Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing last Saturday. We had a big turnout and lots of good racing.
The 12th Scale class is tighter than the NFC West and it seems like anyone has a shot any given Saturday night. Dalyn S and Jarrod H were the quickest in qualifying but old timers Blake B, Craig R, and Nick F were in the mix as well. Ultimately it would be Dalyn taking a wire-to-wire win in the main after a flawless run.
Nick F kept his dominance over the TC class with a win in the main even after Dan L set the TQ. Yes Nick's car is quick but his driving was pretty top notch that night too.
Congrats to Shawn Z for a 6th place finish in the TC A-Main. Good night from him! And similarly, Sean B ran super well in 12th Scale all night, making it into the A-Main in a busy field.
Next Race is Saturday Dec 14
The next race is in two weeks on Saturday Dec 14. Doors open at 4:00PM. We will run a full race program with three qualifiers followed by the mains. This will be the last race in 2024. First race in January is Jan 11, 2025.

Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing on Saturday. We had a good turnout and lots of good racing. Setup and teardown were both super fast. Thank you to all those that pitch in to make it a club effort.
So far this season there has been a high level of league parity. We had two new winners in Craig R and Dan L which makes six unique winners out of eight A-Mains this season. I guess the salary cap must be working.... Seriously though congrats to these guys, and especially to Dan for getting his first IROCC win!
Huge shoutout to Phil C for making it to racing after eating Saturday breakfast four time zones away in Halifax. That's dedication!
Glenn A had a strong night with a 2nd place finish in TC and Tim B seems to have found a home in the top group after only a few race nights which is great to see.
Shoutout to Paul Y for finishing 3rd in the 12th Scale B-Main. That was a good run especially given his car looked a little unbalanced out there. Nice work Paul.
Brian B turned in some nice runs as well, with some of his cleanest driving we've seen lately. And Rain A set a career best time in the TC main by several seconds which was great to see!

Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing on Saturday. Setup and teardown were very smooth. We had a lighter turnout which made for a more laid-back schedule and some extra practice.
Dalyn S was the class of the field on this night with two TQs and two wins. What made it even more impressive was that this was his first race of the season and he was running a new 12th Scale car that he'd never driven before. He will be tough to beat this year.
Dan L had a great run in the TC A-Main keeping Dalyn honest for almost the entire main, never more than a few feet behind. Unfortunately he made a small tap on the last lap but it was a great effort nonetheless.
Jay J and Ryan P had a very close finish in the 12th Scale B-Main for the final bump-up to the A-Main. Jay miscalculated his lead and let Ryan close the gap leading to a shootout over the last half lap. It was fun to watch even if it was born out of a mental error!

Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing on Saturday. Setup and teardown were both very smooth which allowed for some extra practice time.
Highlights of the night:
Jarrod H debuted his new 12th Scale car and took it to a strong win, even with an older motor. Blake B and Craig R were in the hunt for the whole race but Jarrod didn't make any mistakes. Nice run J-Rod.
The TC B-Main featured an epic battle between Jay and Tim B for the second transfer spot to the A-Main. This was Tim's first ever carpet race with IROCC and he got up to speed quickly. Initially Jay tried a clumsy pass which wasn't great, so he regrouped and made a really nice clean pass coming out of the pool table corner. Unfortunately he gave it back to Tim on the next lap. Finally, on the last couple laps Jay tried a third time and made a pass around the outside coming out of the big "S" section and this time it stuck. It was really fun to watch these guys. Hats off to both Jay and Tim for some great driving while also showing great on track etiquette.
Shoutout to Jack F and Joe F for continuing to get faster and cleaner in their racing programs. They've both been running fairly regularly the last few years and you can see it in their driving. These guys both managed to finish ahead of brother Rob for a little family bragging rights.
Armed with a transponder for the first time, Rain A made steady progress throughout the night, peaking with 13 laps in the main. Great work Rain!
Special mention to Wendell C and Avery B for helping out a potential new racer with the loaner car. Wendell and Avery weren't even racing that night but they managed to get another racer on the track which was awesome. Thanks guys!

Last post by Blake - October 07, 2024, 07:10:53 PMExcellent First Carpet Race!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for our first carpet race of the season on Saturday. We had a good turnout and lots of strong performances. Setup was a little slow due to laying out a new track. It will be twice as fast next time now that the layout is chalked and all the corners are preassembled. We will run 3x qualifiers next time.
Big shoutout to Phil C and Shawn Z for bringing along all the PA gear and the extra scaffold planks. Much appreciated guys!
A few notable performances, especially from some of our new racers:
Rich F had never touched an RC car transmitter in his life and managed to run the loaner car to a D-Main win and a bump-up in the C-Main. He was very consistent all evening, steadily getting faster with each lap.
Rain A ran the second club car, and although she didn't have a transponder, she also ran impressively well with zero RC experience. Really awesome to see!
Another new racer Gavin A also caught on very quickly and ran some clean laps in qualifying. Great work Gavin.
Matthew C had a career night qualifying 11th overall in TC earning a solid B-Main spot. He also ran 12th Scale for the first time and did very well bumping out of the C-Main and getting some extra runtime in the B-Main.
Special mention to Dale S and Kevin M for doing really well in their first ever onroad carpet races!
And finally, awesome performance from Ryan P, making his first ever 12th Scale A-Main in the modern era of IROCC!
There are too many good performances to list as racing was quite competitive with lots of racers stepping up early in the season. Let's keep it going.
Next Race is Saturday Oct 26
We have three weeks until the next race, Saturday Oct 26th. Doors open at 4:00PM. We will run a full race program with three qualifiers followed by the mains.
