Looks very well built! So will you have to join the club to race there, or will they be hosting special "open" events?

you will NOT have to be in the club to race.
they will prolly have a club set up more for the local races, pay a fee, then get a discount at the track and store... type thing.
here is a map to see where its at.

I have been watching this build at the site. My brother in law lives in Gridley. I make trips down that way every 2-3 months to our location on the south end of town for work. I have yet to see the track but it looks like it turned out great.
You guys thinking about trying to get in on the IL pro series? I talked to a guy at the lincoln track and he hopes that he can include joliet next year.
I doubt I will be a regular there. My brother in law maybe. He runs a revo. I might stop by when I visit on a weekend,or if you guys have a big local race going on like Mahomet does.
I also just registered for the forums. Waiting to get the 'ok from Don D.

This is for the others up here..Wasnt there a track just over the line in Indiana that had their track set up in a park district and they were forced to close down. Think it was because of the noise from the trucks and PA system.
Hope that will not happen down there. What about punks that might want to cause damage to the track?

thats a situation that when it presents itself will be dealt with mash:
I don't think it will be shut down because of noise. etc. no one lives near there, its right next to an rc flying circles for those guide by wires planes. the golf course is far enough away that they shouldnt complain about the noise, and there is also a boat launch near by. for that matter you can get there by boat, plane or car, lol. the guys that designed and built this track looked into every aspect as they pay very close attention to detail. it should be good to go. already there has been a gopher there, that we tried to step on and drown, hopefully he gets hit by a monster truck, lol
