New track at Ranchero Village officially opens
- Details
Welcome to the Rio Grande Valley, home of what seems to be the new NASCAR world of remote-control racing.
Possibly the hottest thing to come to the hottest part of the nation in years, RC racing has done more than taken the Winter Texan world by storm. It has consumed it.
The latest and newest development of the craze was celebrated last week as Ranchero Village in Weslaco as the park cut the ribbon on the Valley's first cement racetrack.
Just as in NASCAR, where there are shot tracks, flat tracks, high-banked tracks and more, with the addition of cement to its repertoire of track choices, RC drivers can do more than just go race.
Now they can learn how to set up their cars to maneuver the varying tracks, banks and surfaces.
