All the circle-track action of stock car auto racing will be at Soldotna's Progress Days including thrills, chills and miniature grills. Operating out of Anchorage, business owner Kevin Monson gives Alaska residents a chance to race radio-controlled stock cars on an indoor, banked, oval track. The Xtreme Race Track is completely slotless. You can go forward, backward, all over the track. Xtreme Racing does not use hand-held remote controls.
Racers operate their stock cars from a steering console.
Similar to driving an automobile, radio-controlled stock car drivers must successfully use a steering wheel and shifter. A remote starts the track. The cars measure 20 inches long by 9 inches wide. Monson said racers enjoy watching the quiet, electric cars whiz around the track and warned that the hobby can be quite engrossing. We've had people stay in one spot and not move all day long.
