Hey to all,Im in Bham and have several 1/5th scales,would like to know how the racing is going before I make a 4 hour drive.Thanks

The racing at cmj hobbies is good. Bad thing is the track is narrow and red clay. Other than that it is a nice place. We here locally run there and also at a motorcross track near by. If you are interested in racing let me know and we can get everything in line.

Im going to try and come over in a few weeks when I get back from vac. I just got back from Power Jam in Indiana and would like to have a place to race.

sounds great we would love to have you join us. We often race informally and try to make it fun and less stressful. None the less we are competitive and when we get on the track we race hard. Usually till someone or something Breaks.

Just curious but what 1/5ths do you have and plan to race?

Our group run MCD, HPI Baja both truck and buggy, and Losi 5ives along with DBXL. I had a Redcat but could not keep up with the parts bill and gave in an bought a DBXL. I must say it is the best over all 1/5th scale for the money.

We look forward to having you join us and as always the door is open for anyone else who wants to join us racing on the weekend.

[miniac]

Yes,sad but true,but usually I get what I want and ask her to forgive me later ,my buddy on the other hand is just plain whipped.

 

[Ildy666]

The track is fun and it is hard in places. I welcome everyone to join us if you can. I have talked with the rest of my group and we are a go for the 26th of July. There will be at least four of us if not more. Some of our guys have the same wife problem as your buddy. We look forward to having y'all and cant wait to have some fun.

Sounds great,will this be a race day or play day ? doesn't matter were up for either.What time? its a 4hr drive for us but we can leave early.Thanks

 

[glm308]

More of a play day as the track does not have the timer setup at the moment. None the less it will be a lot of fun and we still will race hard. We usually start about 11:00-12:00 time frame and run till dark or we are all broken(whichever comes first). So anytime after I would say noon would be fine.
