Hey guys, track build is complete! Came out good I think. We ran a bazillion laps on it today and it has good flow. Nice long straight 80'. I feel it will race really well. Kinda feels like the old on road track which was the goal.. mission accomplished! I will be posting details about the rules this week because I saw there were some questions. If you've run with us in the past will be the same deal as before. We will be setting up the track for racing next Saturday 1pm start. Hope to see some of you real soon! 🏁 - Will

Hey everyone, here is our tentative race schedule for the summer! All dates are weather permitting and may change. Most club races will be Saturday's starting at 1PM. We will be running all club races in a points series with 3 drops. The track will be constructed this weekend, we will post photos after. We have retained most of the track pieces from the old track, so you can expect a similar look and feel for the new track.

We will post rules for the classes shortly. They will be the same rules we have run in the past at the old track with some updates.

**** NOTICE ****

We WILL be hosting a 2.4 Hour Endurance Race On AUG 16th. I'm letting everyone know early so you all have time to get your teams together. This is a SUPER Fun and challenging race. Its fun but the competition is also FIERCE (no joke, super close racing, anyone who has run before can tell you).... If you have never participated before, you are in for a treat if you put a team together.

We are very much looking forward to racing with everyone this summer on the parking lot! Hope to see everyone soon!!

Hey everyone, just wanted to provide an update on racing this summer. I am very happy to say, now that the parking lot is finally paved, we will be running an on-road program this summer starting in June. Over the next month we will be building a drivers stand on the right side. We will be building the same kind of on-road track as we had at the old shop. Just like before we will be building the track on Friday nights and racing on Saturday afternoons and trophy races on Sundays once a month. We will be racing into the fall this year probably wrapping up around October. For classes, we will be looking at 25.5 sedan, silver can (shaft cars), m-chassis and losi Nascar to start. For pitting, we have lots of room outside under the awning for tables and chairs and will provide electricity first come first serve. We will reserve an area track side for tents. For parking we should have a very similar situation as the old track. First come first serve, with additional parking in the plaza next door. The food situation is much improved with several really good choices next door in the plaza and nearby.

After a year off, we are very excited to be getting back to some serious racing. I know the old track can not be replaced. But we will be making every effort to make summer on-road as good as it ever was. Here's to a great summer of racing like old times 🍻 We hope to see some of you guys really soon!! 🏁
