Just a quick question, since I am sure some people are wondering....
Since the 2.4 Ghz radios all have a built-in failsafe, would that meet the requirments, or would you need an external failsafe as well?

Failsafes are useless any ways, especially if your battery dies; be better off requiring a throttle return spring

The inner track is the onroad vehicle track, the outer track will be the off road track.

Nice found myself a new local track for the winter months, only 45 min from my house compared to close to 2 hours to LH.

Randy Pence the track owner just let me know that I will be the track operations manager, so please please please give me all of your suggestions. We are open to all of them. We plan to have all types of classes, so let me know what you like and what you would like to see and we can see what can be done. Also, please remember this is a new track and we are just starting out and are a work in progress. The track portion is complete, but I am sure everyone will want changes.. lol I know when I goto tracks I am like that.. lol! We are shooting for a fun environment for everyone. It was completely done by hand, due to a dead bobcat and has been a challenge doing two tracks in one space, providing both a dirt oval and a offroad. So on saturday, we are hoping to have the pit areas all completed. So remember when you come, its a work in progress. The more interest, and people willing to help the better the track will be.
If you would like to help with the track let me know.
If you want you can email me at [email protected] or call me at 815-236-5054.

Is it heated?
Failsafes, no I know uses them I would require a throttle return spring, for nitros. Much more common as other sanctions require them.
Will there be more lights than in the picture you posted?
What is the track dimmnsions?

The building is not currently heated, so bundle up. The pit area will have pod heaters for now.

For now, Failsafes, or throttle return springs will be required.
As for light, there is alot of light in the barn, I think it looks darking because the pics were taken with my cell phone.
I believe the track size is 100 x 65.
