Indoor Racing Facility Fort Walton Beach
Here at Hobby Central we are considering opening up an indoor rc racing facility. The facility would consist of one or two indoor tracks. Something along the lines of an off-road track with oval and a micro/mini track or a on-road and oval carpet track. It could possibly have outdoor touring/oval racing. We are just looking into the idea right now. I beleive it would be the only indoor racing facility within 200 miles or more. It’s a big endeavour and a weak economy, and so we are not ready to commit to it yet. We are surveying customers and past and present racers to see if there would be enough attendance. We have a couple of Ambrc timing systems and a store already in the Ft Walton area and so it would be great to have a racing program again. We sent out a survey by email. We have looked at doing it in Pensacola or GulfBreeze, but it’s hard to find a building big enough, but cheap enough LOL. Let us know what you think.

this would be a blessing! make it happen! we are the only city in florida that doesnt have an indoor track. a lot of military folks are RC enthusiast and attendance shouldnt be a problem once established. no oval please (nascar is boring enough). I would recommend an indoor carpet and indoor off-road (summer gets really hot to be outside). please make it happen!
If we bring back on road racing, please have a track like the one in Pensacola, oval with road course in the infield. I would like to run my TC3 in a oval like division. Just before the track closed a few years ago, i put a brand new Monte Carlo body on it with a sick wing on the back.
