WOW....2026 USRA Scale Slot Car Racing Nats in the books. First, we pray everyone gets home safley...
12 races, 12 Champions. Raceway was open 8 days with 7 days open 12hrs or more each day. Couldn't have done it without support of family, friends and the racers. Thank you all for the support and congratulations to all the winners.
Thank you Don DA Barber , David Gibson , Keith Short for help around Raceway.
Thank you USRA Scale Slot Car Racing for allowing us to host .
Thank you Ron Hershman for running the show and everything you do for the hobby.
Thank you Roger Schmitt and Mid America for your support.
Thank you Jim Radford and Jk Racing products for your support.
Thank you Joe and Mitch Pelan and Ryan McDaniels for your help in running the show.
Thank you Jeff Cox for the HP...got me my first Scale National title.
It was a lot of work running both flat and bank races in one week, but had a lot of fun and would do it again.
Shane Parent has become a good friend of ours and I want to give a special shout out to him because he has earned the Iron Man tag. He was here every day and ran all races , other than future stars race.
Special shout out to my family. My wife and kids help keep the raceway going.
Last, but not least....big thank you to my Champ Catherine Carter . I can't do this without her . Daddy loves you.
Apologies if I forgotten something, but please know we are grateful and humbled for the support, help, positive comments and encouragement from you all.
We look forward to hosting other events.
We also look forward to the Scale Nats at Lanes Raceway next year. Thanks to the Kirtlley's for being here.
Good luck to both Lanes Raceway and Duffy's Raceway next year in running the 2027 Nats.
One final thought.... racers won trophies and will hold special spot in our hearts, but the friendship gained are priceless. Not to say we don't get amped up in the heat of the moment.... but all good when power cuts off. Got that line from Chris Radisich . If you couldn't make it this year, for whatever the reason, you missed out. I hope politics can be put aside one day and WE ALL can just enjoy Racing slot cars without bitterness and choosing sides.
Goodnight everyone and THANK YOU ALL!!!! 😊
