I’ve been working away on the new track layout and it is close enough to completion that I am confident it will be race worthy by April 26th.

ALL WIVES AND KIDS ARE WELCOME!

We’ll throw together some food and drinks and hopefully have some good weather so everyone can have some fun.

Practice: Starts at Noon

Format: 2 races: 1st race will consist of a Nascar and GT class. Each racer will drive on both lane 1 and lane 2 for 4 minutes each for both classes. We’ll run 2 heats for both classes and total the laps to determine the winner. The second race will be an open class, meaning you can pick a car to race with. We’ll run a 2 minute qualifier with a pace car to determine the braket seeds by the fastest lap times. Side bets between racers are also welcome between and after the main events.

Entry Fee: $5 per race

Track and Scale: The race will be held on an SCX analog track on 1:32 scale. Each lane is 51.5 feet long and it’s setup so that the fastest car won’t have a big advantage, it’s more about driving skill than the speed of the car. So make sure you get here in time to get in some practice. I’ve contacted SCX to see if they would be willing to chip in a car or two for the winners (not sure if it will happen or not). If you have a car, bring it along and run it in the open class if it doesn’t fit the nascar or GT class.

RSVP: Leave a comment here or send me an email (joelandon@gmail.com) if you will be attending or have questions.

Not on the List: If you know of anyone that would be interested in racing, please forward this along to them. The more racers we get the bigger the pot.
