In a blatant bump just to gets some more views on this thread....
After one month of being open we had a sweet turnout this past Wednesday night for a club race of 23 racers with half of them novice sportsman racers which is great growth for the hobby!
Here are the race results....really good to see a great electric turnout being the beginning of nitro season.
Winter Slash Bash presented by RC Driver Magazine...
One lucky participant is going to get a brand new Traxxas Slash!
Parma is donating some of their Slash bodies for door prizes!
Castle Creations has also shipped some goodies.

Slash Bash 09
Host: RCHR
Sponsors: RC Driver Magazine, Traxxas, Castle Creations, MaxAmps.
Date/ Time: March 29th.
2 classes: Spec Slash and Open SC.
Rules
Spec- Slash must remain stock and you can only use tuning parts included in the kit such as preload spacers and pinion. You can swap out the radio and receiver. Batteries were originally going to be 6-cell matched and a 20C Lipo, but it sounds like most racers want to run a 30C so we may have to tweak this rule depending on what everyone wants to run once we are all there at the race. Custom painted bodies are allowed.
Open SC- Any mods to your Slash is acceptable, open motor, open battery. Must use SC type tires and SC body any brands. If someone somehow has an SC10, it would run in this class only.
I set up a wireless internet router so you guys can use laptops in the pits, see me at the track for setup information.
Also I set up a computer trackside with the latest Tekin and Castlelink software for speed control tuning. Handy for looking up speed control manuals on the internet too.
Next I'm working on a Tv, Vcr, Dvd setup to keep the kiddies distracted.
MAY 29TH (FRIDAY) I WILL HOLD A 1/10TH 2WD NITRO TRUCK TEST RACE INDOORS.
RC10GT's, XXX-NT's - 1/10th only, no 4wd's, no 1/8th scales, no CRT.5's (yet), no monster truck (T-maxx/Revo).
We have been testing a few trucks on the track and it hasn't been that bad, so I want to give it a try. We might not even get enough guys to run an actual race, so it may just be a nitro practice night.
On Saturday a reporter from the Waterbury Republican newspaper will be stopping by around 3pm to do an article on our business, so hoping to get some good turn out to look good for the paper.
Weather.com says rain till Friday, all the more reason to come race indoors.
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend, especially the enlisted and veterans.
Here is a nice article our local newspaper the Republican-American in Waterbury, CT did for our hobbyshop and track. It covered the entire first page of the business section with 4 color photos and even had a 5 b&w picture on page two continuing the article. Thanks to the writer Marc Silvestrini and the photographer Jim Shannon.
