Join us for the 4th annual Pit Stop Hobbies Summer Extravaganza & charity Paint Off Competition on August 18th-20th. This event has a carnival feeling to it with awesome food, games, a charity paint off competition, and of course some great RC Racing. Over the past two years we were able to raise over $1560 for a local charity. This year we'll be donating to The Childrens Miracle Network. Let's raise the bar this year!
About the track and facilities:
Our racing surface is mainly clay material and the new dimensions are approximately 85' x 125'.The driver's stand is approximately 20' long with a handicap ramp and kick-out for those racing with us that need it. There is an onsite hobby shop, water, port-o-potty, and electric. Please bring your own table, chair, pop up canopy, extension cords, etc.
We use the newest MyLaps RC4 Decoder and Livetime scoring Software. Please be sure your personal transponder is RC4 compatible. We have rental transponders in the hobby shop for an additional cost of $5 ea for the day.
There will be limited parking near the hobby shop and on-street parking as well as some parking behind the race track (or parking lot) so please try to carpool if possible.
