It's almost that time of year again. With the help of Pete Russell's hobbyshop and All Pro DJ's we will be starting an annual charity race on Sunday November 30th.

We will be running a little different race program than normal. Timed 4 minute qualifiers and lap count for the mains. All pan car classes 13.5 and 17.5 will be 100 laps, sprint mod mini trucks 75 laps, losi slidier and latemodel 60 laps. No entry fee to race! Just bring an new unwrapped toy for each car you are going to race. If you don't have a toy please make a donation to the toys for tots. ALL PROCEEDS will be going directly to the needy children of Elkhart county. Start time will be 12 noon donuts will be provided.

We willl have a couple of uniformed Marines at the track to help out with collections. Any questions just post them here or PM me or email any questions to allprodjken@embarqmail.com.
