We will be having our first race for this season on 10/3/03. We will be opening the doors 9/30/03 for practice from 6:00pm - 9:00pm in Van Wert, Ohio. If you want to check out the track you can go to our webpage http://www.geocities.com/vanwertraceway/main If you have any questions just ask I know many of our racers are on here and can try to answer them. We have a class called Stadium where it is offroad cars and trucks like the RC-10T3 that we have built jumps for so all you offroad racers have a place to race during the winter months.

If someone has never been here, U are missing out. this is the most racer freindly track I have ever raced at " I been to alot of tracks in 11 YEARS! I would really like to see some Ft Wayne guys here. Now many of our local guys ran there in 2002 and 2003 season and we had a blast! I also plan to make many trips to Ultra to also share one heck of a good time with U guys. Sure hope to see U guys 10/3/03 at 5 to 7 racing and it all starts at 8. Believe me once you check it out you will agree its a heck of a time. :wave:

I just thought I would let everyone know that Summit R/C Raceway in Fort Wayne, IN is going to hold a Oval trophy race Sunday, October 12th. This race was originally scheduled for the Schoolyard R/C track in LaGrange, IN, but was rained out. The event has been moved to the carpet track at Summit R/C Raceway. Trophies, prizes and lots of great racing. You can call the track Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturdays at 471-2722 for more information. Also look at the website
http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/raceway.html
The race flyer is http://pdxracing.sytes.net/schoolyard~summitflyer.html

Doors open at 8am, drivers meeting at 11:30 and racing starting at 12:00 with 3 quailifiers and a main. Entry fee is: $15.00 - $10.00 for each additional class and 3 cars make a class.

Sonny Brown was at the first race this past sat and said, " For those that haven’t made the trip, the track is smooth, fast and had pretty good bite for the first race weekend. Run line is about 145 with 12’ wide lanes. More then enough pit room and new AMB digital lap counting system. The only thing they need is for more racers to take advantage of the track."

Bring all your friends and tell anyone you know that wants to get abck on the rug. The rumor mill has it that some of the Indy crew is coming as well as a Big guy from Kentucky and some bearded guy that can wheel pretty good from Cinncy.

If you need more information or directions please feel free to contact me. I am not affliated with the track just trying to get everyone together for one hell of a race.

Happy Birthday C111........i just hope you dont think your birthday is going to keep me from running ahead of you....lol...i cant wait till the week end

Smoke - You gonna have your girlfriend's son racing stadium this year?

I Got A Losi Just For Stadium.......and With A Little Flanagan Power And A Hired Gun Behind The Wheel Anything Is Possible.....even Your Record....lol

not my record Heater still has it she still has .01 seconds on my best time but I am trying hard to get it back... If you need help on getting it setup to jump right up there let me know. It'll be a challenge since it is a Losi :tongue: . That Flanagan power is what is gonna kill me because now I am gonna have to start doing motor work. I like it better when we all run about the same that way it is up to the driver. See you tonight

:jest:

the snack bar will be open tonite.......two types of sandwiches breadsticks nochos....and a lot more...see ya there

Smoke - The Racer Babes are back huh? Good deal!!!! CYA tonight... :jest:

Well last Friday the crowd was a lot bigger than our first night. I think tonight will be even better since crops are coming off the fields. I was talking to Mark about the first points series and it might be starting up in a couple of weeks. We'll keep everyone posted.

:jest:

BIGGER.......... the croud is getting bigger and also a lot FASTER!!!!!!

MUDD....who said you could break the 19 turn record twice...lol...i am glad you did now it will give dave and i something to shoot after......but remember we were only a few feet behind you so dont slip in MUDD...lol....great run chuck......oh you to dave......see ya later

practice practice practice ......the things i have to do just to keep up...lol

The crowd was even bigger this last friday we had 14 heats running. Smoke the stadium class is starting to grow again. Always a lot of fun racing with Mike, Heather and Mike A. Real close racing and believe it or not CLEAN racing which always makes it more fun when you can swap positions every lap with other drivers and know that the open wheels will not meet :D . CYA all this Friday.

:jest:

C3 told me 6 cell is pretty big over there, but do you have any 4 cell classes on a weekly bases or would you run one if we brought a few guys.

We have great 4-cell action every week! 4-cell stock being our biggest class with about 9 to 12 every week. Our 19T 4-cell is probably loaded with our best talent at the track. CIII & Charlie Flanagan with Dave Hoaglin always great racing in that class. Come on over we'll save ya a spot.

Russ Belt :eek:

Thanks Russ will try to make it over soon.

Sonny Brown - If you want to run a class we don't run now we only need 2 cars to run it. So gather up some friends and head on over.

:jest:

two new records last week ..............what does this week have in store........19 turn and 6 cell are really turning on .......and and lets not forget about the wild russ owned 4 cell class...lol....excitment at it's best....and i have to get one of those stadium trucks.....that really looks like fun........see everybody this week end

Hey Smoke- I have'nt heard from MUDD is he coming friday or does he still have a hangover from his PARRRRTTTTYYYY!!!

After the nats at akron there's a bunch of Mi people that want to come down and run some 19t with you guys. Maybe some 4 cell mod, bristol style. :thumbsup:

mudd will be there....well not totally tho i think he might still be hungover...lol.....i think it is great, it sounds like some ppl may come and try our track ......belive me there is no racetrack that can be so close but have so much fun also be so fast......yes bristol syle...

Smokey
I ran XXXT in statium last year. If you need some help with your truck let me know. I can't drive or work on my truck due to surgery on my left arm/hand. I will be more than happy to help-you will have to turn wrenches. :) I will be at the track on the 14th. If I can get my son away from girls and big cars for about a hour to set my truck up I may try to practice during the week. ;) My truck is set up for dirt. My Son and I been running XXXT last 3 years on carpet and dirt.

I've had good success at track with whatever handout motor Paul has :thumbsup:. Most of the time I run 47 laps each heat.

thanks i am going to set up the truck and if i have any trouble i will call...thanks....we had a big croud and a lot of fun friday .....i kept looking for you ,,......i hope that hand helas up soon....until next week....

Papamerkle - Hey if you run your consistant 47 this year you are going to make the A main every week. Last Friday I ran 50 laps but that was the first time anyone has broke 48 since the beginning of the year, and the only way I did that was because there were only 2 trucks and I threw a mod in her to try and get the record. Came up one lap short :cry: Heather wins again and she wasn't even racing.

Just to let everyone know we are going to be starting our points series for the year November 7th THIS FRIDAY.

The track will also be holding a cash money race on December 7th so mark your calenders. We will post more details later on the cash race. With a list of classes being run.

GO FAST TURN LEFT :jest:

frdsrul
I am planning to practicing Tuesday to see how arm and hand holds up. I found a few things broke/crack when I set truck up for dirt. Maybe I can start running 48 laps each heat. ;)

I like changes made for qualifying: I can get a good lap count 1st heat and 2nd heat I can do some R&D :devil: ;)

Shane.....the November 7 race is a trophy race not a cash race ........see you this friday

Had a good pratice Tuesday night. Ran 2-3 hours.
I may have to try a mod motor if there only 2 drivers in a heat. :thumbsup: Could be a good night for some big points? Arm and hand feels great.

Smoke - sorry bout that slip of the finger...

Papa - Well hope everything goes good for you tonight with your hand and all... With you up there and hopefully Kay will run and if we are really lucky Jason & Heather will be able to run tonight if they don't have to work o.t. CYA all tonight

:jest:

shane i am going to ge tthe truck ready this week .....i want to be ready for you and dale

Smokey
Are you practicing Tuesday? I should be there.

hi dale i came up and i but 60 weight in the shocks.....should it be lighter?....

Charlie
I run 30 weight. Planning on running 40 weight this weekend. If you are running orange springs 60 might work. I do have extra springs and pistons if you want to try something different. I run my setups on soft side. I found a front arm broke on truck Tuesday afternoon-maybe that's part of my problem last Friday.

Shane we need a flyer on the net about our trophy race......if i can help you in any way i will be glad to....see you tomorrow

Sorry Smoke The computer here with the scanner needed to get reformatted so I am working hard today to get the scanner up and running again to post the flyer.

So guys what did I miss last Friday since I was unable to come due to a pup that I just picked up from the vet...

:jest:

talked to dave and he is concentrating on the new stock motor to dominate!!!!!...he is bringing up his hired gun also......to kill the 4 cell class....Yes the one and only SCOTT the dominator....[.self proclaimed]...

just to let everyone know I talked to Paul the Parts Guy and he said he was going to be late getting up there because he has to go pick someone up. I think he said his daughter. He said he should be there about 10:00.

:jest:

:dude: if SCOTT is "The Dominator" than cIII must be the fastest man in the 4 cell class cause he beat "The Dominator :freak:
