Hello people. First of all can i say hello to everyone on the forum.
I thought i would ask you guys/girls for some advice. I'm not from around this area and really have no idea where anything is. What we are looking for is an area like a dirt bike track, bmx track, RC car track or a nice piece of land. The reason I'm looking for this is me and some friends race Petrol RC cars and we are trying to find some areas we can run these things. If anyone knows of a great bit of land or an area to run these any suggestions would be great as we are finding it hard to find anywhere. Even better would be if we could find a piece or bit of land to start a track of some kind so that a local club could be started for the yound and old. I'm very surprised that there is only one off road RC track that is located in Salem but it's way to small for the size of the cars we are running.

we are looking at building or setting up a nice track like this so we can give the young and old something to do at the weekends and evening.

Below is an idea of what we are looking to achieve and the type of RC cars we will be using but any type will be welcome.

I hope someone could point us in the right direction.

Is this a business venture? Or are you looking to buy some land to enjoy this hobby in a recreational setting just for some friends?

It will be Just friends to start with and other people would be more than welcome to join and help build a track and invest some time and labour and perhaps turn it into a rc club track. Im not looking at making any money from it. It would just be nice to have a place for people to run their RC cars in this area.
