Congrats to Mike and Kim on your new business venture. I am glad to hear that you will be saving the historic high banks. With so many changes in our hobby during the last couple of years, it is comforting to know that you can always count on Stafford Springs' Turn 4 RC to be there.

It would be nice to see the WinterBlast come back to its glory days and maybe see a National Event soon (last Nationals were 10 years ago).

Mike and Kim, you can always count on your Canadian friends north of the border to support you.

Wishing you the very best,
Antonio De Nino

Lets get some RSE inventory on the walls, talk to you tomorrow night.

Mike & Kim

Loved how the place was looking the other day. Mike as Chad told you if you need anything please call us anytime, SERIOUSLY! And we want to take you two to eat - so keep that in mind.

TO all the racers, we have are so excited for Mike & Kim...they have so many great ideas already in place and the real team drive to get the place going like it deserves! No doubt they will make that place a TOP track in the northeast!!!!

Best wishes guys!!! (mike & kim).....

We will be by to visit asap!! We miss all the racers tons & cant wait to see everyone TRACKSIDE!

I would hope so but you can imagine its hard for him. He gets hot & cold about it...right now he's been talking about Motorcycles & tattoos! LOL... so I dont know ...one day he is selling all his racing stuff - the next he isnt.... I couldnt tell you - he's like a freaking CHICK! LOL

Charlie, give us a call, our home number is below, as I told Patty he would love to hear from you - and get together!

With how "down" he's been recently Im sure he could use a call from you!!!

(and all of you feel free to take down our number & keep in contact - we would love it)...

Keep in mind we will be living in Tenn before next summer....so .... this number is only good for less than a year! (or at least I will, ...lol...Im not waiting on him! LOL)

Well I just got back from Turn-4, and 3 and 2 and 1, and ran a few packs thru the car. I'm happy to report that track surface is exactly as it was last race there, fast, with plenty of traction and spotless! All the chemicals, tires, springs, and motors are in stock along with smiling faces and a real positive vibe in the place. Dust off those banked cars and lets get racing again, it felt real good to tun on a banked track again.

08-09-2007, 11:31 PM
Thats great news. I look forward to racing there again this winter hopefully some 13.5 if its a class that is offered. Best of luck to the new owners and to the previous owners thankyou and best wishes.

I hear alot of talk about brushless, I'll be making the jump this fall, should make the racing more enjoyable. 13.5 or 10.5 whichever everyone wants to run, I'm hoping both.

Thanks everyone for stopping in and saying hello last night! Great cake AND Ice Cream! Thanks Rick and Bob! :thumbsup:
We have done a lot but there is still a lot more to do! Bare with us as we get the ball, or should I say the wheels, rolling! We DID get the phone hooked up last night. :) Our new number is...

860-684-4500.

We will hopefully have the DSL up and running this weekend as well. Remember folks, that is a track number and not a cell number. There is an answering machine so you can always leave a message if we don't answer!

Looking forward to a great season coming up!! Hope we can please everyone as much as we pleased Bob by opening the doors again! He really was as happy as a munchkin in the Wizard of Oz!! LOL!

Turn4RC
08-10-2007, 09:55 AM
OH YES, there will be a brushless class! You can count on that!! Exact class, rules, etc are yet to be determined but there is a huge demand for brushless right now and we will certainly offer the classes that the racers want most!!

If anyone needs anything, please let us know and we can get to placing our first orders!! If you have a large order, we will require a deposit before we can place the order.

Brock to be honest i have no fun working on the cars 100 hours a week like you do. :) id just as soon race a few times a year and be mediocre at it. but if a local that races there usually just happend to have a well setup spare car that i could run once to see how fun it is then maybe id make the trip up there more. either way i cant wait to make it back to kn! i hope to do well there though lol
