It is with regret that I must inform the RC racing community that GLRC is
closing its doors. It is a decision that I struggled with for several weeks and
has become more clear with each passing day. Most of you know that GLRC
has had its share of internal issues and struggles over that passed several
years and it is unfortunate. Over the past year or so I gave it my best to
help sort through some of the problems that surrounded GLRC and mend some of the broken fences, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. It is my
hope that I had some possitive effect on our hobby.

Fred Fred,Sorry to hear this hope to see ya around.

Thanks, Ed.

Fred, I appreciate the Effort that you and everyone else put in to make another good year of racing. I agree, its unfourtunet, But you gave it your all. Thanx again!

Thank you Steven.

Fred - It has been my observation that you have a positive effect on everything you are involved in. I'm not one to get wrapped up in local "politics", all I want is to have fun racing & forget the stresses of the week...I hope we will all race together again.

Denney

Thanks Denny for such kind words.

I am really sorry to hear about that Fred............:cry:...........I hope to race with you soon...

Thanks Grasshopper, I mean Dustin.

Sorry to hear that Fred.

I know, Thanks Jimmy.

Fred - Sorry to hear that you're closing. I'd just like to say that I've raced with both "groups" of GR racers, and have had fun every time (even when my race ended with dangling suspension bits). Hopefully you and RLK can make it over to Lansing for a few races.

Thanks Kevin, I'm glad to hear you had some fun because thats what it's all about.

Hi Fred,

That is unfortunate that you will have to close doors. I haven't had a chance to make it out to your side of the state this year. Actually, I haven't even been able to go race at the tracks on the east side of the state, either. :(

Anyways, I would say that R/C participation at all tracks have been down the last few years. I think a lot has to do with the economy and what appears to be the steady decline of participants in R/C car racing in general. It takes a lot of regular racers to keep a track open as you know...

Hopefully things will pick up again soon and you guys can open your track again.

-Rich

Thanks Rich, It's good to hear from you.

Fred:

On the oval circuit he's known as (3LD), 3 laps down.

Sorry to hear you're closing. Does that mean you are closing as of yesterday, or are you finishing out this month/season?

Thanks

I hope that the lease isn't a problem either.
We'll be packing up soon, I'll let you know.
Fred.

All I have to say is this.....

We had some great years of organized racing, and many great racers that attended. We had our good times, and our bad times as well. I personally made many friends throughout those years as did others, and I hope those friendships remain bright in the future.

Bottom line is this.....
Thanks for the memories, it was fun!!

John Warner

In your case, I suggest going northeast (tomorrow) to race your Tankmiya. :thumbsup:

Tankmiya, thats a good one. :)

Northeast, as in Lansing??
I can't make it tomorrow, but I'll try to make it next Sunday!

Hey Fred....
How'd you do with the truck today?? Where you able to stay up with Mr. Rohn?

Rohn was a no show today, I just practiced.

I have all intentions of it. The question is where!
You????

How about anywhere there is an offroad track this summer, blow the dust bunnies off of that b3 and run some offroad this year.:thumbsup:

When it gets warm You, Fred and the guys came come this way and race here at Lazer once in awhile.....its been a long time since we've seen you!
Sorry to hear about the club:(

Sorry to hear about the club:( You know I will be there this summer as you always run your races on time and everyone is very helpfull.And then the lunch :thumbsup: .

Yeah, Maybe we'll all have to pick a date and a bunch of us go all at the same time!
(I'll be running electric, NOT nitro) Would be a ton of fun if we put together a road trip once or twice a month and hit different tracks all over. What do you think???

Tankmiya, thats a good one. :)
Hummmm...... I guess that's better than "Turdmiya"!! LoL!

I will take the road trip to Lazer.Its a little small for nitro but it was alot of fun running in the rain.:wave:

Yeah, I remember that. Tyrone was grooving my tires so they'd hook up..I also remember putting ballons on the reciever to keep it dry. Yeah, that was nothing but fun, fun fun!!! I also know Fred won that race.

this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get back from racing in columbus and find out that GLRC is closing!! I'm not to happy!! GLRC was a great place to take my kids to race and have fun, and to teach them that there is more to racing than making the A main, racing is about fun and should always be about fun. I will truly miss racing with the GLRC crowd!!

I have all intentions of it. The question is where!
You????

Same here. I want to race but don't know where to race. Let me know before you head to a track...

Eric......... Will do!

Where is Lazers?

Where is Lazers?Lazer is down just south of AnnArbor in Adrian.Its like a 2:30hr drive.Its always a good time Jim
