This is a simple poll to see what kind of turnout we will have on our pre-determined classes. Please note we have already received pre-entries from people who do not use hobbytalk, let alone a computer.

1/10 stock for me and maybe I'll even bust my Bombers out.

Can't wait for this one.

The "test-run" Enduro race last night went off without a hitch... although it was only a few racers and 2 or 3 heats of 100 laps... it was a lot of fun! If we do this Saturday after qualifiers, make sure you have charged up packs!

Right now our race software developer says we can run up to 15 cars at once... we are working on upping that to 20 or even 30. The system is not tested up that high yet, but we will keep you posted.

Keep the votes coming in.

Thanks!

Oval Track Construction will begin on Tuesday.
Track closed for construction all week - Opening Friday evening for 4-Cell Stock NASCAR Practice on new design. - Timed Racing and Enduro Racing.

Week of May 16th - Open Oval practice at driver’s discretion - all week.

Knights Inn seems to be the place to be if you are spending night for the Regionals. Make your reservations today to reserve a room! Mention the SCH race to get heavy discount. Comfort Inn - discount there too, but not as great.

:thumbsup:

My Pre-entry's in, is YOUR's ??

oh yeah

Jeff
you gotta have a car first before you do anything, haha

LOL, good point, I'm gonna have the rip and the sticks, but nothing to put em in, huh, maybe they'll let me run around the track with the motors and batts strapped to my back?

Sorry to repeat myself (as I posted this on the SCH Oval thread as well)...
I just wanted to thank Al Stephens and Frank Dempster on a job well done on constructing the new Oval today at Steel City Hobbies. They worked all day on preparation for the Regionals coming up in one week. The new runline is 160' (correct me if I am wrong Al) and we are testing out our new barrier system, which actually has a little give to help with sidewall protection. I will post pictures tomorrow evening.
Thanks again!
Mike
:thumbsup:

pics pics i need pics, LOL

The track is awesome from what I hear. A few guys
took a practice run tonight and were very happy with it. Thanks to Al and Frank for making it happen so quickly.
Oval racing tomorrow - last race for the Mini-Cooper series... over $5,500 worth of prizes for that series alone.
Thanks to everyone who helped out with that including Mini of Pgh, Pgh. Steelers, Safe N' Secure and the local food stops such as Pgh Ice Cream & Deli and Pizza Hut.
Mike!

As Eric says... here are the results!
I just wanted to thank everyone who participated by racing, supporting, or just showing up to hang out! I think everyone had a good time and I thank those who helped out in every aspect.
It was a long weekend for SCH as we had 2 R/C events going on at the same time. One was a charity event at a local church where we built a full blown off-road track and the other, the Regionals. All the SCH staff and friends did an excellent job making for a smooth weekend of R/C action. We look forward to future events in the near future... maybe in August?

Mike!
