Theres a really nice track about 20 min south of Charlotte off I-77 in Rock Hill SC. Its called the grove racing center, located at the Hobby Stop. They have a real nice high banked tri oval, and a real nice off road track too.

 

[GilBeQuick]

Thanks for the quick reply! I've been to The Grove many times.....the tri-oval is pretty sweet and the road course is challenging, but i'm not to crazy about their offroad track.....it's small....no big-air jumps. The particular track is more for the tighter turning stadium trucks and 1/10 buggies. Any more suggestions? thanks!

Well if you want to travel a little bit you could go up to Winston Salem. There is a place there called hobby park, they have an off road rc track, a bmx track, runway for rc planes. Its free too.

 

[GilBeQuick]

I'm all about some road trips........ where abouts in Winston/Salem??

Charlotte Tracks

Have you found any new tracks since this post...I'm considering buying a setup but want to race, not just play around.... I used to race my 10T stadium truck in an indoor track up in roanoke... I have heard there is a track in King, NC... just was checking.

New to Nitro Truck racing in Charlotte

Hey guys, I'm buying my first Nitro truck tomorrow (T-maxx). I used to race electrics on the west coast years. I'm looking for some race tracks and people to race with.

[HarleyD]

Hey Sam, Did you buy that t-maxx? find any tracks to run?

 

[sambarnett]

They guy I'm supposed to buy the T-maxx from has been busy so I haven't had a chance to meet up with him to buy it yet. I have been informed of a few tracks though. I already knew about Hobby Stop in SC. I know of one on Old Statesville Road in Huntersville at the inspection station, Lance Norrick's track in Huntersville, and a track on Rice Rd. in Mint Hill/Matthews. Any tracks that I missed. I hope I meet up with this guy soon. Can anyone race with me somewhere this weekend?

Sam

Supposedly there is one in Morresville, right off of 150 after you cross the tracks. Didn't know of the one off of statesville road which would be kewl as I work off of harris blvd. I've been by Lances...what a sweet track from the road. Theere is one in kannapolis by the hobby shop out there that is pretty small. I have a t-maxx and a gs strom that need some fixin but I'm getting there. few moreweekends.

 

[sambarnett]

I work right off Harris too, we should meet up and I can show you the track on Old Statesville

 

[T-MAXX WINNING]

T-Maxx Winning, can you take pictures of this track. I travel to Charlotte frequently and I would love to take a look at this track.

 

[HarleyD]

Yes, I would like to see pictures also... this area desperately needs a picture / direction / description website for all the local tracks...

If this don't show up as links, just cut and paste in your url.

Directions to store:
If you take 77 going towards columbia, get off at exit 77, take a right, and your on hwy. 5, there about 2 blocks on the right.

Hobbystop is a nice place, I've been there a few time picking up parts and stuff for my t-maxx, but i haven't run on either of the tracks yet , I'm still new to the hobby myself.

Well I hope this helps.. :thumbsup:
