First of all, I want to thank each and every one of you that came out to tonight's "members only" meeting. The turnout was unbelievable! Without your support, membership renewals and generous donations, none of what I'm about to post would be possible.

Here it is......
This Sunday (October 3rd, 2004) the club bus will be in place to start the unloading and setup process for this years indoor season. HOWEVER.... There's a slight difference this year. Our new winter facility will also be our new spring, summer and fall home. Yes, you read correct! We've signed a long term FOUR YEAR LEASE on a very unique location. We'll be having year round indoor carpet racing, outdoor dirt off-road and if all goes as planned we'll have nice new shiny asphalt to run outdoor on-road! Did I forget to mention boat racing too??

Here's the address.....
We'll be conveniently located in the "Rivertown Sports Complex" at
2605 Sanford Avenue SW
Grand Rapids, Michigan

Here's a few of the buildings great features:
Smooth flat concrete floors
Large track size of 40' X 100'
24' ceilings
NO poles
Great lighting
His/Her bathrooms
Snack Bar (NOT run by the GLRC)
Ground floor access
Centralized pit system
Security alarm

We'll also have a fresh & exciting new look throughout the entire racing complex!
We're shooting for our GRAND Opening date to be Saturday October the 16th.
This IS YOUR reformed, reorganized and refocused GREAT Lakes Racers Club!
:eek:
Thanks!
John, Fred, Ed and Tim

Wow, what a night. Turnout was great. WOOR paid back 100% of the entry back to the racers. It was a cold night but the action was hot on the track. The new layout was great, which the the reason the racing was so close. I could not keep up with the lead changes at times! The 1/8 scale "A" main buggy had a 30 min main. Everybody had a great time. Hats off the Chad & Nolan for putting on a great race! I could not find the sheet for the 1/8 scale "B" main so I could not tell Nolan & John times in that Main.

Well, I sure do regret missing the whole year this year. Heck I just found the last box of nitro stuff last night. With the new house, & baby this year there just isn't any free time. Who knows, if you guys are running a few more weeks, maybe we will try to at least stop by and say hi.

Have a good one.

I heard from a friend of mine that he recently raced at riders and had a brushless system stolen out of the back of his van by two people and that they both are racing in the grand rapids area so if you know who did it or you race in the GR area watch your stuff :thumbsup:

his explanation is that he has a friend that raced several years ago that gave it to him, because he didn't need it any more :jest: :jest:

and we are not stupid they came out a year ago, so someone is a big liar and thief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
