious speeds. The Oval track is at my house, & we might have a go at it as well on Saturday. It's ruthless fast & allows a ton of side by side action.
For right now we are off-road only here. We have a serious like for on-road too. The Thursday of I-Hobby, we went straight from the show to Leisure Hours. It was a riot is about all I can say. These dudes are not made for running on that tight of a track. Although I must say tight was not near as bad as the Jumps !!! WOW. I toasted a new body bad enough & finally broke a small suspension joint & gave up. Brian from BigSquid was there shooting video. I know he has some great stuff !! I seen one crash from his camera, " Not of me " and its a good one !! We plan to have some on-road time there if we can get some organization in on-road especially 4 wheel drive. We want to get ROAR to make a provision for this class to run. A National even at Leisure Hours looks to be possible to us ! Very nice facility all around !! The biggest group of people coming are from the Chicago area anyway. They are like 7 strong & we have about 6 here. 13 big scale vehicles & couple of tracks, will make for good times ! I plan on running video quite a bit  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJSw_AeboBM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5XLLIBlTEY

To be honest I think, what is sometimes being asked. Is if there is a group of people actively using the vehicles. Even in a basher deal, groups that have semi-organized deals are fun for certain people. I can run myself on my track & have a blast. I have enjoyed the hobby for many years, pretty much alone, with very few others coming to run with me. Only the last 5 years or so has things really changed around here. I like to race,& I also like to have fun. I know people who enjoy either side more than the other though as well. It's all in what you like most I guess ?

And the guy is drumming up interst by letting guys "race' around his shit.... You are taking the bash/race thing toooooo serious. he probally wants everyone going in one general direction to minimize the head on full speed collisons.
Btw... You cub comments fall on deaf ears. --Then follow the rules! haha!-- -Tune

With the big scale vehicles, we definitely try to have at least minimal organization at least. Head-on collisions are a definite No Way. Unless you have tons of money to fix yours & someone elses stuff. Sent an order out today to a guy that let a buddy drive his & hit a mailbox post. To repair his was almost 600$. We notice most of the bigger scale guys are older & respect their stuff, and definitely others.
Sorry your working man .....

Okay, if any racers post in the bashers thread they will be BANNED for LIFE!!!!
J/K! LOL Who gives a crap! These are toys after all. I welcome input from anyone who offers it when I need help. Anyway, I watched a few vids of the MCD baja 1000 and that thing looks SICK! Other tha upgrade costs there really isn't alot of difference in price I would think when you consider the maintenence costs of nitro. But I saw the price of some of th hop ups. OUCH! Good luck guys hope you do well in supporting a growing segment in this hobby.
