IROCC Summer Speed Weekend 2023 Trophy Race, Save The Date

IROCC racers and friends,

This summer's Speed Weekend 2023 onroad asphalt trophy race in Victoria BC will be held July 15-16 2023.  This date is one week later than the traditional date but it works better for most of our club members as well as some of our key administrative personnel.

Please mark this date in your family calendar if you are planning to attend.

Travellers, Important!
Victoria is Canada's second most expensive city to visit in the summer (next only to Richmond) so it would be wise to book a refundable hotel now, even if you're not 100% sure you can attend.  Hotels fill up very quickly.  You really only need one night (Sat July 15).

Nearby Hotel
This place is just up the street and comes highly recommended by a travel influencer I know:

Another Great Race Night!
Thanks to everyone who attended Saturday's club race.  We had a big turnout and saw lots of good racing.  As is typical, some TC drivers in the middle-pack range are over driving a bit, and you will go at least one lap faster if you slow down.

It was great to see Ed M and Alex M back on the track mixing it up at the top of the TC class.

No one seems to have pace to compete with Brian A in TC right now.  Hopefully he gets some challengers next week.

Dan P made his return this week and picked up where he left off.  Always impressive he can find his way into the A-Main when not running regularly.

Dalyn S was back as well, and ran the fastest single laps in 12th Scale, but had some bad luck at the start of the main which kept him out of contention for the win.


Next Race is Saturday Feb 11
Doors open at 4:00PM.  We will run a full race program with three qualifiers followed by the mains.

Club racing this Saturday January 28th
This Saturday evening is our next club race.  Doors open at 4:00pm and track setup starts at 4:10pm.  All local racers are expected to help with track setup (reasonable exceptions are fine).

We will run a full race program with three qualifiers followed by the mains.  Make sure your cars are ready to go.

Friendly reminder that if you are running in the top couple heats in your class, you should be running a ROAR legal motor.  No "outlaw" type motors should be used here.  If you are a new racer then any motor is fine.

See you Saturday!

If you're bored on this off-week, checkout the updated IROCC Analytics app brought to us by our friendly analyst.  The app fits properly on mobile screens now.

Choose your name and race date, and then click the Ranking tab to see how your average lap times and hero laps stacked up that night.

If you really want to geek out, try the Diagnostics tab to see how many of your laps are were better than your seasonal average.  More grey bars to left of the blue dashed line indicates your laps were largely better than your seasonal average.

Fun Race Night!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing on Saturday.  We had a good turnout and lots of fun racing!  Special thanks to the guys working the players benches to get our equipment in and out.  There are a few of you that always step up, in particular Brian B.  It's much appreciated and it helps our track setup go smoothly.

Congrats to Brian A who was dominant in TC all night, with no one really able to challenge him.

Shout out to Craig R for taking TQ and the win in 12th Scale with a couple of really strong runs.

It's nice to see Sean B becoming part of the top group in TC, qualifying 5th overall.

Daryl J also had a strong night in TC, qualifying into the A-Main.

Dan L showed some flashes of brilliance, but needs to make a clean race to move to the next level.

It was nice to see Shawn Z back on the track after an extended absence!

Newcomer Ian S joined our novice group and fit in very well until his servo gave out.

Next Race is Saturday Jan 28
Doors open at 4:00PM.  We will run a full race program with three qualifiers followed by the mains.

Club racing this Saturday January 14th
After a holiday break, we are back racing this Saturday evening.  Doors open at 4:00pm and track setup starts at 4:10pm.  All local racers are expected to help with track setup (reasonable exceptions are fine).

We will run a full race program with three qualifiers followed by the mains.  Make sure your cars are ready to go.

This race marks the start of the winter points series which will be 6-8 races long (two throw outs) taking us to the end of March or April.  This series is just for fun!  Winners earn first pick of pit boxes this summer....


See you there!

Thanks for everyone that came out for the last race of 2022 and the first points series of the winter season.

We had some fresh faces show up, and Avelyn impressed all with her steady improvement through the night and blazing fast corner marshalling.

There was great racing throughout the field.

Race results and points are at the usual location.

Next series starts Jan 14.

Thanks to all who made it out to racing this past weekend.

We had a lower than normal turn-out, which allowed for a more relaxed program.

We also saw some new racers turn out, which was great to see!

Matthew Cady managed to pull off an upset to finish better than his Dad, Phill. I'm sure he won't let his Dad off the hook either!

The TC Stock main turned out to be a clinic put on by Brian A, outclassing the rest of the field. There was some excellent door to door racing, but in the end nobody could keep up to the TQ and first place finisher.

The 1/12 scale class was similar, with Craig R dominating both qualifying and the main event.

Race results and points are available in the usual location.

Next race day is December 17th.
