Race car enthusiasts have a new place to show off
their skills.
With a love for the hobby Rock
Weeks and his son Jared, created a remote control
race park in Mendon.
Rock Weeks says although Dust Devil Park is in a
small town, its attracting big city names.
"A lot of the manufacturers in this industry have
pro drivers, and course like this you don't see
anywhere in the area, I had a driver last weekend
that went around to Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas
City, to a lot of the bigger tracks."
Dust Devil opened three weeks ago, and already
has plenty of regulars.
For those who want to pick up the sport all you
need is your own car, and some free time.
Jared Weeks, "Very inexpensive you can take that
one car, and go along way with it before you ever
have to buy another one, its just easy to get
started and you can stay in for a long time.""
The track is open three days a week for practice
sessions, and Sundays for race day.
Races last five to seven minutes.
"Is it like the real thing? Its got to be
close the only thing is you don't get to feel
anything, its the easy smooth ride, of standing up
there, and watching the car go, I wouldn't want to
be in some of those wrecks."
