I will post race dates well ahead of time along with any other news.

Along with suggestions about the track and times,I also need help with something else.
We may plan on having on hand popular tires and parts that may be needed.
If I could here from folks what compounds and brands they preffer,we'll see what we can do.Sedans seem to be all running purple/orange with purple.
What about 12th scale?
Anything else that would be good to have,motors,motor spray etc...
Please post or e-mail me.
Thanks.
Tom

Good job Ray, you must be getting old... you tapped a board. :hat:
1/12 tires, Purple fronts, grey rears.

I think Saturdays would be best because, Steel City and Arron's will both be running Sundays. I think several racers would like to race both days. Stock lots of Tc-3 front end parts "darn pipes keep jumpin in front of my car."

what about ordering a car?

what about ordering a car?

At this time,we will be working out of our own pockets to keep tires,and parts so noone has to stop racing for the day if they have problems.
A good source for having a completely stocked shop has not been finalized,as we will consider this in the future.
I will refer you to local hobby shops for your larger purchases.

Very good point,we had allready planned on running opposite days of other tracks.
Keep the ideas coming.
I'll check into removing the "legs" from the pipes so they can't run around. ;)

Every other week sounds good, the earlier start time is also fine with me, and I am not too particular on whether its saturday or sunday. As Tim said, I can adjust to the changes, as long as they are posted.

Thanks John.

Sounds good to me Tom, btw, stick with the losi:thumbsup:

You may be correct about the TC4,but I'm gonna try some more stuff,it was only the 2nd time I ran it.
It's a little fragile(I know,don't hit stuff) but other than that,it's easier to work on and it has the same adjustments as the XXXS.
If you need a ride on race days let me know.
YGM.

Tom,
Good luck to you and partners with taking over the Raceway! I'm sure it will continue to be a fun place with a fresh staff. As usual, EVERYONE is welcome to compete at SCH anytime as well for both Oval and On-Road. :wave:
Mike

Thanks Mike.

As posted earlier,we are racing this Sat,Feb 12th.
Doors open at 9:00am,track opens at 9:30am.
We will start with road course practice,switch to oval at 10:30.
Switch back to road course at 11:30,then back to oval at 12:30 until 1:30,close the track,have a drivers meeting and start racing with oval at 2:00, to keep the groove in the rug.
We plan on switching from oval to road course for every heat,unless the racers would like to do it differently.
Other things on the slate include running 3 heats and the mains,up to, a to be determined number of racers.Again,with the input of the racers.However,we are sticking with 2 heats this Sat.
Future plans call for new carpet,tire and parts inventory.and a change in required traction compound(witch we will have upon determining which compound)We have recently found that "Jack The Gripper" brakes down the fibers in the rug.
Possibly starting a club for the track that may or may not be affiliated with other tracks,club benifets and probably a points series.
For more news and info,keep an eye on this and the oval thread and stop by on Sat the 12th.

Something else to keep in mind,we will probably be racing on Sundays for most of the future races.We continue to work with other tracks in the area to finalize the schedule.
We will be taking input from you-the racer as to the frequency of the races,weekly or by-weekly.

Shyniah wants to know if anyone is going to race Mini-Ts on Sat?

As far as i know mt girls are going to be there brett.

finally got me a win in sedan

Date for next race is Sunday-Feb 27th
Planning on the early start time unless we here differently.

autry.t@comcast.net

are we gonna be running the 3 heats again next race or are we going back to the 2 heats

Depends on the turn out,and if everyone wants to.
We will announce how many heats about 1/2 way through practice.
I have some batteries if you need them.
