There is a new track in toledo to run electric touring car's. The track is a paved and very smooth. They race saturday's. The track they are running belongs to the one eight scale racers. They shorting the track for the electric cars.

1/12th scale as well? That would be great!
Tom

More details please. The schedule for the summer as well as what a normal race day looks like would be cool (practice starts, registration closes at, racing begins at) and cost to race.

Thanks,
Ray

will you guys have any racing on sundays on off weeks if you do i would like to come out


WERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you guys might get to race tomorrow, Have fun I'll be at work :mad: .

Dale, if you weren't at work, you would be painting, who are you trying to kid? :tongue: If it makes you feel any better I can't play Sunday because I'm off to Olimpia, WA for a week. :wave:

Squish, that makes sense. You are in WA and I am in MT, around Bozeman. Doesn't anyone stay at home any more.

If you have time and it is OK with your boss, we will be screaming monkeys at the Woodville track on Sunday 5/28. The Electric dudes will be running on Sat. 5/27.

6/3&4 is the Toledo Midwest Series race. That should be a pretty good turn out.

Hello :wave: , just checking (making sure) to see if you guys are racing this Saturday (June 10th). A group of about 4 of us are coming over from the Pittsburgh area to race Electric Sedan to get some practice for the eXpress Paved On-Road Championships in Jackson, NJ. What have the turnouts been like?? If you feel like racing some Electric this Saturday.....bring em' out!!

You guys have any more information or a schedule you can post. Went to the swamp forum and did not see any information on racing schedule.

Anything would help.

Thanks guys,

We had a great time up there this past Saturday meeting and running with you folks. Words can't even describe how unbeleivable that track is. As smooth as carpet, fast and flowing layout, and tons of traction. Anyone headed there, we ran RP30's using SXT 2.0 tire conditioner and had more than enough bite. We'll be back up to see you guys soon. In the mean time, keep the shiny side up. :thumbsup:

Dan, Danny, Eric & DanDan- Good job at Toledo this weekend! I told you it was an awesome track.
Thanks to the Blackswamp Club for offering us nitro-challenged guys from Beaver an opportunity to run electric on this great track. I hope to make it out the next visit :thumbsup: John :wave:

Some pics of the track for all to see and come out in perso nto see!

mike

mod is SLOWLY picking up. its well suited for this large beautiful facility.

Zak - if my velocity shows I will join in the fun and lay the smack down and not into the wall this time. LOL - had a kick a$$ motor also.

Just need to know how to gear the beast since all I am used to is stock and 12x2 motors.

Looks like awesome weather for this weekend compared to the blistering heat of last week.

see ya,

mike

you should shoot for a .09 in rollout. casey will be able to help you more on the velocity, but your setup will change due to increased speed.

Any news on a schedule or opening day? Gas or Electric?

Hey everybody, I was informed yesterday that one of our fellow hobby enthusiasts has become ill and could use a little help from the hobby world. His name is Bill Bridges from Dirt Burners, I have never personally met him but whenever I hear of Dirt Burners, I hear his name brought up and he seems to be cared for by many people. This is going out to all racers, we will host a charity race on Saturday May 28th at 2pm, doors will open at 11am. The entry fee will be $20 (3 heats and a main), oval and on-road racing will both take place. There will be no trophy or points or anything on the line. We just want everyone to come out and have a good time and support a friend. $10 of each entry fee will go to Bill and his family. We will also have a 50/50 drawing which we will donate as well. There will be a donation box set up that day also. We will be serving lunch all day long and invite people to bring snacks and deserts. If you have any questions about the event please feel free to give us a call at the shop, 586-552-4425. If you are not a racer or won't be able to attend and would like to help out please let us know and we will make arrangements for you. We hope everyone can make it out to support Bill and his family.

On a side note, we will not race that Sunday (May 29th), which was scheduled to be the last day of our spring points series....We will be moving that race day to Sunday June 5th.

Thank You for your time and support,
Marc Irby
MSI Racing and Hobbies

That is great..... I am working on taking a group from the west side of Michigan over to the race. Anyone in Toledo or surrounding areas that enjoy RC should try to do all they can to help out one of the guys that helped to pave the way for our sport.
