The practice fee is $10.00
Tuesday night practice starts at 4:00pm until 9:00pm.
There will not be any jumps, it is an all vehicle practice night so jumps will not work.

What time racing start on Saturday. I get out of work @ 4

I'd like to start at 6:00pm sharp, so that we can be done at a reasonable hour. It well take me a week to get the timing down. If need be we will schedule the on-road just a bit earlier. The first race is scheduled for November 17.

I'd like to thank Tom Pechumer for his leadership. Tom was able to put together a small crew of stadium racer to build our new tables and deliver them to the track this coming Tuesday. From there we'll attach the legs and I will get a coat of paint on them.
Apple and I will be busy building jumps Monday night. If anyone wants to help with that please feel free to stop by.
This is a great start to a new chapter of racing in GR.
Thanks all,
-Fred

Lots of progress was made at the track today.
We now have 12 tables built and a coat of primer on them.
We also managed to get the table tops built and carpeted.
We are still working on getting chairs but haven't as of yet so some of you may still need to bring one this weekend.
Thanks for all the help guys.

We had a Good night of stadium racing with some really close finishes making for a great time by all.

Congrats to Fred (Tom Pechumer and Apple also) for getting the jumps and tables ready so soon. Great lighting, good carpet and good friends all make for a great place to race. Thanks Guys!! :thumbsup: Can't wait to come back.

And yes Tom Thomas had the biggest impact of the night ringing the support beam "bell" with his Losi.:freak:

GMan :cool:

What a great group of racers. You all put the fun in stadium racing.
Tuesday night is practice night for trucks.
Andy Curran has been kind enough to come in and run the racing for us while we are at the indoor championships. We'll see everyone in two weeks.

Troy,
Yes, I left the jumps up from Saturday night racing.
Practice will be from 4:30 until 9:00pm
-Fred

11-20-2007, 09:57 AM
Yep, I'll be there around 4:30 this afternoon and we'll be open until 9pm. Also, with 95% of the on-road guys being in Cleveland unless there is a big request for it there won't be enough of a turnout for on-road. So the track most likely won't be open until 4pm with racing starting at 6pm or so on Saturday.

no prob fred, all in the name of RC. i am glad to see there are others who share the same passion for RC racing as i do.

AMdemon... no problem, i enjoy helping ppl out. its not fun seeing others struggle with car sets, so if anyone needs help, just ask.

so, how does everyone like the jumps? let me know. any suggestions, post here. we prob wont have a wall, but you will see some amazing jumps that we ( fred and I ) are going to construct in the future. i have plans for a camel, or step up jump, and possably some rolling type jumps. all suggestions welcome thnx.

we had a great 1st stadium race, 15 entries i believe. and i am SURE it will grow bigtime. thanx to fred for makin it happen, taz for the tables, and andy for runnin the show. good job guys, see yall on saturday.
