ill know more at the beginning of next year, but im 60% getting a building in rockford area,(long story on that) and i was wondering if there would be any interest in a track, and what you would like to see there? if this happens, it should be mid spring to early summer. let me know.

Are you 60% sure you're getting it, or you getting 60% of the building?

Green Hornet · (#3 (**permalink**))

60% shure of getting the land and the building.

It would always be nice to have another track in the region to visit during the summer. Obviously you'll need a core group or local club to support your track. Many of these guys don't like to travel very far to go to a track. How big is the hobby in Rockford?

thats what im looking into now. i think there is 1 hobby shop out there, but i dont know how close there is a track to rockford or what kind of store the hobby shop is. the building doesnt have to be a track, but it is something i allways wanted to do.

I suggest that you also register on the free conferences on S-Grid. http://www.rc-racing.com/cgi-bin/backtalk There is a conference (discussion forum) for track owners that would help you a lot.

Green Hornet, I know four guy's that live in Rockford. They race MT in WI @ the Rockpile. You should check out the LHS. I know you will get a better idea of how many people are interested. I live in Chi, and travel 2.5 hours to race. I would gladly visit your track.

Keep us informed on your decison to open the track in Rockford.

I would make the drive... not too far from here I guess.

kanai kid · (#10 (**permalink**))

i would also make ther journey to rockford to check out the track. would you have it indoors then or is the building not big enough for that?

Green Hornet · (#11 (**permalink**))

it would be big enough for inside and out side.

kanai kid · (#12 (**permalink**))

that is a lot closer to me than leisure so i would definately come out there and play around or race. what ever the case maybe.

Tex · (#13 (**permalink**))

I'd go check it out for sure

If you build it we will race.

Green Hornet · (#15 (**permalink**))

cool, like i said before it would be next year. but ill know soon about the building and the land.

Tex · (#16 (**permalink**))

next year is approaching very quick

I can't wait to see what you come up with

Heck if the track can accomidate indoor and outdoor electric and Nitro off road and on road I think you will be busy with it.
I like the Nitro but with Winter approaching there really is no where to go.

I can tell ya I would go there and my neighbor who is just starting out.
Leaisure is a bit of a hike for me.
