New indoor track on Louisville!!!

[Jeff@TireBalls]

I just talked to the new owner of Hobby World in Louisville. They are currently moving into a new 100' x 130' building complete with indoor offroad track and rock crawling coarse! He said they should be ready to roll in 2 weeks.
It's located somewhere off of Blankenbaker Rd.

I'm super pumped!!!!

I have been trying to call but the old number isn't working. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Hobby World? I am dying to find out when they are going to be open.

[barrybelvedere]

you can show up at the new building...but there is alot of work to do yet.

[barrybelvedere]

Ok... Right now the race track and the hobby store are coming along as fast as they can get it done. The dirt/clay is inside but not shaped, the lights are being replaced so its brighter inside, the hobby store is like 75% finished, The pit tables are built, The rock for the crawlers is not even been hauled to the property yet. They are waiting for the permit to build the drivers stand. Jimmy V. and Lucas are doing a great job at making it happen. So more time is needed to get this thing going. 2/13/2014

That's great news Barry!!!

Any updates?

I went and checked out the track today and it was open for practice. The grand opening race is supposed to be the 22nd.
The rock coarse is supposed to be started on next week but will be outside.

[barrybelvedere]

Yeah...ok....so the rock IS going to be OUTSIDE in the back lot of the track. Yesterday Chris, Crazycrawler and I have arranged a plan for the rock to start showing up. We will be getting the rock from Crazycrawlers shop. Also the back lot is still covered in muddy clay from constructing the track, so it needs to be sprayed off or it will be too messy to get anything done. Also the rock that is there already needs to be sprayed off so its mostly clean so when we move it around we do not get covered in mud. It would be nice if anybody who has the ability to build some stick bridges and cable for the cable bridges before we get the rock placed will help alot, and it makes it more interesting. Oh and by the way they dude.... they are courses not coarses
