With our first race of the season behind us it's time to start a new thread.
17.5 Rubber is a fast and perfect pace class.
Track building at 9:30am and racing at 11:30am
It is a pleasure to have help setting up and at the end of the day help putting everything away.

Next race: July 26th

A show of hands, who will be attending.

Hey Andrew,

Good to see you guys this weekend, definately gonna try and get to that side of the state more often. Just under a 3 hour drive, not too bad.

Hey Steve,
If we can get enough interested in Oval we can make a layout that would be easy to change.

Rain looks like it should hold off except for a scattered shower or two. I'll be there around 10'ish. My crawler is in a pile of parts waiting for some new goodies so I snagged the 17.5 out of it and taped up a couple sedan bodies so I'm good to go for some regular TC action.

Our next schedual ashpalt day is this following sunday August 2.
Show of hands for who will be there?

I think it would be cool if we could get the indoor track all set up so we can get to some indoor racing soon!

Looking ahead to the indoor season there is a fair amount of preparation that needs to happen before we go inside this fall.

A fresh coat of paint on all tables tops and all wooden boarders.
Paint the scoring riser.
The tile floor needs to be cleaned with a power scrubber of some kind.
The plastic lane dividers need to be cleaned.
Glass windows washed
Bathroom cleaned from top to bottom.
Back room organized and cleaned.
Carpet restretched

Please consider how you can help.
If not physically, monetarily.

Things needed:

Floor scrubber
Floor cleaner
Floor patch
Glass cleaner
Toilet paper
Paper towels
Bag of cloth rags
Tall kitchen trach bags
3 gal. White semi gloss paint
1 gal. gray semi gloss paint
2 gal. Lacquer thinner
