can anyone tell me if storm steel has a website where i can see some pictures of their track????

The website is: IROARONLINE.ORG., There are pictures there as well as this years schedule. The track has been sealed and we have been running caps and having a great time.

Who is that good looking gent with the 6 foot trophy? (4th picture under King of the Hill photos). I may have to try to get out to Storm Steel this summer too. I need another whooping by Phil B. Any big races this summer?

Good news Bob, you won't be sorry, great place to race and the added attraction at Hawkeye downs is a plus.

I will leave the front door open for whatever you want to put in it. A new fancy pit box would be cool..................he he he

Dude,will call you today.

Undies... well just hafta go b@lls out for the feature :devil:

Pit box a maybe........

Oh Phil, that was uncalled for. Man I'm eatin lunch right now.

Maybe a thong next time?

Hey Mike, Phil don't mind you eatin he eats lunch in his undies too.

Been racing much Oval crowd picking up our way.

Shane

We closed up our place Wednesday night. I'm taking this weekend off and maybe the next. How long are you guys running the carpet?
Shane, reply on the Fastlane thread.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents.

Went to the king of the hill race last year. It was my first race on caps, The help I got from AJ, Charlie & Phil was great. They make you feel right at home & anwser any questions that you my have. There is nothing that compares to racing caps on a high bank oval!!!

Congrats again Phil at vinton 3 classes 3 a mains. Maybe I should start racing in my short shorts:p

Just to let everyone know, the 1st race of the season at Storm Steel in Cedar Rapids, Iowa is Sunday May 15, gates open at 8:00 AM and racing will begin between 11:00 and noon.


Hope to see lots of racers there to get the outdoor season off to a great start.

Thanks to all that braved the cool temps and wind.

18 4300 brushless cars.

TQ was 58 5:01.8 ...19t 0 Degree record is 59 5:02.9

With a little warmer conditions brushless will be just as fast if not faster.

This is alway one of the most competitive and most run races of the year.
Hoping for a great turn-out.

Hey Aj, We Are Coming Up From St Louis This Weekend, Can You Tell Me What Kinda Rollout They Are Running In The Brushless Class Or At Least What Spur Gear??


Rick

I have been running a 108 spur with a 46 pinion, I think it's about a 2.34 ratio, I run a left stagger on the left and a right stagger on the right, some guys are running a lower ratio, but they are shutting down in the heat.

Looking forward to having you guys run with us this weekend.

Hey Rick, a King of RC has offered to take to the local hobby shop and do lunch if we get up there around noon. He's the brushless KING on carpet, but hasn't beat AJ yet this year.
See you at my house around 7am.

Easy now, I did outrun AJ @ Marshalltown. Will be glad to show the Mayor of St Charles the town, being as YOU are buying lunch!

Phil is correct, I wasn't able to beat the brushless king at Marshalltown in our 1st meeting of the year on the ribbon of concrete with winds out of the west at 30 mph, it was a feat just to keep the car on the track that day, at least for some of us.

Who's buying lunch? and Where?

See you guys Saturday.

Not sure about who's buying. Where? I'll leave that up you locals.

Godfather's Pizza, right next to stellar Box-Kar Hobbies

Mike, I Think Since We Will Be The Guest's That They Should Provide Us With A Nice Lunch???? Thanks For The Info Aj!!!! See You At 7 Am Mike

Too bad the Solon Sheraton is full, hospitality and guest service is Top Notch!

Sorry, no vacancies this weekend, family from out of town. I will try and do a better job of scheduling races and family.

See you all Saturday.

Great race last night, good, clean fast racing. Thanks to everyone who attended, especially Mike K, Rick K., Murphy, John, Phil B. and the guys from Dubuque that don't get to race with us that often.

Phil B. showed all of us how it is done by lapping the entire field, great race for 2nd Danny B., Mike C. and myself all three positions switched probably twice in one lap with Danny B. ending up with the 2nd spot, I got third and Mike C. got unlucky with three wide racing and ended up 4th.

Hey we had a good time again racing with you guys. Fun track.

Hey Phil, you know when the lights at the track went out, it really wasn't that dark compared to the Pizza place.:D Are we even now or do I owe you now?:D

i just wanted to take a minute and say thanks to all the guy's at storm steel raceway,i had an absolute blast!!! you are by far the nicest group of people i have ever raced with!!!! special thanks to a.j., charlie, and danny b. for putting on a good program with about the cleanest racing i have seen in a long time!!!!
you guy are first class!!!! see you again this summer for sure!!

rick kanschat


Hey phil, in case you did not know?? mike is night blind!!!!!:D

Just wanted to thank everyone that came for the races last night, especially the guys that traveled in from afar.

Thanks for the compliments Rick, your car look pretty good in the main. There should be some great racing at the "King of the Hill" if we can catch that Phil guy.

Danny,
What time do you guys start racing at, trying to plan a day to come out. I think theres 4 or so that are planning on the labor day weekend race. Are you guys running the 4300, or the 5800, 19 turn???

Anyone planning on coming to the Jim Wick race on the 22nd?

Hays Jr

Hays, I know I'm not Danny, but I'll try to answer your questions; on our normal race days, people show up about 8:00 AM and we try to start around noon. On the night races the track opens about 3:00 PM and try to start about 7:00 and run on the hour. I'm not sure what the schedule for the King of the Hill is yet, hopefully Danny will post the schedule.

In the past the track has been open Friday for practice and the 3 round of qualifying on Saturday and a last chance and single mains on Sunday.

Hope you guys can make it down sometime, it's really a track that lends itself to really good racing, very wide and pretty smooth as well.

Hays, Everything that AJ said there is true. The weekly schedule is on the website. www.iroaronline.org

I'm for sure going to the Jim Wick race on the 22nd. I'll bring some flyers about the King of the Hill race with me. Right now it looks like the trophied classes will be 4300 Brushless, 19t 0 Degree and Open Mod(brushed or BL)

I just wanted to let everyone know that our race at Storm Steel for July 24 has been cancelled so that all of our racers that wanted to could go to the Jim Wick Memorial race at Triclone. I won't make it but several of our guys wanted to go.


Our next race is July 31, hope to see everyone then.

Too bad you can't make it up, AJ.But I'll see you on the 31st.I'm making the trek to CR.What time will the track open on the 31st?What time are you usually done on Sunday?

Thanks.

Bob, gates are open at 8am, races at 12pm. we try to run on the hour 3 quals and a main, so we're done between 4-430 most of the time. I'll talk to you this weekend.

Track usually opens at 8:00 and we're normally done by 4 or 4:30, we try and start racing at about noon.

Looking forward to it Bob.

Sorry I didn't see Danny's post.

Thanks to the guys at Storm Steel I had a great time today even with the light turnout.I learned a bunch and am making a list of stuff I need for next time.

1. Chair
2. Shelter
3. Forward bite....

Hope to be back in two weeks.

Thanks for coming down Bob, it won't be long and you'll have it figured out and kick our butts, there is no doubt that you had the fastest car in the A main, just a little bad luck.

Hope you do make it back again.
