Hey they rules sound great to me, I will make a visit to the track, next week and race!! I look forward to meeting all of you and having some fun!! :)

Thursdays results are up on the website now http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html

We should post a sign up sheet for the Little Brickyard race.
The real one is on the 8th of August, so we could do it the week of (the 5th) or after on Thursday the 12th.

Hi Andy. We can maybe do the Brickyard race on a tuesday if there is enough interest. Thursdays are already scheduled for regular racing. Let me know if there is and I will run the scoring system and race also. Thanks.

Well, quite a few have expressed interest in a Little Brickyard race, but not enough to have an all evening event. Walt suggested that we have a team race, but with just sightly longer heats. Say, at 8 minutes each, equaling 32 mins, plus time for pits (about 3 mins), totals 41 minutes. Which is shorter than two class races. That might be just right to keep everyone happy, including the regular Thursday night crowd. I think that just like the DTM class, more will jump on the bandwagon.

For those interested in a NASCAR event, we will likely have one later this year. I have some matters to take care of on Thursday the 12th, so I won't be there.

last thrusdays resalts anybody??? just want to see my name in front hahaha

You got it! http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html

thank you

Hello to all the guys that race slot cars at Summit. Starting Sept 9th check in will be at 6pm and racing will start as close to 6:30 as possible. With this we can all get home a little earlier. If you are coming in late call ahead if possible or we will work you in as the night progresses.
To all the guys racing Camaro's there is a new trick to make them handle better,see me for details. Moose

Hey speedracers. More results are now posted. http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html

Cars-track- Accessories- Will Sell All Or Seperate-take A Peak

Results from tuesday night september 2 are up now. Thanks for all the laughs and great time of racing everybody. http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html

Missed ya Wally... David we need to step up our vintage GT II cars,I beat my record tonight by two tenths and still finished a lap and a half behind Gary's 129.1. WOW!!! Moose.

Thanks Moose, see ya next week. Was Gary driving his Slot-it Porshe GTP car monday when he did that? :rolleyes:

moose you going to race at dave's this season steve

Hi Steve long time no hear from, Ron and I were just talking about that. We will be back again but on a limited basis with gas prices as high as they are. When is the first race? Got some new bodies I want to cast. I looks like my HO track will be going to Summit next week. Maybe I can peak some interest in the little cars there. Ron and I have been running 32nd cars two nights a week and 24th cars on Wed nights. I don't know if I could run one of the tiny little cars again. M00SE

Hey Wally,yes he was!! He has this thing about 129 laps doesn't he? M00SE.

moose track opens on oct 3 but raceing don't start till oct20 but I'll get a hold of dave before then if I can and let you know. I can't wait to see your new body's talk to you latter steve

The track at Summit has the aprons done now to run the track backwards.
I will be installing the reversing switches this weekend.
The HO roadcourse is ready to load onto the truck to go there tonight.
Next week the track runs backwards so all the records for clockwise will be recorded and everyone can go for new ones in each class... Moose

Three lanes a rewired and the last one will be done Sat morning.

The track backwards is a challenge, about a half second slower per lap . Brakes might become very important.

If any one wants to come and help me finish,your help would be greatly appreciated. Moose

Shane Mills was in the raceway friday night and bought the Jim Hall Corvette Grand Sport to race on mondays. He says he is really looking forward to slotcar racing this season and will be there this monday.

You guys should all thank Gary for helping me with the track Sat morning and into the afternoon. We got the rail bridged from the old starting line to up the first hill in all four lanes. You can realy feel the differance in the amount of HP you get coming down the straight. Now we only have the rest of the track to do, man is it time intensive.. The lanes are all rewired and the timer is working
great. Do not forget your Moose Juice since we are running with the RC practicing at the same time and the dust has been bad lately. The groove we had broke in going the other way will not be the same groove we will be running from now on. so traction is a little hard to come by. We will switch back to clockwise after the first of the year. Looking forward to seeing you all show up to race,Moose.

Hi all
We have had a slow turnout at both the Monday and Thursday night races, hopefully you will all get back to racing. We had 6 racers last night and we ran 2 classes, prototype and open wheel. Josh ran my GT Porsche and won with 121 laps. The open wheel race had 4 cars that all finished within 3 laps of each other,the first three were a lap apart. Way to go Terry running 128 LAPS!!!!!
See ya at the races, M00SE

track must not be much different going this way like we thought.

I think it wont be long tell we go past the 129 mark that was set for the other way.

had much fun so get your self to the track or you will be left behind

Wow! Had a great time monday. 60s Sportscar was pretty much Cobras race but I know David and Shane and they'll run stronger next time with their Corvette Grand Sports. David's Chevron BMW ruled the 70s rear motor GT race as Moose won the classic nascar race with his Roadrunner for his second victory of the night. Also it was great to see Scott Bethke back. He mentioned that Pete is doing well and should be back soon. Results will be posted soon. Thanks.

Flash!!
Hot off the test track!!
You can true the new silicones on sandpaper if you use Windex as a lube.

Hey Palmeter. When are ya going to bring that Corvette GS to the summit to play again. My Cobra's gettin hungry and vettes are its favorite meal. :p

Sorry I couldn't make thursday. Whatever Mullins was racin must have been pretty fast. http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html

Interesting night tonight. 3 racers no marshals and if you went off you had to go hit the space bar. It was amazing how well everybody was able to stay on the track. Scott and Pete ran a handicap race with me running a SCX Audi with old style tires while they were running Lola's with the new Indy grips. I made a race out of it and finished a half lap behind the winner Scott.Then they let me run one of the Lola's, man those a great running cars. I kinda put the hurt on them in that one, but Scott finished in the top three. Even though we did not have enough people to race we still had a ball and my sides are sore from all the laughing.

I would like to scedule races with classes picked ahead of time but it makes it real hard if I do not know how many people might be showing up.

I know there are some guys out there that have other commitments and I understand. We will still be racing two nights a week so if you can show up and we will race something. M00SE

Hey Moose! I know exactly what you are talking about. Dave and I had lots of fun having our little "NO CRASH" races. We would do a 60 lap race (10 laps in each lane) if you crashed in your lane, we wouldn't hit the space bar. The other guy could continue as slow as he wanted until he got his 10 laps in. While the person who crashed had to sit and watch. One time I crashed in the last lane, and to be funny, Dave sat down and ate his dinner before finishing his 10 laps!! Do you know what it's like to lose to someone who not only is turning 15 second laps,( a normal lap is 8 secs.) but stopped to eat a sandwich too! You can't help but laugh. We almost had to have a "No Crash" race last sat. as all but two people from the "B" group left when they didn't make the feature, and we were left with no marshalls. It does make it more interesting!! See you sat. Terry

Hi all

You may be wondering what happened to the old Moose. I am now in the second week of a BAD case of mono. I can't return to work till at least Wed of next week. The insurance policy Verizon has states that you cannot leave the town you live in while you are on sick leave. So it may be a while before you guys see me again. Good part is. I have lost 15 lbs bad part is I can't stay out of bed. The Dr says it will take months before I feel completely back to normal.
have fun raci with out me,M00SE.

Sorry to hear about the problems, Ken. :(

We missed you Monday (although Kermit II was excited to have one less tough competitor to worry about): ;)

Great news Moose. Check out the results from monday. http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html David dominated the sportscar classes with his L88 vette and Chevron BMW and Pete took the open wheel win with his Dallara. I got David formating new rules for the raceway and hope we can have them soon. See ya soon.

Wow. Great racing monday. Congradulations to Scott, Pete, and Ron on their hard fought victories. I myself ran the Trans-Am race and thought I had 2nd place for sure but I couldn't hold off the hard chargin Shane Mills at the end and just barely got third over Walt. $50.00 dollor gift certificate was won by Shane. Keep checkin here for results.http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html

Don't forget we are going to have another $50.00 certificate drawing thursday. Also there will be some discussion on future racing. More results are posted now.http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html

Scott will be away for a few days during christmas so results will not be posted.Gary Trump took two wins tonight (12/24) with his Corvette CR5 and Lola MG, while Shane Mills won his first race ever at Summit with his Ford in the Nascar race. Also Shane ran the new Scalextric Viper and it looks like this car can be competitive in its class. Andy won the $50 certificate.

Congradulations to Jim Wallen, Andy Carwright, and Ken Wehnert for winning the big Sportscar enduro. http://www.summitrcraceway.com/ For more results check http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/slotresults.html Don't forget about the vintage sportscar enduro monday january 31. Thanks for the great turnout.

Wow! Lots of close intense racing action at the track tonight. First race had Pete and Scott (Ferrari & Ford) battling it out till the end with Scott winning by .2 laps. Then the next two races it was Ron and I going for the win with Ron winning the Vintage Nascar race with his Talledaga Ford and me winning GT1 with my Ferrari Daytona. We were with in a half a lap of each other for both of those races also. Thanks everybody for coming out last night.

Hey WallyWe hardly even noticed that you were not there last night. You missed a close race between Ron and I with us finishing on the same lap the same section and the same corner. The win was determined by one car length.
We also had an 1/24th IROC F1 race won by David but Scott was close and had the most laps in 4 minutes with 33 on 9.5 volts.
David could you please bring some 5/40 nuts if you can spare some???
Scott I could not get to sleep till 2:30 after eating that peppermint death.
See ya all on Monday,Ken.
