I could maybe go for a little while. I've got another flight back to MN Sunday afternoon. I wonder if we should maybe explore the other side some...

I think it's supposed to start to cool off a little isn't it?

Yeah, will do. I want to find a track. I've never done that before. It may be a little while yet since I pretty much live in Rochester MN temporarily...my ability to work on trucks is pretty limited.

We need to go run at your parking lot spot anyway, I should have my revo back together tonight. Had to swap out the front bulkhead.

How are the prices?

I like close. I have never raced at a track. It's fun enough to just go out to that Island in front of my house.

I don't remember exactly, and it may have changed, but it was pretty darn dirty cheap... couple of bucks for doing practice however long.

The HT near me has a 1/10th scale course inside and a 1/8th scale outside. Both are small compared to Leisure Time, but the change them up a lot. The outside track is actually carpet (so they don't have the massive track maintenance related to weather damage) but has some big air jumps.

They run 2 and 4wd bogies, 2wd truggies, 2 and 4wd SC and an open class. I know they run electric and nitro outside but not sure of the classes.

After I get back and get my EXO cogging issue solved, I am taking it up there to run the outside track.

I didnt get it from that guy.. I got the same thing though. Similar price.

Count me in for some track days.. Sounds like fun. Ofcourse, I have to get the truck together first.

I'm still working on my drifter:
