All the other shops/tracks are sharing so we might as well too. We appreciate all of our customers, local and afar.
In an industry where we fight online-only shops and consumer direct models, it is increasingly hard for brick and mortar shops to make it. The cost of insurance, electric, taxes, etc. all add up.
We don’t care if it is us, or a shop closer to you.. but shopping the smaller stores over Amazon will help ensure they are there when you need them.
Thanks to all our customers who shop small/local. We hope to be around for many years to come.
It's been a slow couple of weeks, especially on Monday Night's. Unfortunately, our facility cannot continue to operate without support. I am going to say this very directly, without hesitation:
If you enjoy our racing facility, we need your support. Hobby Shops and RC Race Tracks are closing at an alarming rate, and if we don't receive a surge is support, we may be the next facility to close its doors for good. I kept this place going perhaps 2 whole years longer than I should have, out of sheer love and passion for the sport. Unfortunately, my love and passion doesn't pay the bills. Support from our racers does...
I have kept this place going much to my personal financial detriment, and I cannot continue to do so. If you love what we do, please support us, before it's too late. It's been one hell of a run, and I truly cherish all the friendships forged, and memories made within these four walls. I hope things pick up, and we can keep things rolling through the summer and fall months. If not, the writing is on the wall, and I'm hoping that this isn't the end of this chapter of my RC endeavors.
I hope you guys understand, you mean the world to me.
This place is so special to me.
Thank you for your time and support,
Matt Murphy
