🏁 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT – HOT ROD HOBBIES DIRT OVAL RACING 🏁

Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news to share with our dirt oval racing community.

Effective immediately, our Dirt Oval Racing Program at Hot Rod Hobbies will be suspended indefinitely.

This is certainly not an announcement we wanted to make, but due to changes in availability within our dedicated dirt oval track crew, we are no longer in a position to properly maintain and operate the racing program at the level our racers have come to expect and deserve.

For those who may not realize it, putting on a successful racing program involves much more than simply opening the gates and turning on the lights. There are countless hours of track preparation, maintenance, race organization, announcing, and behind-the-scenes responsibilities that most people never see.

Much of this work has been performed by a small group of dedicated individuals who have generously volunteered their time while balancing full-time jobs, family commitments, and their own personal lives.

We cannot thank these individuals enough for everything they have done to keep our dirt oval racing program going. Their dedication, hard work, and passion for the hobby have meant a great deal to us, and we sincerely appreciate the countless hours they have contributed.

At this time, the dirt oval track has been covered to protect the racing surface from the upcoming rainy season and will remain closed for both racing and open practice until further notice.

While we’re certainly disappointed to have to make this announcement, we remain hopeful that this is simply a pause and not the end of dirt oval racing at Hot Rod Hobbies.

We would love to see the program continue, but in order for that to happen, we need a few dedicated individuals willing to step up, take the reins, and help manage the track maintenance and race-day operations.

These are volunteer positions, with complimentary racing and hobby shop discounts offered as a small token of our appreciation.

The good news is that our outgoing dirt oval crew has graciously offered to help train and guide anyone interested in taking over these responsibilities. This would provide an opportunity for new volunteers to learn from the people who have helped make the program successful.

We fully understand that this is a significant commitment, and we certainly don’t take anyone’s time or efforts for granted.

If you or someone you know has the passion, time, and willingness to help keep dirt oval racing alive at Hot Rod Hobbies, please reach out to us directly.

To all of our dirt oval racers, families, and supporters, THANK YOU for being part of the program and for your continued support over the years.

We’ve enjoyed seeing the friendships, competition, and memories made at our dirt oval, and we sincerely hope there will be many more in the future.

Hopefully, this isn’t goodbye. It’s just until we meet again at the track. 🏁

Hey racers!!! Round #6 (Finals) of the JBRL 1/8 Scale Off-Road Series is this Saturday October 10, 2026 at the JBRL's home track Hot Rod Hobbies in Saugus, CA!!! Here is some info about this weekend's race! Hot Rod Hobbies will be available all week including Friday October 9th for practice from 10am until 8pm for a $20 fee to be paid to the track. Hot Rod Hobbies is a outdoor track that is located in the Santa Clarita Valley. The track will be run wet all weekend long so any medium pin wet track tries should work good. Pro-Line Hole Shots in M3, M4 or S3 compound are recommended. Hot Rod Hobbies has plenty of pit tables but feel free to bring your own if you would like to pit in your own open area. There is NO ROOM for trailers and motor homes so leave those home as there is simply no space for them in our very tight parking lot! If you come out Friday to practice you can save your pit spot, no saving spots earlier than Friday unless you have made previous arrangements with Hot Rod Hobbies. Call the track at (661) 255-2404 or check out their page for more info!!! It's shaping up to be a great weekend in Santa Clarita with temps in the 80's so we are in store for a gorgeous weather weekend! We hope you can all join us for a fun filled day of JBRL racing to finish up our 2026 1/8 scale series!!! See you all this weekend!!!

Special thanks to Pro-Line Racing, Team Associated, Boom R/C Graphics and all of our awesome 2026 sponsors for all of their support!!!

Thank you!
