Well If I was to race its almost 4 hours for me...Not much up here in Canada..Well on Vancouver Island anyways..
 
Back when I used to race, it was anywhere from 10 minutes, all the way to two hours away for me. It varied on the track. Lately, however, I've been bashing and enjoying just having fun.
 
On average, it will be about 45-90 minutes depending on location. It can be more if I travel to the ROAR regionals. That can be anywhere up to a 4 hr trip.
 
Over 2hrs for me... About 400 miles round trip to Trax70 in Jersey...
So far it has been worth it for a guys day out with Ratzo & Buddha...:)
 
Barnstormers is like 5 to 7 minutes from my house.. NICE wanna start hittin some other tracks though
 
anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 to 3 1/2 hours. I'll travel for big events if some of my regular racing buddies are all going or if I have the pleasure to meet up with the honorable Monkey Wrench!
 
The new one by my place is 3 miles away. Last time I went it took my about 5 minutes on the 4 wheeler.
 
I'm lucky enough to have 3 tracks within 40 mins of my house...3 more within 1.5 hours and another 5 within 3.5 hours......but I've just been bashing only this year so far.....
 
pladfish i'll be down to race near you again this fall. not counting my own track the closest one is little over 2 hours away but i travel to florida to race every year
 
In Pittsburgh there was no track closer than 1hr 30mins away... but here in portland it seems like all my tracks are around 25-45 minutes away, but less quality... O well.
 
unfortunately I've yet to find where my closest track is, and so far I've yet to find anyone i know who has ever touched or used a nitro car or truck, but I'm lookin, and i expect its gonna be 2hrs+ for me
 
I'm spoiled...believe it or not...right here in po-dunk WV.

My regular tracks are 4 minutes and 6 minutes away.

I can cross over into Buckeye country and race....25 minutes


And about 25 minutes away is a top-notch...they hold the WV Championship races (draw some serious dogs)...on-road track.

1.5 hours and I can be at one of the off-road tracks used for the Eastern series of the R/C pro series (I think that's the name...the series Slayden races in)

2 hours to the CRCRC (Columbus OH)...Major events held there also!

Got it made as far as racing goes....If only I could drive:loser:
