RC Parking-Lot Racing and Starting Your Own Race Club

In this episode of Radio Control Hobbies, host Chris Chianelli proves that you don't have to have access to a neighborhood track for some weekend on-road racing competition. All you need is access to a parking lot and some basic track components, and you can start your own RC race club. Tips and techniques for parking lot racing are featured, and Chris demonstrates how to lay out a basic parking-lot track using readily-available materials-like traffic cones and manufactured corner markers. To add a high-tech element to weekend racing, Chris shows how to incorporate computer-based lap-counting system. Chris also talks with an expert on lap-counting systems specifically designed for this type of competition.
