Great weekend of racing to kick off the 2008 BRL BSR Brushless Oval Tour. It amazing what John, Roger and the Tri-State Hobbies Crew were able to do in such a short amount of time. Racers in the Midwest truly have another great facility to race out.

Just want to thank the racers for the awesome turn-out 102 entries from 15 different states to kick off the season. :woohoo:

I was really excited to see 19 drivers in the new Hobby Talk 17.5 Sportsman Stock Division, the racing was close and speed were about perfect at .4 per lap slower than the 13.5 classes.

The Protoform 13.5 Masters Truck Division was a blast to watch and the buzz around the pit area. These things look cool on track and the racing was some of the most fun to watch all weekend. Sounds like we will see a lot more truckers in Detroit.

You should run under that name more often, you seem to do better.

Sorry all fixed. :roll:

Will the race sheets (from scoring pro, like in PDF) be put up anywhere?

Sonny: Just want to thank the racers for the awesome turn-out 102 entries from 15 different states to kick off the season.

I was really excited to see 19 drivers in the new Hobby Talk 17.5 Sportsman Stock Division, the racing was close and speed were about perfect at .4 per lap slower than the 13.5 classes.

Great turn-out. And, it's gratifying to see the interest in the new 17.5 Sportsman Stock event.

Awesome race once again. Congrats to all the winners and TQs. Some of the TQs didn't win. Congrats to Nick Sackett on his great run to get the lucky dog ride into the A-main in 17.5.

Very nice job on a great facility that John, Roger, Joe and the crew did.

See you all at Vinton.

This was an unreal race. Huge props to Sonny for running everything in a smooth timely fashion. John Foister and the whole crew made this place awesome to race at. I have to give them a huge thanks. I am still telling people about the tire station.
It was nice to see a large turnout out at the first BRL event.
Next time I think Sonny needs to race as well........

Thanks to Sonny, Mr. BSR, Roger, Joe, Monti and everyone for an awesome race. The competition was second to none. Congrats to all the TQ's/Winners and everyone that made it into the show you certainly had to earn it!

Hope to see everyone @ CEFX

Hi my name is Lorren Johnson I'm Jimmy Johnson's 2nd cousin once removed. As far as the story with me and Jimmy it always end with me putting him in the wall.:devil:

I'd like to thank all the BRL racers for making the trip to our new track. I hope you had as good a time as I did. It's been a lot of late hours but all the kind words this past weekend gave me renewed energy.

I also want to thank Sonny for having trust when he gave us the race (just an empty building at that time) and for running an awesome show as always.

Most of all I have to thank the special friends we have for their countless hours of help getting the track ready. Joe, Monti, Eli, BigMike, Clay, Butters, Sean, etc. (sorry if I left your name out) you guys deserve an applause.

-Roger

I had an awesome time! this is one great facility, my hats off to the whole tri-state crew for putting in so much effort in a short amount of time. ( take a bow) thanks to gals cooking on Sat and Sun, it was nice to see so many big guns there, congrats to all the winners and to you Sonny what more can be said?? The Brl is the greatest show in R/C but I wonder if it will ever catch on?? :cool: Thanks again Sonny for providing us a stage in which we can all dance :thumbsup: ( man was that a long drive home)
