NASCR3 04-21-2008, 06:06 PM Attention Race Fans!!!
This coming Friday April the 25th, I am proud to announce that in conjunction with the Army National Guard, Pit Road Racing Collectibles will have on display the 2008 National Guard/Mountain Dew Amp Energy Drink #88 Chevrolet Impala SS, that is driven driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. We will also have on display the car known as the "Flying 11," a 1937 Chevrolet Modified Coupe that was raced locally at Albany Saratoga Speedway in the late 1960's and early 1970's when the track was still asphalt by driver Ray Hendrick from Littleton NC. This is the car that won the last race ever run at Langhorn Speedway & has been completely restored to better than new condition and is a true piece of racing history. Come on by and see how racing has evolved from it's more humble beginings to the ultra high tech Cars Of Today. Don't forget to bring your camera as photo op's can be had with both of these cars. Viewing hours are form 9AM to 4PM this Friday April 25, 2008. Tell your friends as this is one of the last times for the 2008 season that these cars will be in our area. Thanks for reading and we hope to see many of you soon.

Looks like we may have some 1/18 cars too!

Free Cow Tipping across the street all night long!
NASCR3 05-24-2008, 10:37 AM How did it go last night?
Todd Putnam 05-25-2008, 01:02 PM Track was smooth as silk- awesome bite. Everyone who showed up was treated to an incredible facility! :thumbsup:
My Nitro Powered Late Model was a helmet ride- any who wanted to try it got to turn laps in it- some turning their first laps ever in a nitro ride. Many grins and thumbs up, and even a couple of cars sold!
Good to see Jeff and Scott Hotaling make the trip from Fulton, as well as The General coming out from Rochester to lend his nitro tuning skills-:thumbsup:
Nitro and electric- too cool!!! :thumbsup:
Looks like we may have 6 or so coming from Binghamton, and another 6 or so coming from the Syracuse/Rochester are next Friday. Get 'em ready!

OUR GOAL AT MASTER HOBBIES IS TO BUILD THE PREMIER RACING FACILITY FOR OVAL AND OFFROAD RC RACING HOWEVER WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE RACERS THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE.
IF ANYONE HAS MORE INFO ON WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE US DO FOR WEEKLY EVENTS PLEASE CALL OR POST YOUR THOUGHTS THEY ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
AFTER TALKING WITH SOME RACERS OVER THE LAST MONTH WE ARE GOING TO SWITCH TO WED NIGHT'S SAME TIME'S PRACTICE AT 5:00 RACING AT 7:00 THIS WILL START 7/16
ALSO WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON TWO MORE BIG EVENTS WE WILL POST INFO SOON, ALL I CAN SAY IS GUYS YOUR NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS IT!:thumbsup:
