RC Car Proposal from Steve Hanke <br />Steve Hanke presented a proposal to build a radio controlled car and truck race track and <br />driving area at Irish Avenue Park. The RC cars and trucks would be primarily battery powered <br />with electric motors. Hanke demonstrated how an RC car sounds as it is driven and shared that <br />they are quiet and would not disturb neighbors, horseback riders, walkers, dogs, etc. The <br />hobby is for kids of all ages but primarily ages 10 and up. Because the average run time per <br />battery is 15 minutes, a driver would be at the park for approximately 60 to 90 minutes at a time. <br />The track would be built and maintained by volunteers. It would be temporary and easy to move <br />or re -locate. The suggested track size is 100' by 40' with a practice driving space. Hanke <br />proposed that the track be constructed near the existing parking lot. Hanke asked for support <br />
