Big News and Changes for PG2

Dawnwalk · 02-21-2010, 04:53 PM

Big News!!!!

We would like to welcome Lance Jones and Don Owens as new operators of the Proving Grounds 2. They bring with them new enthusiasm, new classes, and new layouts to our facilities.

We will still run all the old favorite classes, 1/10 Truck, 1/8 Buggy, 1/8 Truggy but will be adding oval classes such as Eastcoast Dirt Modified (EDM), Latemodel, Sprint, Oval Truck, Slash classes and many others.

This decision was made by the club for the betterment of the track to bring more enthusiasm and excitement that has been lost in years past to our local area. We wanted also to bring new oval classes to this area such as 1/8 buggy conversions to latemodels and EDM's to offer a variety of rc racing. These are only a few of the classes that have been all the rage in rc racing in the last year.

Easy access from I-95, we are centrally located to offer even more and exciting rc racing to the public here in the midlands of South Carolina.

Come out and see the new and exciting changes in the coming weeks to our facilities and meet Lance and Don and help welcome and support them to the Proving Grounds 2 for some extra-ordinary rc racing.

Good to hear Change can be good! Support your local track and watch it grow Stand back and complain and watch it disappear!

Thanks and hats off to Lance and Don for stepping up to the plate and trying to grow the sport!
If I can be of assistance please let me know!

roupedaddy · 02-22-2010, 07:00 PM

things will turn out great...this is a step in the right direction. We needed a fresh start and to step out of the box......Ladies and gentlemen it is just dirt bunched up in piles for us big kids to play on and thats what we all are going to do and we will all have a blast doing so. Don't single people out and post attacks on them as though they are solely responsible.
When the dust settles (play on words....get it!) we will have another outstanding facility as though we always have. Get pumped up b/c there is more fun to be had!!!!! I promise!!!
You don't need to post responses to this b/c thats not what it is intended for but if you feel a need to do so call me and we can have a discussion.803-464-1005

I have deleted my posts from yesterday,sorry if it offended anyone.
I do hope off-road racing continue's in sumter,even if its a smaller track.
I wish lance and don the very best of luck,i'm sure they will make great operators and maybe new leadership.
I would like to ask all the off-roaders to please give them a fair chance at improving the racing at sumter,and give them the support it takes to make our sport grow.This will be my last post on this subject.
Thanks

Thanks Ricky, I'm sure if everyone gives us a chance the track will be to their liking. Just to let you know how big it will be , we hope to be able to run 1/5 Baja's on it. Thanks for your support and we hope to see everyone at the track. Don Owens.
