Hey! I just wanted to thank everyone who participated in the event on Saturday as I heard it was a great time! The kids will be very ecstatic over the holiday's I am sure. The Marine's were impressed with how many Toys for Tot's we were able to bring in as well as some of the local radio stations. Some said they heard plugs for all the hard working people (racers and staff) at Steel City Hobbies.... it could not be done with out YOU and I (and everyone) appreciates your continued support for all the charity work, and for the racing in general!
Also, a HUGE thanks to all who brought in food to fatten up everyone! I heard it was all gone by 2PM and that it was A LOT of GOOD food! I am sorry that I was sick as a dog and could not make it at all. :(
We are looking forward for the New Year and plan on having exciting racing again!

We are open for racing this Friday night for $5 an entry for Road Course. We should start around six and keep it to 1 qualifier and 1 main. Saturday we can do the same with Oval starting at noon if anyone is interested. We close at 3 on Saturday.

Merry Christmas!

Hey! I was surprised on how many flyers we had last night! I was even more surprised about the "fans" of flyers... Nothing like hanging out, telling stories... and watching the whirlee-birds fly around. The track is converted to an airfield every Tuesday with obstacles and landing pads in various spots. I really need to get in the air.

Ok... so I got sucked in to flying... It is very challenging and more fun than driving a touring car I think! Al, thanks for the use of your CX!
Here is some video from tonight.

SCH is happy to announce that on April 4th from 6 - 8 pm there will be a seminar on e-Heli! We have a special guest star appearing who had a big hand in designing the E-flight CX - who is also a JR rep.

When: May 20
Where: McMurray PA (Pgh South Hills)
Time: 10 - 4PM
Cost: Zilch, Nadda, Zippo... $0.00

SCH is doing a R/C extravaganza with R/C Drag Racing - we encourage anyone with any R/C vehicle to come test n' tune your rod on FRESH asphalt that will not even be a week old! (I can't believe they are allowing us to do this) AND there will be off-road racing with hand-out R/C cars provided by TRAXXAS to try your hand on the dirt. (Off road more for kids of all ages) We plan on a few helicopter demonstrations as well....

The Bible Chapel Carnival & R/C event in McMurray has changed venues slightly due to all the rainy weather we have been having over the last 13 days... we are still going to host off-road racing for free tomorrow at this site... but we have moved the off-road to on-road -- to a freshly paved lot so now we can include touring cars!

This starts around 10am and runs thru 3pm all for NO COST!

It gets better... it is a great time for you, the kids and even your parents... Free entertainment and FREE FOOD for those who want some good eats!
Last years event was a blast and SCH is happy to continue to help promote R/C to the Pittsburgh area! The rain is supposed to stop in the morning so that opens up hours of free R/C fun

If you have an off-road vehicle... you can race on-road as well... OR play in the mud!

Here are a few updates that I am implementing immediately... we will see how it goes! We are sensitive to everyones needs with the high gas prices. SO we are going to try a few different things to throw into the mix...

-Flying fee - $5-7 bucks - TBD
-Tuesday afternoons till close - FlyNight - for electric "e-heli" and plane flying

Hope I did not forget anything - good luck!
