I love the winged sprints.

I love the winged sprints.

Me too. The local RC track is supposed to be building a dirt oval track and a crawler course this year. Right next door to the new 1:1 scale midget sprint track they just built. I bet when the sprint car drivers learn about RC sprints racing next door they're all gonna run out and buy RC sprints. Why couldn't they do all this crap when I was still mobile

Current tracks. The midget track is above and left (out of frame).

I get it bud. I can't even go to a concert anymore because I can't stand on my feet for very long.
I'm talking about the long lines getting into a venue.

I have always wanted to build a winged sprint RC car. But I haven't seen any dirt ones. There used to be a conversion kit for the RC10 years ago I think. Not sure what's out there now. Gonna have to ask the guys at the track what they are planning to run on the oval.

 

[Tunedfrog]

We don't have any tracks close to us.
We go to Meridian Speedway at least once every summer and usually on the night that the winged sprints are running.
These are the real races. Pretty cheap entertainment for about 6 hours of racing.
Several different classes run a night.
My favorite though is the ASCS Nationals winged sprints and they run on blacktop.
Each night they have crazy races like the trailer races or spectator drags.

Yeah, but you can't complain about your RC spots you frequent.

Yeah, but you can't complain about your RC spots you frequent.

Oh not at all. Sand dunes, skate park next town over "15 minutes" , Clay Peaks motorcycle park "fun little area to run".
A ton of places to run along the Snake river and reservoirs.
Nothing more enjoyable than my Xmaxx and baja 5b nailing jumps at the sand dunes.
