Thanks
Randy
Tom Allard 05-30-2007, 11:50 PM Hi Randy
being the first race. I am hoping to have at least 1/10 stadium trucks. Hopefully we can get the 1/8's. I forsee a monster truck class. I think you would be assured of the stadium truck class.
Just will have to hope for the best. As of now our offroad is pretty flat. I am thinking the offroad is proly what we will run.

Duke Bradshaw 06-11-2007, 11:38 AM Tom,
It looks as if I will not beable to get up your way to race. Between working on and keeping up on honey dew's, working on the track, holding races and my work place it is not looking good for me this summer to be able to come up and race.
You guys up north are always welcomed to come down here to race too! It is not the same with out you guys!
We are racing the 16th and the 30th for this month. Trophy race for this Saturday if we get a good turn out,if not it will be the 30th for the trophy's
Randy Erb 06-12-2007, 10:25 PM Hi Tom
Thank-you for a great time Sunday. Your track is a BLAST!!!!!!!!! I will be back only if you get your GT out there with us. Again thank-you for a good time.

ROLLING RC 06-13-2007, 09:56 PM I had a great time at your track also tom thanks Mike.
Tom Allard 06-15-2007, 11:37 PM Racing on Sunday the 24th of June. Got the track in good shape and am ready for another fun filled Sunday. Anyone who needs further info, contact me at tjahome@chartermi.net. Check www.tomallard.com/racing for info and pics... see ya all there. Bye
Tom Allard 06-26-2007, 10:17 PM Our next Race will be on Sunday July 22nd.
Our track is fairly large and wide. There is plenty of room for passing. The surface is clay. We have a section we call our offroad. It is a smooth and a fast course. Then we have our oval. It is also wide and fast and smooth and clay.
Since our next race is Sunday July 22nd. I would like some input as to wether you would want to race on the oval or the offroad section????
We also could do both. One after the other. Just let me know.
Tom
Tom Allard 07-31-2007, 10:27 PM Tracks in great shape for the next event. Sunday August 5th 2007. Hope to see ya.

Hello TimXLB
The tires that work good are any pins , and lug nuts, and x pattern , bow ties,and similar style tires work good.... The track surface is clay.
Tom

Tom Allard 08-12-2007, 11:17 PM Ludington RC Racers Track Update:
We have added some clay and reshaped some of the corners. Added a few jumps. Smoothed out the surface.
I think everyone will notice the improvement. Come on out the 19th of August (Sunday) and check it out.
I will try to post some pictures before the weekend.

Duke Bradshaw 08-15-2007, 01:40 PM OHHHHHHHHHH! Thats right! You need to get him one for him and then you both can run! Or Maybe he needs a sponser of some kind. Maybe I will sponser him!
I have several Nitro Stadium Trucks, I will have to think about this! We will talk.
Duke
fatboylosi 08-15-2007, 05:43 PM he has one and I have one, I just gotta get a motor for mine. hmmmmm a sponsor would be awsome!! :thumbsup:
Tom Allard 08-16-2007, 03:17 PM Hey Everyone.
Big Race This weekend. Not many races left :( Summer is about used up.
We put quite a bit of clay down, added some jumps, And smoothed out the dips and corners.
We need some 1/8 scalers to come down and see if they can rip up our track a little. It would be nice to have a class of 1/8 scalers to see what can be done out there.
I was hoping to get some pics of the progress on here, by now... But that didnt happen... Maybe i will be able to get some on here before Sunday.
If you need info on this track or event you can check out the site.

Tom Allard 08-21-2007, 10:16 PM Hey psycho2
Yes. we get some electrics. But there are more nitro vehicles... and sometimes the electrics have ran with the nitros with pretty good luck... As far as I can tell there may be 3 or 4 there this weekend...
