SpeedWorld Hobbies and Mail Order was established in 2000. SpeedWorld Raceway had been one of the premier racing facilities for on-road and oval 1/10th scale nitro and electric racing from 1999 to 2021.

Established in 1999, SpeedWORLD Raceway & Hobbies has been a frontrunner in Electric and Nitro Racing.

 For over two decades, they have traveled across the country to participate in races, support their clientele, and welcome new customers. SpeedWORLD Raceway is renowned for hosting some of the largest and most prestigious races globally.

• Since 1999, SpeedWorld Raceway & Hobbies was considered one of the first full-time RC race facilities in the country to offer racers a complete racing experience with full amenities.
• Amenities included a full-time hot and cold snack bar featuring specialty foods, sandwiches, chips, ice cream, beverages, and treats requested by racers for convenience during race events.
• SpeedWorld Raceway & Hobbies featured 96 permanent pit spots measuring 2 ft. x 4 ft. with shelves, along with six permanent 20 ft. x 40 ft. shade canopies covering the pit tables and area at all times.
• The facility also provided 192 electrical outlets throughout the pit area, so power availability was never a problem for racers and their equipment.
• Permanent fairground restrooms were available for all guests during certain times, and SpeedWorld also supplied 1 or 2 two additional clean portable restrooms — one for men and one for women only. The restrooms were maintained and decorated to provide the comforts of home. The wives especially appreciated their extra effort, and it helped women decide and encourage families to come out and enjoy race weekends together.
  
  
• SpeedWorld Hobby Shop was known by many racers as “The Largest Little Hobby Shop in the Country,” if not the world. Even though the building was only 10 ft. wide by 40 ft. long, SpeedWorld packed more inventory and high-end performance products into the store than many larger hobby shops at the time. There was not much that SpeedWORLD did not carry. and the invetory you could never imagine that this little shop had inside.
• Back in the day, SpeedWorld carried almost every major aftermarket performance part, high-end racing product, and products from all major manufacturers in the RC industry — long before many hobby shops even considered stocking those items in-house or can get at the time.
• SpeedWorld specialized in competitive RC racing products ranging from 1/10-scale electric on-road cars to 1/10 and 1/8-scale nitro on-road racing. Racers from all over knew they could count on SpeedWorld to carry the latest performance parts, upgrades, and hard-to-find products needed to stay competitive.
• SpeedWorld was the sole USA distributor for Sorex Tires until 2011, when Tsunami slowed the distribution process down.
• I would personally like to thank one of the world’s best RC drivers and World Champion, Mike Swauger and personal friend, for inviting me to Hong Kong in 2001 to attend their Hong Kong Electric On-Road Nationals.
• Mike Swauger played a major role in helping SpeedWorld pick up the Team Sorex and Team Xpress product lines, allowing SpeedWorld to become a USA distributor for these outstanding products and brands.
• SpeedWORLD facility also had a grid area next to the drivers stand for the drivers that where in the next heat to be ready to go up the stairs, it was also fully shaded. It was also used to grid up the drivers in the Nitro classes. 
  
  
• SpeedWORLD also had a tire trueing are full hook up and clean area to true the foam tires, the drivers always kept that area clean.
• SpeedWORLD also had a full size heat sheet board for the heat sheets to be posted, it just wasnt a wall, it was a score board. 
• SpeedWORLD had a washsink, emergency kit on the mounted on the hobby shop outside wall and even storage if racers wanted to leave somenthing behind. 
  • In mid-2011, SpeedWorld Raceway decided to build an off-road track layout on top of the existing 180 ft. x 130 ft. asphalt on-road track. The layout featured carpet-covered jumps placed throughout the track to create a unique off-road racing experience.
  • The carpet on the jumps helped the cars launch and land smoother while also protecting the asphalt surface from chipping and damage during racing.
  • To build the layout, SpeedWorld creatively used plow discs, garden hoses, special made accordion wooden ramps w/sidewalls that would extend from 4 ft to 12 long x 8 ft wide, six custom-made 4-inch high x 8-foot wide  sheet metal speed bump ramps and obstacles throughout the course.
  • The track was an absolute blast to race on and became one of the most unique and creative track designs ever built at SpeedWorld Raceway.
  • The track design was very unique and extremely fun to race on. Multiple jumps were built ranging from 4 feet long up to 12 feet long, including several tabletop jumps that made the racing exciting and challenging for all skill levels.
  • The combination of asphalt racing surfaces with carpet-covered jumps created an awesome racing experience that many racers still remember today as one of the most creative layouts SpeedWorld Raceway ever built.
• I have to give a special thanks to these guys that where always there to helpSpeedWORLD from the begging of 1999 for 19 years until i sold the track.
  These guys worked their asses of all the time and gave many thankless hours. These guys were always there when needed to build, fix, clean and repair. Special thank you goes out to Scotty Barnes, R.I.P. Tom Meyers, Javier Arroyo, Mike Hall, Otto Rosa, Clint Riley, without these guys it would of been a way more difficult to get things done or at time to be ready for the next race.
