Not that I know of. Looks like Mark's in Canton is your best bet.
 ps If you race 1/32 (we also run some 1/24) we have a club that races on Friday nights. We have named ourselves, "The MVSCC" (Mahoning Valley Slot Car Club) and the home track is in Poland. The track is a 4 lane routed MDF with copper tape. The track runs about 125 feet per lane. Track management by TrakMate (Windows version). Send me a pm if you are interested. |

Hi TR6er
This is Tom D from Wellsville. How are you and the guys doing with your racing ? I'm racing the T-Jets with the 2 groups from Pittsburgh and occassionally run 1/32nd on T-Jet night at Mark's. I quit racing BB's at Mark's as they are out of control out there with this class. 36 dollar e-bay motors and such. I took my son , 29 , out to get him into it and he's so discouraged he's staying with RC. Mark''s afarid of loosing racers if he says anything I think but he lost me , Mike , my son and another local racer down this way. He still has a decent HO and 1/32nd program however and I do race them on occassion. I buy my parts there as well to support him. I'd like to find a palce to race the FCR Hardbody cars. I seen Dave's 3 laner online. Nice job. Till later. Tom D |

I haven't been to Marks in quite awhile and I was wondering which track he uses for 1/32 and what nights they run them.

rustymike12,
Mark runs the 1/32 cars on his modified hillclimb track. The 1/32 races are on Wednesdays around 8 pm. |

Good to hear from you. Say "hi" to Mike for me. I used to like running the oval in Mineral Ridge with the FCR hardbodies.. I quit several years ago because I thought there was too much cheating going on and Dan never really teched the cars. Also I didn't think many of the guys were very friendly. I heard the Sax and some other guys bought the oval and the drag strip and they are setting it up in northern Trumbull county (Bristolville?). This may or may not be accurate information. Jim K. |

I heard the same rumor Jim. That would be gr8 if they can do it. I'm not sure if they intend to run it as a club or a commercial type raceway. Either way
it will be another slot raceway to promote the hobby.
I ran the oval at the " Ridge ". Some of the guys were standoffish but the rest were friendly enough. A few were strong runners but it never seemed to me they were running anything illegal at that track. It's just so obvious in Canton. Tom D |

Thanks for the link. Looks like a 50 mile road trip.
