I haven't given up on this Saturday yet but this rain has been just killing us. We were working on the upper deck of the stand in the rain this evening! Believe me, we all want to get racing too! I'll be sure to announce the opening in the next couple of days. With a little luck and a lot of work we'll get there.

And here is proof that we have put in a lot of work and hours into getting the track ready as soon as possible. Also keep in mind there is a lot of work that can't be seen in the photos.

Looks good, Better in person. I'll try to get some better pictures tonight before it gets dark.

Looks good guys looks like you guys had a Blessed Weekend, Hats off to your board members and your helpers.

Update, Update! We WILL be racing THIS Saturday (the 22nd)! The weather has been ridiculous and it has been a lot of work but we are getting close. We can use all the volunteer help we can get tomorrow afternoon and all day Thursday. If you can help in any way it will be greatly appreciated!

Who is in for the first race at Granger Raceway?

Track will open at 8:00 am racing at 11:00

Huge THANKS to my guys and the volunteers that have been working very hard in tough weather to get us racing!

I hope I can make it out there, but I don't really know if I will be able to anytime soon.

This might be a silly question, but you are running nitro buggy and truggy aren't you? Some tracks around here are separating them from the electrics and are running on separate days so before I truck down there I'd like to make sure. Thanks!

Yep, we will be running the nitro stuff on Saturday also. It will take at least six to make a class (and from the response we have gotten that should not be a problem). We'll run nitro stadium truck also if enough show up. If we don't have enough of a particular entry we will try to blend a class so everyone can run. I think it will be worth your trip!

Hey Jeff. Come over after work and race, you can still make two heats to qualify! Yes, we intend on racing next Saturday also.

I'll stop over tonight after work.See you guys later

Wow, what a difference a day makes! We did not get pictures because we worked past dark last night but the progress was awesome. Big thanks to all the guys that donated their time. We will be racing this Saturday. I'll get more pictures up tonite so everyone can get an idea of our layout and facilities. Gettem' ready and bring it on! Track opens at 8:00 - racing at 11:00. For anyone that has missed it, the track is behind my primary business (The Car Place) 51465 Bittersweet Rd. Granger, In. 46545. Follow the drive around the front building and you will see the stand and track. We will be running all the typical classes - nitro and electric. Six entries make a class. $15.00 first entry $5.00 each entry after that (your kids included).

See Ya Trackside! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

will get more tomorrow.

Man you guys really put the hammer down since I left at 4!!
Woo Hoo!! Get r done.

we got more then the above done too, but no light for pictures.

Yes we did!

That is looking sweet, although sadly I don't know if I will be able to make a race any time soon. However I will try to make it out there just to hang out.

Just one Q, how do you get on the drivers stand? I know you can use the lift, but that just seems like a hassle.

I'll bet they're building stairs!:rolleyes:

IF you were to bet we're building stairs...you'd win. ;)

From Mikes Helicopter You only get one chance per heat.:confused:
j/k

Yeah and you don't get a ride if you don't marshell

Skyhook!

I'd fall off that for sure....

Chargin up my packs now, diff was crunchy in the Blitz. It had mud in the tranny case.

Can't wait to run on the whole track, should be a good time

should we bring a boat for backup?:p

OK, I called us ready to race but mother nature had other ideas. While we are all willing to work in the rain to be prepared, the track will need some drying time and grooming to be ready to race on. Work will continue over the weekend. If anyone just wants to come and hang out you are welcome but the track will not be open until practice on Wednesday. We will be racing next Saturday and the track will be in much better shape!

That is good and bad. Good, because we couldn't make it this weekend. Bad, because you all have put alot of time and effort into getting a great track done for us racers. Not to mention money.

We will be there next Saturday. My son and daughter will be ready to tear up the track with their Blitz's.

Got directions??? We have a group of around 10 - 15 racers that like to travel and would love to check out the track... Your more than welcome to come to Indy and check us out also...

We'd love to have you come up. I imagine we could send a contingent your way also. The easiest way to get directions is to visit our site: grangerraceway.com - for the map and more info. Unfortunately we got a monsoon today and the track will be too wet for tomorrow's race so we are postponing until next Saturday. The crew will touch it up and prepare it well for next week and I expect the racing and turnout to be awesome! Hopefully you can bring a group. See Ya Trackside!

There is also a group of guys from Leisure Hours that are discussing making the trip next weekend. 5-10 of them, maybe more.

The track opens at 8:00 am and we will be racing at 11:00 sharp. Two heats, resort and then a third - then we race! Heat and main lengths will be typical of roar rules. I will be looking them up and posting them later this evening.

Come for open practice Wednesday 5:00 - 9:00 and be ready to race Saturday!

See Ya Trackside :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'd love to but I wouldn't be there till 9 by time I get out of work. Looking to make the road trip this weekend.

Yep, every Saturday! Thanks for the compliment.

So if I am looking at the pic right the stairs go under the drivers stand? If so that is sweet.


I got to say that layout is just great looking (I will just say すごい), and should have some nice close tech'y racing.

Whats everybody bringing to race any truggies
