Thank you to Scale Auto for supplying race prizes and delivering 4 of the finest G-JETS you could ask for. These cars run like hell on the Sabatona speedway.

We had 19 racers show up to race at the Sabatona Super Speedway , some drivers made the trip from as far away as Iowa (Rosy,M.Baker) and Wisconsin (M.Block). All the other drivers were from clubs in Central IL and Southern Il. The day started with two hours of open track for all the racers to try to tame the fastest track on the planet! Mike Block took full advantage of the practice time as he ran lap after lap honing his skills for the races that were to come later in the day. After a quick drivers meeting to discuss the track rules and the race format ( team, iroc ,enduro ) the race was started. For todays racing we are using Ford F-150 Nastruck bodys.
