Fun New Track!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for our first summer club race on Sunday. This was the first official race day at the UVic location and it went quite well.
Big thanks to the group from the lower mainland for coming over to join us: Jesse G, Keith Y, Mihai G, Nospoom S, and Tiny W. It was great to see you guys.
We all missed our good friend Tom. His racing spirit will live on with us forever.
Track setup went really smoothly given that it was the first time. We will get even quicker as we become more familiar with it.
The new track sprayer worked really well. Big thanks to Craig R, Dan L, and Rob F for tackling that project.
The PA system setup obviously needs some work. We are trying to find a balance that doesn't upset the neighbors. Will try some different speaker placements next week.
Next Race is this Sunday, June 1
We'll be running a full race program with three qualifiers, and mains.

We are club racing this Sunday June 1st. We'll be running a full race program with three qualifiers, and mains.
Track setup will begin at 9:30am. All racers are expected to help with track setup. I think setup should take about 30 mins with everyone working together.

Fun Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing last Sunday. We had a good turnout and some nice weather for a fun day of racing.
Big thanks to Chuck D and Jesse G for making the trip over from the Lower Mainland. It's always fun racing with these guys!
Shoutout to Thomas G for running his first ever IROCC race day and doing super well! Thomas brought his racing skills from COR Victoria and adapted them well to pavement racing. He improved his speed each time he hit the track. Great work Thomas!
Special mention to Brian A and Gerry B who ran some really tight racing in USGT. These guys are class acts and ran clean laps separated by just a few feet for most of the qualifiers and main. Fun to watch.
Congrats to Brodie B for some really good runs on this day. He keeps getting faster and faster!
Next Race is in Two Weeks, Sunday June 15
Due to last minute absences from some critical-path club members we are NOT racing this coming Sunday. Instead, we will be racing on Father's Day June 15th. Please come out and celebrate Father's Day with us!

Big Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing last Sunday to celebrate Father's Day with IROCC. We had a great turnout and some nice weather for a fun day of racing.
Big thanks to Keith Y, Nospoom S, and Tiny W for making the ferry trip once again. These guys have always been really supportive of our racing program.
Thank you to Dan L, Gerry B, Gord W, and Rob F for helping out with the computer duties throughout the day. This was super nice.
In general racing was very clean and competitive. Everyone did a great job!
Marshalling, setup, and teardown were all excellent as well. Please give Brian B, Craig R, and Dalyn S a pat on the back for working the inside of the van on these warm days.
Next Race is this Sunday, June 22
We are racing again this Sunday June 22nd.
*** We are also racing the following Sunday, June 29th as per the schedule. Originally this date was voted down but a lot more racers came forward wanting to keep it on the schedule and we have enough to race now.

Fun Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing last Sunday. The weather wasn't perfect but it stayed dry once we started qualifiers.
Given the lower grip conditions everyone ran really well. The first round was a bit slick but the track warmed up and the remaining rounds were quicker. We had some good racing in all three classes.
TC Stock featured a very close battle in the main between Dan L, Craig R, Jesse G, and Jay J. And similarly in USGT, we had a great race between Adam B, Jesse G, and Mick S. Both of these races were fun to watch. In Nitro, Craig R would run up front all race long and cruise to victory.
Thomas G had a big day getting faster and faster in TC and USGT. Great work Thomas! Neil J would be happy to see his old car running so well.
Next Race is this Sunday, June 29
We are racing again this Sunday June 29th. Hopefully we'll get a slightly warmer day this time around. We are expecting a guest driver in USGT... someone who used to race with IROCC many many years ago!

Big Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing last Sunday. We had a big turnout and some nice weather for a fun day of racing.
It was great to see ex-IROCCer Adam S out running the club loaner car! Thanks for joining us for the day Adam!
Thank you to Dan L, Gerry B, Gord W, and Rob F for helping out with the computer duties throughout the day. This helped keep the racing program running smoothly and we finished up almost on time.
Shoutout to Phil C for delivering the club tires. This process was not smooth this year due to reasons out of our control, so thank you to Phil for ultimately making it happen.
We saw lots of close racing but also some racing that could be cleaned up a lot. We all can make mistakes out there, but it's how you handle yourself afterward that matters. Let's work together to improve our race craft and provide a fun racing experience for everyone.
Next Race is in two weeks Sunday July 13
UVic has changed our July schedule a bit. The next race will be in two weeks on July 13th, and then July 27th.

Fun Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing last Sunday. It was a very warm day! Track setup and teardown are difficult in those conditions but we knocked them out very smoothly.
Traction was high - probably the highest it has been all season.
Dalyn walked away with TC Stock but there was a really good race for 2nd between Craig R, Jesse G, and Gerry B. That was a fun one to watch!
Shoutout to Phil C as he made it to the TC A-Main and turned some quick laps. His car looked very good all day.
Brian A, Gerry B, and Jesse G treated us to a great USGT main. These guys ran super close and clean giving us another exciting race.
Next Race is in two weeks Sunday July 27

Great Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing last Sunday. The weather was perfect and we had a good day on the track! Track setup and teardown were super quick and efficient which gave us extra practice time and an earlier finish time.
The TC Stock A-Main was quite neat. For the first four minutes the cars ran in exact qualifying order with only one change for position. There were a couple other changes in the final minute but it really underscored how close the racing is.
Big thanks to Phil C and Matthew C for getting newcomer Siddid on the track in USGT. Saddid did very well considering he had never run a car before!
Next Race is in two weeks Sunday August 10
Our next local club race is Sunday August 10th. Many of us will be at the RRR Summer Challenge in Richmond this weekend on Aug 2-3.

Next Race is in 1.5 weeks, Sunday August 24
We didn't have enough racers brave the heat last Sunday, and there is not enough interest to run a replacement race this Sunday.
So the next club race is Sunday August 24. It sounds like most people can make that one.

Fun Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing last Sunday. Big thanks to Ed L, Jesse G, and John T for taking the early ferry to join us for racing! The weather was very hot but we all survived and had a good day at the track. Setup and teardown were very efficient even given the tough conditions.
Big shoutout to Brian B and Craig R for working the back of the van during setup and teardown. There's no moving air in there so this is a very tough job in 30C heat.
Congrats to JT for owning the nitro class on his first ever visit to the new track!
The best race of the day was the TC Stock C-Main where we had a three way battle for the win between Chris B, Jack F, and Corey H. They were super close all race long, with Jack leading most of it. On the second to last lap there were about four passes in two corners and Chris would come out in the lead with Jack taking second place. It was a fun one to watch!
Next Race is in two weeks Sunday September 7
Our next club race is Sunday September 7th. We are expecting some visitors again for this one.

Fun Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing on Sunday. We had a light turnout but enough to run a regular race program, and the weather stayed dry which was slightly surprising!
In general the racing was really clean with everyone having to adapt to less grip than usual. This helps develop more precise control over your radio inputs which is good for all racers.
Congrats to Chris B for running really strong all day. He qualified and finished in 2nd place in Scale Spec with lap times on par with the winner Brian A.
Shoutout to Jay J who ran some of his most consistent laps in Nitro TC. He's had a very impressive rookie season in Nitro!
Final Summer Club Race is Sunday September 21
Our final club race of the outdoor season is in two weeks, on Sunday September 21st. We are expecting some visitors for this one if we can get some good weather.
