Hobbytown Crystal Lake Negotiating Details for New Indoor Track

As mentioned on the WI/IL racing forum of rctech,  Hobbytown Crystal Lake IL will be moving to a new retail facility and in that move there are intentions of creating  new indoor and outdoor off road dirt tracks. Employees at the store have given details that the indoor track would be an aprox. 50 foot by 40 foot dirt track. No details have been given as to the outdoor venue. The indoor facility would open in the next few months.

All of the plans are still not in stone yet and legal details are  be worked on.

Hobbytown CL has had an outdoor parking lot racing program for quite some time now and we generally don't hear much about it because they've actively chosen not to create and maintain a thread in the rctech racing forums. Employees of the HT say they really want their racing program to be about the fun factor of racing and reach out to many very new racers and they don't really have intentions of wanting to attract the area's more serious racers.  More power too them!

    What does more power to them mean? They have a very nice race program. They are very accomidating to all levels of driver. At the end of the day everyone has a smile and has had a great day racing. They don't advertise on web pages because they don't have trouble attracting a good following. I have been racing there for years. I enjoy myself every time. The staff at the store is top notch. Maybe you should get a few cars together and come out and see what fun is to be had. You don't know until you try it out. The racers out there are helpful and will aid you if you have questions.
