CFEX Race Products will be the official sponsor for the first race of the BRL/ BSR Brushless Oval Tour. The “Showdown in Motown” will take place on October 28th and 29th at the CEFX Raceway just outside of Detroit Michigan.

CFEX Racing Products and CEFX Raceway are owned by 29 time National Champion Josh Cyrul and his wife Angel. Josh has used his race winning experience and engineering ability to design some of the most innovative on-road cars and part on the market. This season Josh plans to expand the CFEX products line and branch out into the oval world with the release of an all new 1/10 scale racing kit and that famous Snowbird’s winning 1/12 scale design.

CFEX Raceway opened last season and has quickly become one of the favorite tracks of oval racers in the upper Midwest. Some of the toughest Brushless drivers in the country call the Wolverine state home and will be ready to defend there territory go wheel to wheel with the BRL tour regulars.

The track area is 40 x 90 with a run line in the 165 foot range and a Martinsville style paperclip shape . The experienced race management staff uses R/C Scoring Pro Software to keep the program running smooth. In addition to a large open pit area the on-site hobby shop takes care of any of your parts concerns. The track side café will keep hungry racers fed and happy and hotels and restaurants are also just a few short minutes away.

A large turnout is expected so come and be a part of a history making weekend as the BRL kick’s off it’s inaugural season. C-ya there.

Dusty Kemp has also come thru with another one of his awesome T-shirt designs. They will be on-sale this weekend for just $20. We also have a handful of sweatshirts available as well. Remember all proceeds form the shirt sales got to the BRL point fund.

Guarantee Graphix is are official concourse award sponsor this season and Joe Marks has a very cool prize for the winner. Keep your fingers crossed that UPS delivers tomorrow because I think the winner is really going to like it.

Our sponsors have also donated some great raffle items for this weekend. One lucky winner will be one of the first in the country to receive with the new CEFX Racing Products Oval Kit. Don’t forget all proceeds from the raffle will be donated at seasons end to the Victory Junction Gang Camp.

No practice on Friday but you can set up your pit area until 9pm. Doors open at 8am on Saturday morning and then it time to Rock.

Josh and company great job on the entire weekend. Sonny also had everything lined up so that the entire weekend went smooth. The first race came off very well. Thanks to all the oval racers that showed up for some fun. You to Sully!

Sonny - Thanks again for putting on such a great race. We are very fortunate to have a person who is willing to spend so much time promoting and running a series of this size. Josh & family - thanks for the great track. And to Keith Racknor, wow what a finish. Maybe Keith should retire (not) with that big smile still on his face.

Awesome start to the BRL..... Thx Sonny for taking Brushless racing to the next level!!!

Josh you have a great place.... :thumbsup:

Joe Retherford

Congrats Keith on the TQ and win, wish I could have been their! Sounds like the event was good. Maybe next year the BRL can schedule some of the events around the big existing on-road races so there can be a little better attendance!!

Are the full results available anywhere?

Also, why isn't there more info on the BRL website?

Just wanted to chime in and say I had a great time at the race in MI. Looking forward to Vinton in November! Great job to Sonny and all the crew, including Josh and his crew at CEFX...

This time I'll have batts and body ready though, so I can practice! :)

I'd like to thank Sonny Brown for getting this series up and running as well as choosing our track to start off the BRL season! I think the race went well and was a lot of fun. Enough so where I'm trying to look at the schedule and figure out how to make it to the other events!! Thanks to everyone for coming out!!

Sonny and Josh Great event had alot of fun hope to make alot

Thank's Eric Knapp

Sounds like it was a great event, sorry I wasn't able to make it...

First race was a great time!! Wish I wasnt out to breakfest, lunch, and dinner ALL weekend!!

Thanks Again Sonny & Josh & Crew for a great weekend!

:cool: Mark :cool:

I didn't race, but I will be soon. I had a good time watching all the oval guys racing like we used to. Compitition was close, and no dang Dynos to listen too. People were working on thier chassis setup and driving style.

Sonny, Josh, and Josh's family put on a terrific show. This kind of racing is going to bring new racers into the hobby, and the ones that got away from it will be looking to get back in.

Nice job everyone!!!
