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.

I sure hope everyone is ready to have fun tomorrow! 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.

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.

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

smokey · #11 10-09-2003, 02:53 PM

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

frdsrul · #12 10-10-2003, 10:53 AM

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

. 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

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.
