FL racers

I went to the track today for about an hour. I was really a bit disappointed that it wasn't in better shape or didn't have a better layout. With the track laid out the way it is, brushless power is pretty much useless. It's like blip the throttle, jump, blip the throttle, jump, blip the throttle, turn...the whole way around the track. There are absolutely no straights to open it up anywhere without a jump.

That being said, my 380C 6L is too much out there...way too much, especially when the track isn't wet down. Without any water on the track, you might as well put ice in the turns because the light sand on top of the hard packed stuff. I also don't like that there are like 4 different jumps on the track that are choice jumps, where you go to one side or the other. It wouldn't be so bad, but they're so narrow, it's very difficult to pick a line and hold it without either going off the track or crossing lines mid-jump.

I will go back at least once more, but if the track is in the same condition, I might not go back after that. The biggest downfall is that they will keep having the mini motocross kids ride on it the days the RC guys don't and it just ruts up the track.

The only good part is the turn marshall guy that'll run out there and flip your truck back upright for you. Eh, we'll see how I fell if I go back out there next Tuesday.

They had one out by the airport. Boggy creak. Then the guy closed it because he got tired of having to get all the permits.

Yeah, I talked to that guy recently.

He's was a bit peaved at the whole ordeal. Government started in on him because area homes were complaining of the noise. In his words they were using that as an excuse to shut him down because there was no permits in place to give him to operate (and thus making the city/county money). That's how he put it.

It's a shame the only decent track is in Daytona. I bet Orlando would benefit from a new track or a newly designed/RC friendly one out Ski World.
