Hi Guys & Gals,

We're hoping to get the season started on Friday night Oct. 10th, 2008 at the new Hobby Stop West Raceway at the Woodville Mall. :woohoo: We'll be racing on Ozite this year. The track is 80' x 36' so it's very different from the RCP track of last year at the Legion Hall.

Call us at 419-471-1108 for details or come by the track.

Practice on Wed nights from 4pm to 9pm $7

And we'll be there this weekend for Open practice on Fri 10/3 from 4-9 =$7. Sat 10/4 from 9-9 for practice = $15 whole day or $10 half day.
Sun 10/5 from 9-5 for practice $7.

The track address is 3725 Williston Road Northwood, OH 43619 and yes it's the same location as it's always been since Hobby Stop first owned it and Josh Cyrul had Halo Hobbies or where Rev Raceway was last season.

Thanks, Pat

Hi Bud,
Pat said that we will be racing oval this Saturday, the 24th and then every other Saturday. Doors open at 9am and racing starts at 1:00pm. Racing usually ends around 6:00 or 6:30pm. 3 qualifiers and the mains. Track is ozite 80ft x 36ft overall with the oval having 12 foot inside corners at the ends. It would be great if your group could come out and join us. Pat also has snacks, coffee, hot chocolate, bottled pop and water and a ping pong table in back room: D.

Bud,
That sounds great!! Looking forward getting together with everyone.:thumbsup:
Dave B.

Bud,

Now that I've talked to you, we have a good group of guys that are excited that you and your fellow BRP'ers are coming on Saturday. I know four of our group that went to Conneticut and saw how well your car performed are excited that you are coming. My son and I that did not get to go to RCMadness are looking forward to getting a car of yours to race with also.

One question I did not cover in our conversation was batteries! Talking to Dave he said you recommend Team Scream cells. Can you tell me who to get in touch with to get some of those for us? :thumbsup:

Thanks,

Hey Dave,

I'll be getting the points updated this weekend, hopefully! Sorry but with the holidays and the track flooding I've just not kept up with the talley. Please forgive me.

Pat

Pat >> I'm out of batt's right now.

Any pictures of the track? Do you have tables and chairs to pit on? What other gear do you recommend we bring other than our R/C stuff?

Pat has 44 pit spaces with chairs (very comfortable I might add) with pleanty of electrical pluge for your needs. I will call Pat to post some pics of the track after he opens @ 10:00am. Just bring all your RC stuff, refreshments and snacks are also available including coffee. Looking forward meeting everybody. I'd like for a group of us to come out to your track real soon also.

Great day of racing Guy's !!!! Pat nice track :thumbsup:
Hope to get back out in several weeks and do it again.

whats the class for oval .... do you run 1/18 late models and sliders and some general rules

what batteries and or motor did you have to have to be competitve in Toledo??

Pat - thanks for putting on a good show! The track was great! Looking forward to returning and racing all the guys that purchased the fun and durable BRP!

The BRP guys ran a little of everything. But they are going to set up the new class sort of based on our rules so I think it will be 4 cell.

For guys building new BRP kits, this will save you some time.

Does the whole car come with it?

No! The title says body, but I guess i should specify for some people!!

Boy, That would REALLY save some time!!

Dave or Pat,
Anything planned for a big event? Mini GLC? Looking for an excuse to get the Duneland/RATFactor crew over there! We could probably get some of the MRL guys to come from the east too!

Ron,
Oh, for sure. :thumbsup: Pat and I have been talking about doing a Mini GLC style race at Toledo for the 1/18th scale crowd since we first discussed it with you last September. We just need to get the plans going. With most of the big 1/18th scale races already scheduled, picking a date shouldn't be a problem. I will get the ball rolling with some sponsors, etc. We are racing on road this Friday night and oval Saturday, so I will talk to Pat to get things started. This would be a great way to get the "NEW" 80'x36' indoor Toledo track back on the map again.
By the way. Bud Bartos and his local racers (5) came over for an oval race 2 Saturdays ago. They did a great job of showcaseing the BRP car. It was well recieved and put on a great show.....pretty good and close racing. Pat has already sold 6 kits with more kits ordered for interested buyers. I'm sure this will be a very popular class for the Toledo crowd and also for the "Mini GLC" race. It TQed and won (1st and 2nd) at the Nat's.
Dave

Dave >> See if it's possible to set up on one for the weekends that We don't have a BRP points race :)

Bud.....that was the first schedule I was going to check. We want to make sure it won't interfere with you guys for sure. We're anxious to see a good turn out of BRPers for the "Mini GLC race". Judging from the BRP car sales at Pat's track, along with your group of racers, that could be one of the largest attending classes.

Thats the normal around here. BRPs are the biggest class

Hey guys....put Saturday, April 11th and Sunday, April 12th. on your calender for the On Road / Oval "Mini GLC" (Great Lake Challange) at the indoor Toledo track. After talking to Pat last night and checking the 1/18th scale racing events for the remainder of the indoor season, it has been decided to have it on those two days. We figured that will give everyone enough time to plan for it. Flyer and more details/classes to follow. Any suggestions are also welcome. :)
Dave

Cool !!!!

I added the race to the BRP calendar...

Hope We can get all the Ohio east BRPer's to go !!!!

Micro_Racer...... thanks

Bud........Me too! Hey, the more the merrier.

Hope We can get all the Ohio east BRPer's to go !!!!

I think one Western Pa. BRPer will be making the trip also!!!!:thumbsup:

Cool !!!

I'll start promoting it at Duneland right away! I'm sure we can get a respectable crew to make the trip. If we can get the MRL guys to come, we could have a more competetive event than the Nat's!

If it is open for consideration, I vote for on-road on Sunday and Oval on Sat.! Some of our guys can only make it on Sunday...

Ron....Pat and I have discussed it and he has decided to do Oval on Saturday and OnRoad on Sunday. We also noticed that the 4-11-09 and 4-12-09 dates are Easter weekend, so the new dates will now be Saturday 4-18-09 Oval and Sunday 4-19-09 OnRoad. We are currently working on the flyer. Classes, hotels, rules, etc. will also follow shortly. The flyer will be posted on this site, and RCtech under "Micro and Mini Scales". Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome.:)
Dave

Dave - thanks for the info. I have updated the BRP racing calendar and started a new thread on HobbyTalk.
