Just in time for America's big Independence Day celebration, racing under the patriotic gaze of the four presidents on Mount Rushmore National Memorial has arrived!

Rushmore Scenic Byway is a 3.8 mile fantasy road course based on real roads and the incredible scenery of the Black Hills of South Dakota with a 1950s twist. Classic nostalgic roadside attractions are featured throughout the track, some still operating, some that are long gone and some that never were.

NR2003 Track Maker Stefano Dimera and South Dakota Tourism Photographer Chad Coppess have combined their talents for a unique experience that took 1 ½ years to complete.

As you navigate through a recreation of the real-life Needles Highway and Iron Mountain Road’s pigtail bridges and tunnels, you will pass Crazy Horse Memorial, Sylvan Lake, Dinosaur Park, the Days of ’76 Rodeo and Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Billboards along the way advertise other attractions such as Thunderhead Falls, Trout Haven and Wall Drug.

The Rushmore Scenic Byway is available right here at www.racingrafix.com with a companion GN69ST carset sponsored by even more South Dakota tourist attractions.

So let the sparks fly and the fireworks begin this July 4th weekend!

The Earthscapes Truck Series is now entering it's 7th season, and has always shown to be a popular division week in and week out.

Featuring the NCTS09 mod, the 10 week season is loosely based on the real life truck series schedule with a few short tracks thrown in for good measure. This series is open to RGRL drivers and allows any view and driving aids to be used.

If you would like to sign up and race in this series, checkout the RGRL General Discussion forum for more information.

Back by popular demand, it's the EZRaceSite.com Sportsman Division featuring the SNSC70 Mod and CTS Physics. This great series has always had a great car count week in and week out, and this season looks to be no different.

With open view and driving aids allowed, this series puts the rookie drivers right along side the veterans for some great short track action.

Monday Nights - Practice starts at 8:30PM Eastern and we qualify at 9:00PM.

This is a 10 week season with a 2 race drop, so only 8 out of 10 weeks count toward the points total. We remove your 2 worst finishes, or you can miss 2 weeks and still be in the points hunt.
