ATTENTION CUSTOMERS!!

We are happy to announce that the track will be open on Monday, June 22nd!! Due to COVID-19, we must try our best to continue to social distance while in the track area. The track area will be limited to 25 people at a time. Every pit table can only hold 2 people. X's have been placed on areas of the pit table where you cannot pit. You will be allowed a max of 4 hours in the track area (this does not include races). You are able to stay more than 4 hours if there is no one waiting to take your spot.
Races will be held every Friday and Sunday. There is a max of 25 racers. To race, you must sign up in advance. Signups will open every Monday at 10:00am for the following Friday and Sunday race days. To sign up for a race, you MUST call us at (253)565-1935. You cannot not sign up to race both Friday and Sunday due to the limited number of racers allowed in the track area. If your hope is to race both days, you can be placed on a list as an alternate for the race day that you are not signed up for. Once a race day is at full capacity, we will post an update on both our Facebook page and website. There will be no spectators allowed in the track area, but there is an exception for racers 12 and under. Racers 12 and under will be allowed one parent/guardian in the track area with them.

The track area has plenty of room to practice social distancing. Temperature checks will be taken upon arrival to verify health. The driver’s stand is clearly marked for a maximum of 6 drivers at a time and operates at a specific direction, entry from the left side (looking at the stand) and exit on the right side. Controlled practice will be running at all times for a 10-minute session. If you need something from the hobby shop while you are using the track, please proceed out the back door and respect the 3-person limit in the hobby shop. There may be a line.

COVID-19 Announcement!!

ATTENTION TACOMA R/C RACEWAY CUSTOMERS

In the light of the rapidly changing status of COVID-19, it is at our upmost responsibility to ensure the safety of our customers and staff.

In response to the mandatory shut down of specific facilities governor Jay Inslee has put in place, starting Tuesday, March 17th, the entirety of the track area will be closed. The hobby shop WILL remain open for business. This means there will be no open practice and no club racing until further notice.

We highly recommend social distancing at this time. The health of our customers and staff is our top priority. We appreciate everyone’s support as we all try and navigate through this difficult time.

Thank you,
Management

ATTENTION CUSTOMERS

We want to make clear that the hobby shop will still be open for business during our regular hours. Those hours are Monday through Sunday, 10am-8pm. To make our customers feel as comfortable as possible regarding COVID-19, there are a few steps we are taking to ensure the safety of our community. Those steps include:

We will be taking orders over the phone that will then be available for pick up the same day.
Those orders that were made over the phone can then be brought to your car so contact with others is limited.

To place an order, please call (253)565-1935 and one of our staff members will happily take your order!

We know this is a difficult time and we are taking every precaution into account to ensure the health and safety of both our customers and staff.

We are deeply saddened to announce that NIS Round #5 will be postponed until further notice. This was one of the hardest decisions to make but it is something that must be done to ensure the health of our customers and employees.

NIS Round #5 will NOT be ran on April 4th-5th. We are diligently working around the clock to find an acceptable new date for NIS Round #5. As soon as we have more information regarding COVID-19, we will be able to make the right decision in moving forward with NIS Round #5.

As always, the health of our community is our highest responsibility. We thank you for your cooperation during this difficult time.

Thank you,
