OK,OK, I can't stand it! Here's the big one I have been working on....

Your two favorite premiere offroad tracks in the midwest will play host to.... anyone?

Many more details to come soon but here are the basics:
This is going to be a BIG DEAL! HUGE trophies, the biggest and best outdoor tracks in the state, organized well-run program, LOTS of door prizes and an end-of-year banquet to award trophies and more prizes. We will be running BOTH nitro and electric, 8th and 10th scales in all of the popular classes.

We have lots of room and options available to us. I am working on a deal with both the KOA and at least one Hotel. The KOA is exactly one mile from us and there are several hotels about 4 miles away. Also food, fuel, convenience, grocery and hardware stores all within a mile :) and lots of shopping and entertainment within four miles :thumbsup:

Simple and effective.... LET'S RACE :thumbsup:

How about old man rookie class 50 and over No wheel chair needed?:freak:
Mod Buggy
Mod Truck for me

I think there is such a thing as having too many classes. We could add masters (and stock buggy and stock truck and buggy 4wd etc.) to end up having a super long program with small heats that is tough to get through.

NIRCSS is about running a smooth, not over-complicated race that everyone will enjoy.

Get 'em ready for the opener at Stateline :thumbsup:

With the Big Tracks that is running this series.Stock would be boring For the most pepole. Alot of guys would probally thermo their motors or burn them up.150-200' straight a ways will do that.
It's gonna be fun I've been mounting tires all week.
Any body have a KYOSHO Truck the new JC Connceots Body kicks butt fights the truck real nice.
See you guys Saturday A.M

Hey for next weekend at Stateline for people who's not camping and looking for a cheep place to stay. Here you go Travelers Inn 35 w st. Freemont In. 46737 exit 144 on 80-90
I-69 phone 260 495 3300 And they are pet freindly. 5 mins.from the track

PLEASE NOTE THE SCHEDULE CHANGE!!!!

OK, late breaking news: The NIRCSS opener has been MOVED to Granger.

We have all had too much rain but Stateline has had a bunch and their clay surface will be next to impossible to drain and get dry to provide the great track and experience that we are striving to provide. Kevin and I decided that it made the most sense to move round one to Granger and round two will be at Stateline on July 2nd in combination with the Firecracker Frenzy. The balance of our schedule will remain the same.

Change your plans! I will try to get a hotel discount and camping discounts for anyone coming in.

NIRCSS Round One - Granger Raceway - May 21st, be there :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'm sure they will. I was telling them it was at your place to begin with and everyone was pumped about coming down. I was telling them about the changes you've made to the track and they're excited to check it out!

Dude, you haven't seen anything yet! Finally home at midnight. A few finishing touches tomorrow and we are ready to rock and roll. And you guys will get to see the track we have been wanting to build. I'm telling you, the guys that don't come are REALLY going to wish they did.

See you all shortly :thumbsup:

Chief Beef in the house??? Awesome...I'm in for nitro buggy and maybe 4x4 SC.

Just got back from the track. You guys are in for a treat! Mike and the crew did an awesome layout that is fast and technical. A blast to drive on whether stock sc or 1/8th buggy. We're gonna have fun tomorrow!:thumbsup:

Get stoked! Just a sneak peek....

See you in the AM :thumbsup:

Where will the results from this series be posted?? here or on another thread???

Well if I can race, I might or might not (I don't think it is a good thing to be unsure of what to race). First I have to see how things go this weekend, but I am guessing that 2wd trucks will have a bigger turn out then 2wd buggies.

......

Just show up with all your stuff and race! Everyone else will be so stunned that it will be an easy win in any class... :rolleyes:

See you in the morning :thumbsup:

Don't think about it too much Conde, as I have no clue as to what I am doing today (I am very tired for some reason). -_-'


lol MIke, so your saying I can get an easy win??? lol

.....

I am, but it doesn't help that I work at 3:30am EST (wake up at 2:00am). I was just out of it yesterday.

Anyways for the NICSS race, I won't be able to make it out there to race due to my radio system going out. I was really planning on making this race, but I had a unforeseen issue pop up today. So yeah that takes care of my plans.

I don't really want to have to use someone's radio for a 2nd week in a row. So sadly no racing for me next weekend. :(

But on a positive note, I was wanting to get new electronic equipment, and now I have a reason to get some new gear.

.....

We will be moving our practice day this week to Friday evening for the warm-up to NIRCSS round three on Saturday.

The track will be open 5:00 - dusk Friday. Open at 8:00 Saturday - race at 10:30

NIRCSS rd 3, see you trackside this Saturday :thumbsup:

For everyone coming in tomorrow for round three of the NIRCSS the physical address for Granger Raceway is 51465 Bittersweet Rd. Granger, IN 46530. If you are using a GPS you will need to come a couple blocks farther south than it will tell you. The raceway is behind my primary business (The Car Place). Follow the driveway around the South end of the front building and you will find us. Please use the driveway. Even though it's just field grass I am trying to keep it decent.
Be safe travelling and we'll see you trackside in the AM :thumbsup:
