Well any word on this place??? I heard the hold up was the wife wanted to plant flowers there and was taking for ever. Also heard this was somewhat of a pipedream and would never come about. I hope this place opens up. There is not enough local places for us up here to run.

Who are all of you guys who remember Valley Farms Raceway? I now live just a few miles from there, but they are no more.
I see a fine fellow from RaceEmRc is proposing a track in the area. I hope it works. I wrote him a letter of support. If it doesn't work out for that track, I am going to need some advisors to see how to develop my back yard into an electric-only (sorry, its the noise) racing area. This years track was just a 50x40 small personal track for practice. I can just mark out an area in the dirt for my farmer not to use in the next planting season.

I was wondering if my land would be fun to bash on since it is pretty flat. I am occasionally running at a track out of town (extremerconline.com for a picture) and they have some wooden jumps that really work out well. I anticipated making some next year just like theirs. They have some carpet on the face -- might have to find some "outdoor" carpet for me.
I am really really hoping that RaceEmRc works out, so I can just show up and race. You know our part of the state is way short on track space, except maybe for DirtDawgs, which I have had a hard time locating, BTW. What I probably need to do is find a club that already knows what they are doing and that matches my goals mostly and assign them a piece of dirt. There is no way I could run a track by myself -- what if I had to work out of town one weekend, what if my track design ideas are stupid, etc. I like the way the MARCCA club near Madison works at that farm. If you feel that bashing on flat ground would be worthwhile, I could setup a time. But I need to keep it towards electrics just to keep reasoanble neighbor realtionships.
