DHW Raceway in San Diego

If your looking to do some parking lot racing in San Diego, today is your lucky day. Discount Hobby Warehouse, and race organizer Frank Mijares (Of Franks Bodies) are working together to bring a great race program that keeps attracting more and more racers every race day! I met Frank about a month ago he runs a pretty cool club program for on-road locals in San Diego. Racing is open to anyone and everyone that has an r/c car and wants to try their hand in racing.

It looks like right now, racing is taking place every 1st and 3rd Sundays, though schedule is subject to change. Track opens at 8am, and racing starts at 10am. Racing usually concludes around 3-4pm.

Discount Hobby Warehouse's address:

7644 Clairemont Mesa Blvd
San Diego, CA 92111
(858) 560-9633

Currently there are on average of 7-9 heats per round. Racing includes two rounds of qualifying, and the Mains. Classes are Stock Sedan, 19-turn Sedan, Modified Sedan, and 1/18th scale mini's. If there are enough cars of any other different class, a new class can be started and raced. They also have been getting slash stock and mod classes. One thing I noticed when I get out to DHW races, is that they put wooden jumps out for the slash trucks. Very nice. If your concerned about not having a transponder for your car, not to worry Frank manually counts the laps for everyone. He does a great job doing it with 7 plus cars in a race. Wow!

Brushless motors, and LiPo batteries are allowed for racing. Come on out and enjoy a great day of R/C Racing. Race entries are only $10 not sure about the second class entry fee... Good luck to all the drivers today... Hope to see you out at DHW Raceway today.


Stay tuned for my next Blog...
