We had a club meeting Sunday and we have decided that no one, absolutely NO ONE, will be allowed to bring their stuff into the building, No Table or anything, until the carpet is in and the carpet and tables in the back in set up. Once this is done then people can bring their race equipment and tables in and claim a pit spot.

If we don't do this it gets too confusing and hard to get the wiring spread out and the carpets into the building and set the tables up where they need to be.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

IROAR

just curious are the racers responsible for their own tables or are they supplied at the track. Ajs last post raised the question Thanks Jason

Hey Jason,

You will be good to go for tables. There is plenty to go around. I'd bring an extension cord & power strip though.

with the many different tracks, what traction compounds are allowed.
thanks

Wolfman

We have allowed all traction compounds, most use paragon. The only reason I brought that up is that some racers bring their own tables, sorry for the confusion. We usually rent about 40 tables and there are already some at the building.

Wow ,:wave: who's Nark Steiner?? in Pro mod lol.. What ya do to sonny mark? LOL..:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

he's the new racer, but old video maker lol:p;)

Wow ,:wave: who's Nark Steiner?? in Pro mod lol.. What ya do to sonny mark? LOL..:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Racers please let me know what flavor of Kool-aid you would like to drink at the next drivers meeting....:thumbsup: It comes in a white and red can. BUDWEISER:drunk:

I love knowing that win, lose, or wreck, I'm gonna have a hell of a good time at the track next weekend :)

My is, pink in the middle lemonaid :thumbsup: :woohoo:c'mon larry,now your just pushin the limits of decency here,personally i prefer CHERRY! SEE YA IN VINTON!!!:p:wave:

Rick I think larry is right, but if you want to put a cherry in the pink?????

Sonny, I'll give the local grocery stores a holler tomorrow when i get to town and make sure they setup an endcap with Kool-Aid on it right inside the door. Might even see if the local girl scouts want to setup a stand outside if the weather is nice, but i'll have them clear the flavor with you beforehand, sound good?:)

Rick I think larry is right, but if you want to put a cherry in the pink?????

ahhh, nuthin like a little pink cherry lemonade!!!!:good call!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Mad dog 20/20 would be more adequate.

unless your serving it in a vat, like JIM JONES then I'll pass

Wolfman

I cancelled 1 room with 2 beds at the Modern Motel. If somebody's looking for a cheap room close to the track, give them a call.

Mike , why did you cancel your room? you still coming up?

We're still coming. Big Rob that usually races with us can't make it.

Forget the racin, I'm going for the pork.

What a great weekend of racing. WOW

Thanks to all that were able to attend, 9 states were represented.

Thanks to Sonny for all his hard work.

Thanks to Mike R.,Danny B., Randy, Dave and all the club members of IROAR who have helped put on this really fun event. And a big thanks to anyone who helped set the track up and tear it down when the fun finally ended.
And thanks to all the racers for being ready to race when it was there turn and marshalling when it was their turn. 18 heats of qualifying started at 2:00 yesterday and done at 7:30, started today at 10:00 and track put away and awards handed out and done by 3:30.:woohoo:

Thanks Jason Klein and family

As always had a good time at a BRL race. Vinton has to be one of the best tracks that we go to. The whole IROAR Club does a great job. The pork chop dinner was a great idea and the Parks Dept has excellent food and service.

It was fun seeing all the Western racers again. It was our first time pitting in the back with the Northen folks, Steiners, Kleiners, Hack and Hays.

Hard luck award would have to go to my buddy Shane. Track broke down on the way up, had to stay with Phil and Chris all ,weekend, and then gets out qualified by me!!!!! Maybe Sonny can get AAA to put up a membership for a door prize. Oh wait, that would mean you would have to win it.

Bob finally told me what his Wife really put in those brownies. Thanks Deb.

Does anybody have pics of the winners?

Hey Sonny, stay in shape, might be more events coming up.:)

Had a great time, guys- thanks to everyone associated with IROAR- track was fun!

Wolfie, Jason and Rick had a fun weekend, see you guys in Cincy!

Ben great job in the 21.5 A main congrats on the win!

see everybody in a couple of weeks.

I forgot to mention a hugh thanks to Lefthander RC for sponsoring the race this weekend and all the companies that donated prizes for the raffle.

Had a great time this weekend! :woohoo:

Big Thanks to Sonny for the BRL. Thanks to Lefthander-RC for sponsoring the race! And to all of the IROAR Crew for making it happen!

Congrats to all the winners! See ya in Cincy! :thumbsup:

For those wondering, after a couple new battieries Shane got about an hour from his place last night before ditching the truck on an off-ramp, he hitched a ride with Aundrea and I the rest of the way. He said he was going to head up today after work to figure out what's up.

Other than that drama, we had a great weekend. Big thanks to the IROAR crew for all their hard work putting the show on, the sponsors for the raffle and making all this possible, and of course Sonny for all the heavy lifting he does keeping the BRL rolling.

See ya in Cincy!

Nice to see the friendly faces this past weekend. Wish things would have worked out better for me, but still glad to see everyone. Hope everyone made it home safely. Thought i would pass along the info below in case someone came upon this and was wondering:

I had an old friend from high school, shouldn't say old i guess, he was 26 years old, who was rearended on his motorcycle north of town on sunday afternoon and killed instantly. I'm sure that some of you may have come up on the scene if you headed out that way. He was waiting to turn left into his parents drive and was run over. Tragic loss as his mother was a school teacher and father was an attorney in town so everyone knew him and his family.

Mains only results can be found here:

Full results can be found here:

The 17.5 4 cell "A" main I watched Kevin Klyber WON!!!!!!!

Klyber missed a lap in some contact with a lap car. both Sonny and I saw it, i guess it never got changed in the computer.

Also thanks to all the racers that made the trip. Thanks to all the loyal club members that helped not only this weekend but throughout the year.

My biggest thanks have to go to the racers though. You guys were on the ball this weekend. When I was running the races we were averaging about 1m15sec between races. Thank you guys, it makes it so much easier when the Race Director doesn't have to wait for racers or call for turn marshalls all day.

all the rest has been said!

See some of you in Cincy or elsewhere.

Danny B.

I agree with Terry, I was sure that Klyber won the race.

If that is the case be sure the Big Chuck gets that information.

Again thanks to all.

I had a blast getting to see everyone again. Thanks to the IROAR group for putting on a good show. See everyone in Cincy in a few weeks. Maybe I will have some better luck there.:(
Oh yeah How about that 21.5 field man it was close.

Jason Jackson

I agree with Terry, I was sure that Klyber won the race.

If that is the case be sure the Big Chuck gets that information.

Again thanks to all.

Yes Kevin won, and Dan was 2nd not Brian. Kevin missed the loop when Koko tapped him coming off of 4. Chuck needs to be aware of it.

Jack

The 17.5 4 cell "A" main I watched Kevin Klyber WON!!!!!!!

Kevin did win 17.5. As Danny said he was forced below the lap counter. We both saw it and modified the results on the print out.

Also the other results are going to look a little strange because of the way we had to manipulate the computer program for bump-ups and the lucky dog. I will try to post a version that is easier to read soon.






I guess this is also a good time to thank AJ, Dave, Danny, Ken De Good’s son (sorry can’t remember his name) and all the IROAR club members for their help this weekend. You guys are the reason that Vinton is such a fun place to race at every year.

Also a big thanks to all the racers for keeping things running so smooth. I think the BRL could run on auto pilot at this point. (Must be the Kool-aid):D

52 racers in the SMC 21.5 Super Stock class was awesome to see. Good close racing as well.

Thanks to Hays from Lefthander R/C for sponsoring the event and to all of our other sponsors for their support and product donations. We had a good weekend on the raffle nd it pushed the total to $2065.00 that we will be sending to the Victory Junction Gang as seasons end.:thumbsup:

One more to go. See everyone in Cincinnati for the Novak National Finals in three weeks. (full race info coming soon)
