The Tamiya America R&D test facility was built in 1993 and it is used to test and evaluate new products. It is also used to host many of Tamiya America's racing events and a few industry racing events. These events include the Tamiya Championship Series, The Reedy Race of Champions and the KO PROPO Grand Prix. 

When these events aren't taking place the Tamiya Test Track is open to the general public every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. except on holidays, weather permitting. We welcome all with a passion for radio control race cars to come by and join the fun. It's a great place to learn how to drive on a smooth asphalt racetrack as well as learn how to set up a radio control car to changing track conditions. We also have a dirt track where everyone can enjoy their favorite Tamiya off-road vehicle.

2. New comers may easily identify their radios frequency by looking at the back of their radio. If you are uncertain please ask the track official to help you.

2. You must drive from the drivers stand.

3. Keep your car under control. Practice smooth control.

4. Do not stop in the middle of the track. If a problem arises be sure to pull off the driving line and out of the way of the flow of traffic.

5. If you are stuck on the track somewhere or your car is upside down be sure to warn your fellow drivers on the drivers stand by vocally calling out where the incident is. I.E. if your car is upside down in the sweeper section call out "upside down car in the sweeper section" or "dead car on the straight away" Calling out incidents like this will prevent unnecessary collisions or accidents.

6. Never stop in the high speed straight away. Always pull your car off from the track in the pit row area.

7. If a car is lapping the track at a higher pace than yours make way by moving over a foot or two to let the faster car by. Slower cars need not stop to give way as all is needed is a foot or two for a faster car to cruise by.

8. Never turn on your radio or car on unless you have the correct frequency clip. If you have a Spread Spectrum equipped radio it's OK to turn on your radio.

9. If your vehicle is equipped with reverse, only use it when it's absolutely safe from oncoming traffic.

10. If parts come off your car and spill onto the track due to an accident please make sure it's safe to walk on the track before retrieving them. Watch for approaching cars at all times.

With the above rules and guidelines being observed by all our guests we can insure a fun and safe experience. For our new guests we know that it can be intimidating being the new guy at the track with little to no experience. Please feel free to introduce yourselves to the track official and to the people who frequent the track. We promise they don't bite and they are more than happy to teach you the ropes.
