Salinas Area Modelers

If you’ve been following us for the last year, or so, you know that our members have been working tirelessly on a new dirt oval. Well…. The track is to a point that we feel it is appropriate to hold some races.

We will be holding a race series this season, to coincide with our Ruddergate Potluck BBQ’s. Our first race will be Saturday, April 25th.

This process will be a work in progress, while we work out our system, so please bear with us. We will be racing the classes listed on the flyer. There will be some requirements of the cars, but let’s just say, we are aiming to keep them as stock as possible. We’ll publish more in the next week or so.

Driver’s meeting at 1:00 pm. There will be open practice in the morning.

ALL DRIVERS MUST BE SALINAS AREA MODELERS MEMBERS. This is a requirement of our use agreement and lease. We’re not trying to be difficult…. We have one type of membership and all members get use of the whole facility. As our origins are based in r/c airplanes, all members must join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics), take the TRUST test and register with the FAA. Check the website at for more information on joining. Total cost to join is around $300, for the first year. Dues are $100 / year (plus AMA dues) after the initial year.
