If you want to see what the spirit of 10th scale offroad racing is all about, don't miss this event!!! They had 177 entries at one of their recent CLUB RACES ! ! !

For those of you worried about getting home on time, my latest departure ever was about 6:00pm, which puts you back in Toronto before 11 including a dinner stop. Definitely worth the trip!

Average Joe's will be there.
So far, we have 4 racers attending.

Now that's what 1/10 offroad should be like.
Is there anywhere to run 1/10 offroad around here on dirt?

S.Bortolotti · 01-17-2012, 04:25 PM

No unfortunately...just carpet.

The Barn Yard has indoor 1/10 offroad on clay(yes, sticky clay) and is located just outside of Stratford/St. Mary's, Ontario.

It is a tight space, but it is a good time. 2wd and 4wd buggy, 2 and 4wd SCT, minis/micros, 1/8 e-buggy, etc.

Been doing some reading.... on rc signup it says entry cap is 100, and the note beside it says 'filling fast'. If anyone intends to go, I would sign up NOW !

Your not too far in Paris. You could make your way up to Stratford area and race indoor dirt at "The Barnyard".

Mapquest says...

1 hour 5 mins / 68.99 kilometres

What kind of tires looks like a hole shot from your video? I heared a few years back it was really loamy, like step pins? Did they add a different dirt or did it harden up?

Gump · 01-18-2012, 07:32 PM

The dirt is getting harder as the years go by. I also think they started rolling or packing it somehow.
A variety of small pin tires work. The step pins are history. Keep in mind its ALWAYS moist, and gets wetter as the day progressed due to all the activity in the greenhouse.

Thanks for the info small pins sounds good! I'll see what I can do with time off for work now.
