I will help to spread the word about this track. Probably one of the few track that has been racing for the past 4-5 years. Very good and fun track. And it is perfect for new comer or experienced racer. Using AMB-it lap counting system. Even though it is a parking lot race, they allow MT, Tuggy, Muggy, Off road as long as they have those low-profile tires.

Yes, it is.........but a lot CLOSER to home. If you missed TINLEY, they are using the TINLEY track driver stands, the channel holder and the posting board........hope that will remind your memory...LOL

Personally think that HTSC ran a better show, never tried the other cause HTSC just good enough for me....beside, wife won't allow me to race every week, at least, not anymore since I married her....:mad:

my bros in the first pic and im in the background.lol

Is a brushless converted Revo OK for the Monster Truck class? Would a 1/8 buggy be able to race in any of the classes?

REVO Brushless is fine...but most likely you will race against the NITRO REVO...which I don't think the brushless one is any slower.
I don't think there are any 1/8th buggy there..........never seen one there.

Anyone have tire recomendations for racing a Monster truck on pavement? Never raced like that before.

Hello to all the regular st charles racers here. I'm the new face at the track the past few weeks with my two sons. We've been having fun running practice and are ready to enter the race next week. As long as my son can keep it in one piece that is. What class would we run in? I found an old pan car, rc10L, that I will be running with a stock motor and my son has a B4 buggy with a stock motor. just put some foams on it this week.
