There is a thread in this section that specifies the dates and times of the series races. All other race days are club races and do not count as series points.

Welcome! As you can see if you have any questions just feel free to ask. As a wise person once said "The only stupid question is, the question that is never asked."

And I always say, dont ever ask me a question that you dont want a blunt honest answer to. I lack the sensitivity gene I guess. Might be the common sense gene? When I lived in Muskegon I use to walk through the mall telling the "kids" (punks) that their hats were on sideways and it made them look stupid. Oh the things we do for fun! :thumbsup:

Statistics show that 99% of OSU grads get jobs after graduation and are taught 2 recognizable statements before they can get their degee " Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order" and "Welcome to Walmart, do you need a cart today"

Can't argue with statistics like that! I hear the other 1% at OSU play football and sell all their trophies to support their "families".

Someplace between 60 and 70 entries tonight and not a single 4wd buggy in the building.

Nice turnout tonight guys. Tons of fun racing. Looks like everyone who got a new toy for Christmas came out to play with it. Track is fun, once that thing grooves up its going to be smoking fast! :thumbsup:

This new layout...yall are missing out if you haven't ran on it yet. Sick fast! Not sure how you crammed a huge track with a 1/4 mile dragstrip through the middle but it is bad ass! You know the track is huge when tq is 14 laps. Great job to all who labored.

Yeah, its unfortunate but the 4wd buggy class has all but disappeared in the last two years. One of the fastest classes out there and a blast to race in. Not sure where they have gone. I know of maybe 6 guys who still own one in this area, there might be more. Only problem is no one brings them to the tracks to race. I would love to get a B44, but cant justify it when it would never get to touch the track.

i think the reason we dont ever see them anymore is cause no matter what brand you get, they break to easy.. mostly towers and if its a losi would be belts and towers

I'm in the same boat, I know there are enough guys that have them and a few guys interested enough in them to get one if we raced them. If we could just all come together at the same time with them. So I say to the guys with them, throw em in your car when you come out and maybe, just maybe we could get it going again.

A couple years ago I had had a B44 as well and the people that also had them sold them and went for the 1:8e instead which goes along with the fact that they are fast and [Don't] break like 1:10 4wd. And then there is the SC class that didn't well the 1:10 4wd buggy. I'd still like to race them again but around here there aren't worth having.
