I want to thank Pat Hurley for the Dodge Viper Body that he painted and gave to me at the last race. He knows my affinity for Mopar. Getting it all cut and trimmed for one of my 4” Flexi chassis. Thanks again Pat!

Track Maintenance Day!

Replaced the power indication light on the green lane today that was burned out and corrected the wiring on the power indication light on the yellow lane so it goes out when the fuse is burned out.

Sorry I didn’t get a group picture today. Herb won the Sprint and main events and Steve Hills won the Indy Race. Nice racing guys. It was a fun and competitive day of racing! All cars passed Tech check. A couple were a whisker wide and corrected.

I suspect that there were some cars racing that were too low. Several people could hear them scraping. I want to keep the track in nice shape for our club so I am reposting the club rules again and will be holding a tech check next race. If your car cannot pass tech check you will not race.
