A new crew, a fresh start

Northland RC Club Inc. is a brand-new racing crew coming together for the 2027 season at Thomas Frank Whitebird RC Park in Cloquet. The park gives us two tracks to race on — a dirt off-road course and a clay oval. Whether you've raced for years or you just picked up your first truck, there's a place for you on the stand.

Right now we're building the roster for year one. Membership is $25 for the year and race entry is $10 per entry. Email or call to join, and tell us what you run — that helps shape the classes and the calendar for the first season.

Our clay oval — a smooth loop with a clay surface and orange safety fencing down the front. Built for door-to-door laps, lap after lap.

About the photo: the structure on the left is the announcer booth. The driver's stand isn't in yet — it will be put in later, and this photo will be updated when it is.
