Here's the new thread that Hank asked for...

From the old thread, the track opens at 9:00 on Sunday and Mod 12th depends on how many people we get to run it. I think that either day at the end of the month would be good.

Fred, is the track open every Sunday for racing ? They have heat, right ?
Cause it's gonna be a cold one this Sunday !

Hey Barry, we're in a new location. The address is 1665 Haslett Rd, Haslett, MI 48840.

The building is much nicer and very well lit. The heat really is not an issue. We've been running the temperature at about 68 degrees. I believe there are some pictures on the the old thread. Maybe Steven will post some new pictures that were taken on Sunday.

Barry, track size is 84' x 42' on older ozite carpet.

Track opens at 9am, with racing at 1pm.

The heat doesn't normally even turn on when there's a bunch of people there. The building is much nicer than last year. Warmer, brighter, better stand...

Thanks guys. If things go according to plan I might see you Sunday.

So it sounds like the begining and end of the month dates are dates that 12th mod is normally run and that you are open every Saturday for practice at 9am just like your Sunday's, is this correct?

I am looking forward to both the updated pictures and coming up at the end of this month to run with Tim & Jason, Walt, Terry and anyone else that would run 12th mod. - D.A.

people need to seriously come out and check this place out its awesome. track is great people are cool and racing is competitive. and they get things done rather than sittin around all day. i went there sunday and raced and had the most fun ive had in a long time.

There will most likly be a 1/12th mod class most sundays. Saturdays are now race days with oval and stadium soon to start.

Ted, I am flying this year!

Just wanted to know because Bobby might stay for the gas race the following week, I am thinking he will have to drive to get all the crap down there. Plus, he isn't old enough to get a rental car.

Thanks,
Ted

Enterprise and Thrifty (Thrifty carries Dodge cars. ;) ) would let me rent from them when I was under 21. I dunno if their rules have changed, however since that was over 10 years ago.

Walter,

The Winter champs or whatever it is called is the same week as the Birds but the week after Full Throttle in Kisseemmee (Worlds host track) is having a gas race as I believe they are having either 8th scale or 200mm NATs this year too.

Brian

Not to nit-pick... but it's spelled "Kissimmee" which is an old Indian name.
(I grew up in St. Cloud which is just south of there)

Yep, what Brian said.

If it wasn't for that race at that big track an hour to the east I would go to the gas too.

So picky....lol

You also missed some great oval racing. They ran 10 cars in the stock A and were accident free for the first 2 mins. And Zubie actually ran his main. We think it was the first B he's ran in at least 10 years.

hey Rich:

ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONE.

Haha - one of the guys that works with me had to go to California and he rented a Magnum. It didn't come with a Hemi, tho. ;) He said it was still surprisingly fun to drive.

-Rich

Too bad they suck arse in the snow!!!!!!!!!

Any car will suck in the snow if you drive it full throttle like you are racing stock r/c cars. :p

I bet Hamilton wouldn;t have a problem with the half scale!!!

Let me rephrase.. any car with Aaron behind the wheel while driving in snow. "Hey!! Watch out for that fence!!!" ;)

Aaron,

Stock, Mod , Its all the same to him

That's pretty funny Rich. How about baking the tires in front of your condo? :D

Do it in front of his neighbor's condo...

But then Rich wouldn't be able to see that it was meant for him.

Hey all you Lansing dudes good news!
New carpet track coming spring 2005

Hobby-sports.com (formerly RnL Hobbies) in Portage Michigan is going to carpet this spring... We are moving the clay to the outdoor track and going to new crc fasttrack ozite.

(possible race day line-up)
oval prac........Tue
Oval race........Wed nights
oval prac........Thurs
Staduim prac...Fri
Stadium race...Sat afternoons
Touring..........Sun afternoons
touring prac....Mon

As the clay track gets tore down and the carpet put in Jon and I will be taking pictures and will be posting all the progress here on hobby talk.
All of us at Hobby-sports.com feel that this will be an awesome change and bring in on-road guys to a former off-road facility.
The carpet track will set a new standard for on road racing.
Watch for more on this later...

I just have to say Nick and his fellow "goons" :) run a great Friday night show in Haslett. Pit space can become cramped but its still better than letting your RC truck sit at home. Everything ran smoothly and everyone did their part to keep everything on time. Great job guys.
