Im definantly down to get a race track/rc club up and going here in town. And i as well will help as much as possible

In my opinion we are talking about creating a formal non-profit just as they had done with the RVRC club.  There are many good reasons to do it this way and it also would put us in a positive position to deal with the city and county for potential land use, not to mention the use of the Fairgrounds which we already have permission for.

I think that it's a healthy idea, but there are plenty of hurdles that need to be cleared. I'm naturally a very pessimistic person, so I can see a lot of reason why this wouldn't work. There's the location, the cost and the time. All of them are big issues that need to be really thought out. The RVRC club worked out well because Parks and Rec leased a nice, big chunk of land and there were a lot of people and local business that donated time, money and equipment. I'm not saying that all can't happen again, but it doesn't seem as promising.

Maybe somebody should start up a fund on kickstarter.com and see if you get anybody to donate toward it and go from there. If the funding doesn't happen, the idea might never leave the ground. But that's just my opinion.

Im in for it all but the fairgrounds,not into racing on poo lol.

I'll participate in any way I can,this would not only be good for the rc community but it would help generate some tourest income and sorta put GP on the map(track map.)


If the track and way the track is ran is where it should be I can see people coming from nor cal and Portland area.

I know with all the great minds into this already the layout will be sick and the surface will be proper too.

Hobby shop sponsor could help too.

The donating idea is a good one and I would right now if it was already in the works.

count me in.    ;D

The BMX club has already organized tons of dirt for the new track at the fairgrounds.  This is moving forward already.  This will be the only indoor track for quite a distance.

I have my reservations about a dual-purpose track. I love the idea of an indoor track (year-round racing!) but the track needs to be laid out very carefully. BMX racers don't necessarily need to see the lanes next to them, but as an RC racer we need to be able to see over the tops of jumps/elevation changes to get a view of the next lane. With that aside, I'd rather race on a BMX track when it's raining than not race at all...

Exactly.  This is why we are trying to form a RC track designer committee.  Read this:

We will be meeting with the BMX track committee and be working out a way to make it work for all of us.  I think the right people can help make this work.

Already did, exclusive to drifters American Underground Drift....

Come drift with us..

ummmmmm cottage grove?

I have to agree COMPLETELY with this statement, and as far as track record of anyone involved actually making something happen well I think I will just sit back, eat popcorn and see what happens. 

Yep. Seeing as how this "dead" thread was just revived it shows that there isn't much, if any, progress towards this idea. I feel like somebody that has too much money needs to just buy/rent/lease a small warehouse and set up a private, for-profit, business-oriented indoor track.

So if we know anybody with too much money and a willingness to potentially throw all of it away, send that person our direction.
