- Hey everyone, I've got a unique episode for you. While this is a shorter than usual episode it's a very cool sneak peak/early access look at a new dirt oval track coming to the Upstate of south Carolina.
American RC Speedway (Anderson South Carolina) is a growing RC racing facility that started out with an indoor Carpet oval for the 1/18th scale 1RC cars. They have been working on an outdoor dirt oval for the 1/10 scale cars and well. What makes this particular track unique is that while it is an outdoor track, it is fully covered and protected from the weather.
Not only do I take you on a tour of this RC racing facility both indoor and outdoor, we also get to make the first ever laps on the new outdoor dirt oval track.
Hope you all enjoy and thank you for the continued support!

Very cool! I really dig the mid 70s Monte sitting next to the track! Very fitting! 👍
Very cool place indeed Jeremiah. Thank you for the support and comment.
Looking good
Oh yeah Chris. Having a covered track you can't help but think of Lil Indy.
That's a really nice facility.
Jeff it really is. So fortunate here in the upstate of SC to once again have 3 great RC Dirt Oval facilities.
@@jbtricklerc I just moved to Simpsonville. I can't wait to get the opportunity to visit these tracks
@@jeffvreeland1315 Thats awesome! Welcome to our area and hope to see you at the track soon! You definitely have great places to visit and race.
That’s what’s up, nice looking track 💪🏾💯
Coach D it really is. We are very fortunate here in the upstate of SC to have 3 dirt oval tracks again.
Nice looking facility!
Absolutely Bob. So fortunate here in the upstate to once again have 3 great dirt oval facilities.
@@jbtricklerc that’s awesome bud, dirt oval tracks are very spread out up here in the northeast, you’re a lucky guy.
@@FromthePits I definitely believe so. Hoping to get out and travel and visit a bit more this year as well.
That’s awesome brother definitely a blast
Thank you RC Terminator it was for sure.
I'm over in York SC.... but go over that way quite a bit. Ill have to check it out!
Chris Borman thats awesome. If I'm there be sure to stop by and say hello.
That looks like it’s gonna be a awesome track! The track I race on in Houston Tx is covered and I can’t count the times we raced while it was raining.
Anthony that's the best part in my opinion. No bad weather worries which is good. Just gotta have a good pit tent lol.
WHOOHOOO. SWEET HELLOOOO ✌
Hey hey V&B Speed. You are going to get a shout out in the next episode upload.
great looking track, will need to read the track and adjust car looks like it will be very fast
Nick absolutely. That was a early access video and the first ever laps. It was still a little wet but the front stretch had all kinds of bite!
Very nice looking track, and the fact that it's covered will definitely help
BJ it's definitely a nice facility. I miss Lil Indy in Spartanburg and this could fill that unfortunately missing gap in the RC community.
I wish rc's were as popular here as they are there. That looks like an awesome track!
BC I appreciate it. We are very thankful for the great tracks we have around here.
Place looks good wish it wasn’t so far
Aj Heister I hear ya there. There are several locations I want to travel and race at as well. I'll make it around more eventually lol.
I raced here for real I got 2 trophy’s 4 plaks and 1 madalian
Awesome to hear! Congratulations and it's definitely a great place
How do you find the rules and classes?
Check out their Facebook page as I believe they have them posted there. Also, Grassroots racing page. They have rules posted as well and most tracks around here run Grass roots rules.
Sweet set up👌
How do yhe guys get that smooth finish to the clay? Our club is building an oval and we've discussed the best way to get that finished surface.
We have thought of dragging a big square piece of 3/4 thick flat rubber around to act like a finishing trowel.🤷♂️
Hyster that's a great question. I'm not as up to date on track prep. I've helped with it but don't know what all goes into it. Hoping to feature an episode soon with a friend and track owner discussing what it's like to be a track promoter and owner. But a lot of it is packing, rolling it smooth, water it, roll it covered with tarps on then more with tarps off. Dragging a tire and such helps as well. Hopefully I can get an episode with more info in the future.
JB I need advice on how to start dirt oval racing I live in central Illinois and we don’t have anything like that around here other than carpet racing I want to race dirt and a pro late model could you possibly give me some advice or some websites to look up the parts to build a high end pro mod late model like that I’m a good driver just never have dived into the late model aspect of rc
Cody thats a great question. As far as starting a track I'm honestly not sure as I've never been a race director or track owner. Just a racer myself. I'm hoping to have a video featuring a track owner interview soon that will have some information like this as well. If you wanted information on that I'd check out facebook groups for Dirt oval tracks and possibly chat with the track owner and promoter to get good information.
As far as building some Late Model RC cars there are several options. When you say Pro Mod Late Model the closest things we have to that around here would be say the 17.5 Pro Class but its not really a mod class but its the fastest and "pro" class of RC Late Model racing. The car kits you would be looking at there would be GFRP, Custom Works, Ghost etc. All of which have websites where you can check out the car kits. Those are all purpose built carbon fiber dirt oval car chassis kits and the GFRP Havoc is what I run. I've got several episodes here on the channel that cover some of these cars as well as some building tutorials and setup and tuning guides that my be worth a look for you as well. I hope this information helps. Thank you for the support and comment.
Where did you get your rc cars
Kara, many came from Moonville RC & Hobby. Others came from other sellers and racers.
What is the cost race there or be a member of the club?
Mitch, Great question. No memberships required. Just need a RC car that is recognized in the many different classes offered and pay an entry fee that can range from $10 to $20 generally.
