Does it have a web site?

Mach,
Are you who I think you are? (There is a lot of that running around lately)... Thanks for taking notice. Last Tri-Oval "Debug" month race this weekend. We will be posting a regular schedule for the winter months this week on the website. www.steelcityhobbies.com.
Mike

I hear there is going to be a road coarse race tonight. It is going to start around 7:00.

its about time somebody in pittsburgh did something right all under one roof very nice
I guess you have never made it down to River Junction?:cry:

Well i heard river junction was closed up so i've never made it there

Yes Mach3, the STORE is closed. But,......the racetrack has been used a NUMBER of times already, and the next race will be Oct. 16th (Sat), with the doors opening at 10AM, and the races at 1PM, with PIZZA! arriving at 12:30PM. Pizza, Just $1.00 per slice or 2 slices and a can of pop, just $2.50- THE BEST DEAL in R/C :lol:
I wish you could have seen this place in it's heyday, as there is not a better-planned(or executed) racing facility in the tristate area-really. The track was purpose-built with only R/C racing in mind- 200 amps of electric for just the track, 100 lights, plugs at every table, bathrooms trackside, carpeted pits, REAL OZITE racing carpet, covered tables,chairs, cable TV (32in.), heat, A/C, NO PARAGON, NO SMOKING, and ceiling fans to suck away "burnt motor" smells. If you can, it's not too late to take in the experience- come by on the 16th, and we'll have something to show you. John @ The Raceway :wave:

Sounds good John i'll try to make it

Well i got a chance to see some racing at S C H
was very impressed a lot of people were watching & racing
but there was a tall gentleman that kept yelling get out of his way
cause he was the lead car and throwing a fit like a little kid to me that was
very unsportsman like conduct if you ask me i dont know who this gentleman was nor do i care i think it was very wrong what he did i sure wouldn't want to race with anyone like that!! Who does he think he is specially when there was little kids around..

p.s this post has been edited cause of the hate mail i've been recieving :devil:

Did he have blond hair and a mustache?

yeah i think he did

How impressive could the racing been if the tall guy was in the lead? :devil:

I would like to see that. lol :jest:

Snookie....LOL
Meatstick??

We hope to have our new Frequency Board this weekend and it states a few track rules. One of them is no profanity. The track has a pretty relaxed atmosphere but sometimes people get caught up in the heat of the moment... with that said, everyone knows of their mistakes and have hopefully learned from it. It is Nice to have a self-policing track where everyone looks out for each other.
Racing starts at Noon this weekend so saddle up early so we can get out of there early! (More time to play after the races)
:wave:

Mach, (and other HobbyTalk people):
Please introduce yourself next time you are at the track! I am narrowing down on a lot of people on here who like to remain anonymous. :lol:

I do have to admit; River Junction was the track back in its heyday! When it is open, it is a nice facility as Ozite is the preferred surface for carpet racing. As you already know, we too have Pizza, but in Buffet form, and Shorty's famous hotdogs, to general concessions with anything from chips, dips, nacho's, arcade, etc. all under one roof. You even have a drug store right across from the store!

SCH truly is the most convenient place to race R/C with 2 major interstates, very close to Ohio, WV and MD. The nice thing is that we have an evolving dedicated R/C hobby shop that is growing by the week! If the Raceway in Beaver is racing, and you want to make the drive, it is a good time. For daily practice and weekly racing, SCH is hard to beat. You will see your race results posted on the website www.steelcityhobbies.com after every race. It is the only track where the racer makes the rules! :devil:
Have fun!

How impressive coud the racing been if the tall guy was in the lead? :devil:

HE HE HE!!! :D

So did SCH fine and dock Allan driver points? ( WHO ALSO RUNS THE #8 BUD BODY) :p

You people act like The Raceway is closed. Still racing with some of the best drivers in the country...

Pfft, Dale Jr. RULES!!! GO DEI!!!

Shorty's has good sloppy joe's too, you can't forget the sloppy joe's

Snookie,

Did you read my last post? I said, "When it is open..." I am sure that that track has been stacked with racers from time to time. I wish I had started to race on carpet years ago because it is a ton of fun when you have a lot of competition to race with. "You people?" :lol: Stop in again sometime but this time bring your car! Your welcome anytime.

Say... thats a good idea! But then again, I may get phone calls late night about that. :lol:

Hey Mach,
Please close one of your threads so we do not pollute HobbyTalk with redundancy. I appreciate all the exposure. You may be able to ask Hankster to combine these two down to one. Email or call the Washington store if you need any help.
Thanks!
Mike

Allen,
SCH track is currently open every day but Monday so stop in. We still have your Royal Heinous' pit table set up and roped off just for YOU per YOUR request. :jest: Also, you ONLY have 1 warning from your 1st day and get two more! But we all hope we do not get any more mall complaints from parents about the way some act on the drivers stand.
Racing starts at Noon on Saturdays!

After all of these great items, John forgot to mention, the track is fully handicap accessable, including rest rooms, pit areas, and driver stand area....

Ask anyone who has raced in the tri-state area, and based on your description we all know who you are talking about. We have all seen it, we just hope he has found a new home track...:p

only if we hade somewhere good to race...
Seems like River Junction will be open this Sat., And we all seem to agree that it is a good place to race. Why not come on down and we can see this race challenge happen?

Mike SCH.
how can you get mall complaints the last time i was there no one shops ther.
HA HA.......

Are you saying that mall guards are not people too?
:lol:
It was another "sell your junk" day, but this time with familys selling what they could from the latest flooding... in case you did not notice. It was a nice turnout.
