Here is a little History about OTR Speedway.![]() (4-14-08)It might be hard to imagine but R/C Oval racing is a bit addicting. To the average person our "Kind" might seem to be grown men holding tight to a childhood toy but to those who know it's much more. OTR Speedway or Oval Track Racing Speedway as few know of it anymore was started over a decade ago by a kid looking to have some fun with friends. Today the track you see pictured above has seen some crazy wrecks, fast laps, and even crazier drivers. But one thing that was true back when the track was but a small oval in the yard is still true today. Racing ANY form of R/C car with others is a very rewarding sport and to those of us who understand it's one great way to spend an evening. We will continue to operate Free of Charge to the public and hope to bring years of fun and racing excitement to the generations that come.
In 2000 I headed for college and the track would become overgrown until late in
2004 when the first re-construction would take place. The original layout had
20' straights,35' radius corners, and was 6' wide. In 2004 the track would get it's much needed face-lift which included banking in the corners and was widened to 8'. This configuration lasted until the spring of 2006 when it's new surface would finally
be planned and built. In 2006 the track would be widened to 10' with 40deg. of
banking in the corners and the overall length would be stretched to 130'. A
front stretch pit lane would be added that is 4' wide and runs the length of the
front stretch. I would also add 8" retaining walls in the corners. The racing
surface is a sand-clay mixture which is pretty smooth and has a lot of grip.
Even with the small 130' length the banking provides for great 2 and 3 wide
racing and a lot of fun. We race many types of R/Cs including 1/10th Electric,
1/10th Nitro, and 1/18th scale Mini's.![]() If it's racing under the lights that you like we also have lights here at OTR Speedway! We use several 500 watt light polls to light up the night. We also have power and water available at the track to keep the dust down and to plug in chargers. Restrooms are only available in the form of the nearest tree... Parking around the track is available but you'll need a truck or be handy with your car. There is also parking at the house. This site maintained by Sean Foote Web Designs © 2008 |
