fliers for upcoming events you want to advertise here? Just send me your information
and I will put it in ASAP. Please click here to be forwarded to my submit form.
ARE YOU READY FOR SERIOUS PLAY IN THE DIRT?
Please forgive the strange picture above. It was the best I could produce by merging what I have currently. The track has been reworked. Wider lanes, those two trees to the left are gone allowing more track room, a pit lane has been added for nitro-engine models, a high-volume watering system and higher banked corners. The track also benefits from the donated uses of KRC Products & Service's Race Management System Cargo Trailer with Equipment including AMBrc Lap Counting, Autoscore Pro Software, Digital Race Info Displays, FM Sound Transmissions and etc... Please click on the link below for what is going on at the Altepeter's Private Raceway and when. I will put down any times we plan run here and more on that page.

OF A GREAT TRACK MIKE HAD SET UP AT HIS HOME
LOCATION
The Fisk Hobby Farm and R/C Raceway is approximately 30 miles north of the
Twin Cities in Oak Grove. The actual address of the site: 22270 Holly St N.W. Oak Grove, MN 55011. The track is on the five acre plot with limited camping available onsite. The track has a Super Cross style layout with big jumps and high bank corners. The primary design was for 1/8th & 1/10th scale Nitro Trucks and Buggies, but electric models are also welcome. Bring whatever you race with and come join the fun!NOTICE
Due to problems the Fisk's have had with complaints from some of the neighboring property owners, publicly advertise and scheduled R/C Racing Events will no longer be held. The local City council board members have voted to not allow the Fisk's to hold organized R/C Racing Events on their property. This cannot stop the Fisk's from having races for their "Friends and Family" on their property though. Expect there still will be fun to be had there. The "Friends and Family" of the Fisk's are many and great racing can still be had there. Check out their web site address below for more information.

NORTHERN MN 2008 SUMMER TRAVELING
OFF-ROAD POINTS SERIES RACING
HERE ARE SOME ASSORTED DETAILS...
In the last few years, many excellent tracks have sprung up to provide desperately needed places to have Serious R/C Racing Fun! These tracks have arranged to host point series races throughout the summer. Though many racers are competing for Points in these races for placing in the Series, any of them has event winners and is open for anyone with a qualifying R/C Model to join in the fun. Here is a link to the MN Off-Road Nitro Points Series web site: http://www.mnnitroseries.com
These races are some serious fun! To give anyone new to the R/C Hobby a better idea of how this will likely go, here is some more details:
These races will likely be for these classes: Nitro Monster Truck, 1/10th Expert Nitro Truck, 1/10th Sportsman Nitro Truck, 1/8th Scale Nitro Buggy, and Stock Electric Truck. There will be definite rules for these races. Generally, if you have a ROAR-Legal model you do not have to be worried about being qualified to join in the races. With the release of various Ready-To-Run Models being sold with illegally large bored engines, it is being discussed that these may be allowed for one season so those new to R/C Racing will not need to be turn away from entering the races, but that is another issue. The main thing to know is that there will be a series of races from May through October put on by several tracks in Minnesota and aside from individual event winners, there will be season championship winners also.
These races are very well organized. Some sites allow camping. All will have bathrooms and food available onsite. Races are run with state-of-the-art computer equipment and software. Transponder systems like the AMBrc we have at our track are used to lap count the racers individually to a fraction of a second. The tracks involved are great and guaranteed to provide the highest level of competitive R/C Racing Action there is. Look forward to seeing you all this season!
TO RACE OR NOT TO RACE... THAT IS THE QUESTION
KRC Products strives to promote Organized R/C Racing Activities, but getting things rolling isn't easy. There always seems to be some problems out there that prevent us from getting races going. These are zoning issues, people intolerant to others having fun in their sight, money issues... you name it. You would just not believe what I have seen block our fun. It is almost like we are viewed as some unwanted criminal element that damages society somehow or something. Setting up an R/C Race Track in can upset people as much as a crack house it seems. It is just incredible how the good, clean fun we have can be viewed with such dislike.
We need places that will allow us to run immune to these fun haters. The problem is, we cannot afford to fork out big bucks to pay for them unfortunately. I am one for producing fun activities for people to do rather that trying to stop them. Some people wonder why their kids are going to doing more drugs and alcohol these days. I know EXACTLY why people go to drugs; it is because of the serious lack of other fun things to keep them occupied. A kid needs more than video games to keep them healthy in both the mental and physical sense. And guess what, US ADULTS need fun things to do also. Maybe if we stopped fighting fun things to do like Racing R/C Models near us and instead promoted this and other new public activities, people would get involved in these new fun activities more instead of frying their brains! Am I out of line with this? I think not.
Anyway, if anyone that reads this feels they can help, please contact me. Maybe we can do some good together. I have done the best I can, am financially tapped out and could use some help. (You can contact me by click this link)
Notice: If you are having any upcoming remote control hobby events and would like them listed on this page. Please submit to me your in formation by clicking here. I will confirm and display your listing until the event is completed.
