AMain.com built the huge Silver Dollar RC Raceway on the fairgrounds in Chico, CA specifically with large racing events in mind, making the expansive pit area and gigantic track surface ideal for an event like the ROAR Fuel Off-Road Nationals. The facility's manager, Kevin Jelich, created an incredible course for this week's race, with over a dozen jumps and some of the biggest elevation changes of any track in the world.
