A joint effort will be opening a new carpet track at the Woodville Mall in Toledo Ohio. The "joint" effort is Revolution Racing, Outlaw Hobbies, and a private interest (who I'm not sure wants named). The estimated opening date is the beginning of October. The track will race 1/18th, 1/12th, and 1/10th on-road, and maybe some off-road if there is enough interest. The exact schedule has not yet been determined. The scoring system is AMBrc with JLap Pro. As more details become available, I will post them here, or feel free to email or PM me. Below is the flyer, as it is now....

The exact schedule has not been determined. I'll keep this thread updated with the latest info.

Thanks for your interest.

It almost sounds like it's gonna be just like a high school reunion, I can't wait to see all of the boys from FT. Wayne there again.

Great to hear!!

Another indoor track in OH that is close.

Get pics and more information up when you can.

Will it be in the former Halo location or different location this time?

Same location as Halo. We'll get some pics up and some more info on schedule, etc. as it becomes available.

Thanks.

I'm in. Let us know when you are ready.

Forgot to ask what day the group will be running on the weekend?

Only ask since The Gate in Cleveland will be running Sat's but not every weekend. Not sure on other area tracks but take their schedule into consideration like I think they will.

Glad to see your still around Jerry - thought you would be in PA by now.

I'm in. Let us know when you are ready.

Jerry

What's up Jerry? Can't wait to see you back at the track!!!!!

What's up Jerry? Can't wait to see you back at the track!!!!!

Not to much. I am looking forward to getting back on a carpet track.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

Sounds good.

From the flyer they must have gotten double the space then - because I do not see everything listed being put into halo's old area that was always used.
If I remember Josh had the area to the other side of the track also but did not use it all the time.

Look forward to coming up and running some for a points series.

Hopefully there will be some TV's up playing the football games!!! :p

Post some times and such when you guys get them.

:D

When do you plan on starting the points... I am looking for a 12th. Anyone have one for sale? Looking for a CEFX or a CRC.

Jerry

I also see that you are having some off-road racing...? Where is there a off-road track?

Jerry - I believe they mean off-road on the road course - set little jumps up and stuff.

If they had an indoor off-road track that would be the shit....

Jerry this is the 1/12 scale car you should get :woohoo: www.bmiracing.com (http://www.bmiracing.com)

Jerry,

Just found this http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=180886

I also see that you are having some off-road racing...? Where is there a off-road track?

Clark has it right. The off-road will be "stadium" stuff. Jumps on the on-road track. We are currently running off-road, outdoors, if you're intersted in that (but there's only one more race, on 10/7).

As it stands right now, the track should be open for practice starting on 10/1. The first race will probably be 10/14.

When we get a definite schedule set (should be in the next week) I'll be sure to post it up here for you guys. Thanks for the interest.

Sounds great, I am really interested in heading up there and running this winter. I always enjoyed racing there when Josh had Halo and when Kropy ran there before that. It is just a cool feeling racing in a mall like that. I am very happy that someone took it over.

Jerry

I checked out the page, but there ain't much info there. I will keep a eye for them though.

[QUOTE=sb7979] We are currently running off-road, outdoors, if you're intersted in that (but there's only one more race, on 10/7).

Where is there a off-road track up that way?

The off-road track is at White Park, on Douglas Road, just north of Toledo. It's on the track finder on this website (Revolution Racing - White Park). It's small, but it has a nice layout, and we plan on making it bigger next year. It's mostly nitro, but when electric guys show up, they usually don't mind running with the 1/10 gas trucks.

Check out the website.....you have to register to view the forums, but you should be able to access the Media page to see the pics from this season.

If you guys need any help post because I am sure some of us could help with things.

Also can you use and extra monitor to display results in the pit area? The Gate has that type of set-up and I have an extra one that I can donate to the cause if your going to use it.

Any ideas on the points series and if it will be points every race or through the season?

Getting a little excited on running again like the old days.

:hat:

Will there be a novice class up there? I ask since I would like to get another buddy into carpet racing and a novice class would be the right starting place.

I'll have to check to see if our scoring system will support a second monitor, or are you talking about just hooking a second one to the computer?

I think the points series will be every race, but there will be some drops. The number of drops will depend on the number of races that end up on the schedule.

I'm not sure if there will be enough Novice people (or people who will admit to being novice) to run a class. We can always offer it, and if people show up, run it. Kropy will probably be there almost every week, so there's at least one! ;)

I found a 12th, so I am ready to go. Looking forward to coming back to Toledo.

By chance are you going to be apart of the CRL?

Jerry

Too funny

Just hooking up a second monitor for the guys in the pits.

Any new updates?

Planning on heading up there on Oct. 7th for some practice, but I am REALLY looking forward to racing on the 14th!

See you then,
Jerry

Construction is still going strong, Painting is progressing & the electrical is in progress & The carpet will be put down this week ( by a union carpet layer!!! )

Thanks for the update Kropy. I wasn't able to make it out there this weekend.

Where is the Outlaw Hobbies located?

Address, site or phone would be good. Need some parts and will throw business their way.

Is Oct 1st still a go? I might come up and take a look and follow up Saturday with some practice.

:woohoo:

Do we want to know who the carpet layer is?:dude:

Painting is progressing...

hmmm..... Tooo easy :wave:

hmmm..... Tooo easy :wave:

Speak up......LOL

Where is the Outlaw Hobbies located?

Right now they are sort of transitioning from their old space to the track. This is their first season of supporting a carpet track, so most of the inventory is nitro off-road stuff (not alot of on-road in stock). They would however love to have some input from people as to what would be good to stock (for whatever it is you will be running). The owner's name is Tony and his cell phone is 419-779-1215. Feel free to give him a call.

The opening day looks like it will be October 6th or 7th. The club that owns the scoring system has an outdoor offroad race that weekend, so the indoor will be practice only, with no scoring system. The first race should be the weekend of the 13th/14th. The regular practice/race schedule will be announced in the next few days.

Thanks,

Scott

Thanks for the update Scott.

Plan on being up this Sunday for a little practice and dialing the car in. Then some good old fashin racin the following weekend.

Anyone have any current pics of the new facility?

As HookupsXXX4 asked - is the track going to be part of the CRL series that goes on in the area?

I'm not sure what the CRL series is.....sorry. If someone wants to forward me the organizer's info, I'll have our organizer contact them.

Thanks.

Here is the link to the CRL website.

I wasn't racing 12th scale last year, so I don't know if they held a CRL last year. I had alot of funning running the CRL the year before.

Jerry

Wondering if things are a go for this weekend? Planning on coming up Sunday for some test and tune.

If things are a go, what time do doors open?

Also, if needed I can give a hand on anything that might need to be done to get the place ready.

Thanks,
Jerry

WOW - Jerry - looks like maybe the last series was the one we ran back a few - would be a good series to get the track involved in if it exists and is run by someone else.

Most likely I would figure they would open at 10am or whenever the mall opens.

Should be a good test and tune weekend if the doors are open!

:hat:

Will there be practice this weekend? Kinda planning around that event if not I know I have stuff to do.

Update when someone can?

For people wanting to know about this weekend, I talked to Tony and doors will be open around 11:00.

Jerry

The track will be open for practice this Sunday, 10/7. The doors will open at 11am.

After that, it looks like the schedule will be practice Wednesday & Friday (5pm - 9pm), off road racing Saturday (time TBD), and on road racing Sunday (doors will probably open at 9am). We will start this schedule on Wednesday 10/10. If we see that we need to make adjustments to this schedule, that is an option.

There are pit spaces for about 45 people, but we have space for more when that becomes necessary. Please bring your own chair.

See you there.

Sounds awesome, see you guys on Sunday.

Jerry

That looks sweet!

Keep the good job up guys. I will have to remember to bring a chair!

:woohoo:

Good practice season and good group of guys.

Track is definately coming along and will be a nice facility and addition to the local racing seen.

Carpet built grip up fast and handled everything that people threw at it.
