I will be there. I would just like to say that if anybody is intimidated and thinks they would not be good enough to race with us, please come in and see what we are about. We (the group at Park Lane Hobbies) will give you cars and controllers to use. We will help you set your car(s) up and will explain everything you need to start slot racing with us. Our group ranges in age from about 10 years old up to around 67 years old. I have had my butt kick by the oldest and the youngest members during some of our races. I am 56 years old and I am having too much fun not to try and get some young or old blood out here with us to race.

Rick or Verb ...one of you guys PLEASE email me directly a few days prior so i can try and make arrangments to come ! I am going to say i will make it barring a set back. BTW i don't have anything like an SRT setup but as you know i can help anyone who needs it with TJETS via loaners or tweeks or parts. Whatever i can do to help out i will give it a go. LMK

I posted an offer to the central IL. guys that if they show up with at least 4 skinny tire dirt late models we will run a 2min. special race so we can see them run, they seem like a cool class.
