Cleanup day won't work on a Saturday, Blake. Too many people use the parking lot for what it is supposed to be used as, a park and ride. I thought we were scheduled to do cleanup this Sunday, April 29.

Right, sorry I forgot about that. Schedule has been fixed.

Hey all,

Well, the first summer raceday is just a few days away. I am excited because I thought that I was going to miss it due to a dumb work trip, but it turns out I will be able to make racing after all. Here is a little reminder about our new schedule:

Quote from: blake
Track setup will begin at 9AM sharp, and all racers in attendance at 9AM will receive a pink raffle ticket. If you are late, you will not get a ticket. Then, at the end of the day, after the last hose is loaded, Craig will draw the winning ticket behind the truck. You must be standing there, at the back of the truck, to be eligible to win. The winner will receive a free raceday the following Sunday.

The first qualifier will start at 10:30AM and we will reduce to two qualifiers when turnouts are high. We will set a cutoff time (1PM), and if we have not finished the 2nd round of qualifying by this time, we will skip the 3rd round and go directly into the Mains.

A few things I'm looking forward to:

1) The novices showing us what R/C is all about as they did several times last summer
2) "Lean it out!" from NickF
3) The first person to disintegrate a 12th Scale chassis
4) Thomas mixing it up in Nitro after proclaiming that he'd never do that again
5) "On the tone"

Fingers crossed for the weather. See ya all there!

Every year atleast one nitro vehicle bites the dust on the unofficial test'n'tune day.. Just keeping up tradition..

Yup that was my first club experience. I just introduced myself as I watched a buggy climb the hill and crunch.

Hey all,

Well, today was a great first raceday. Hopefully we'll fill out the numbers a little more in the next couple of weeks. We had some good racing in all classes and it looked like everyone was having a lot of fun.

I took down the names of everyone that help setup and teardown. We'll scramble them up next Sunday and draw a name. The winner will race for free.

RRR Race in Richmond - Date Change

Hey all,

Just a heads up that the RRR Trophy Race in Richmond has moved from Aug 11/12 to Aug 4/5.

I hope we can get a big group to head over this year to repay the amazing support we consistently get from them.

Hope the 30ft rv isn't parked in our pits tomorrow morning.
