<P>I think the track appeared in 1999. Next thing MA will need to do is give 49% of the Mag. contents to R/C Cars. If you look in the Tower Hobbies Catalogue and count the pages almost 45% of their pages are for R/C cars. I don't know what a race track in Muncie has to do with model aviation or who justified or built the track but this could be the next big push by AMA after they get all the PARK Flyer pilots to sign up and pay AMA dues. Rank and File members don't count they are already paying dues. So if marketing trend's mean anything we could be looking at a change in name from Academy of Model Aernautics to American Model Association. who knows?</P>

<DIV></DIV>>No. Muncie has an RC Car track.
<DIV></DIV>>There is likely a good reason for it, but I wondered when I first saw it.

<DIV></DIV>>I wonder about the insurance aspects of free-flight. Between all the risky
<DIV></DIV>>looking launch systems and the motorized chasers it looks pretty exciting.
