Racing will be held on Wednesday
Nights and start time is 7 PM. Please show up early to register (no later
than 6:30 PM )and if you want to practice.
Wednesday nights will be for
rubber tires on vehicles (see link to
rules).
We will be running a Modified class for foam tires and
such on Friday nights, pretty much anything goes here. The points don’t count
towards the season series, this is just for the love of speed and to win gift
certificates.
And don’t forget to visit Leslie at the counter for all
your parts, coffee and food needs…..(she said I had to mention her name or
she would be upset haha).

Also added is the individual
stats link at the bottom of the racing
stats.
6TH March 2002
Well guys, sorry it has
taken me so long to get the page updated. Work has been taking it’s toll. I
have been unable to get to racing for a couple weeks now, as my schedule
makes it tough. On the bright side, I am going in to the office to work out
my new schedule today, March 8th. A new company has bought us out,
and the manager was suggesting I take a Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm job. From
working graveyards, 12 hour shifts, all this hassle is going to finally pay
off !!!
Well, since I missed getting
the write up done for last weeks race, I will jump straight to this weeks
race results as best I can.
For a new twist:
1st place 2nd Place 3rd Place
  
Pete Bill Dean
The field was rather small this
day with 7 racers. I guess you guys really missed me being there. Brad was
going to be there, he called me 30 minutes before race time at work and was
waiting for his dad to come give him a jump. Guess the problem was worse than
just a jump.
Okay here is how things
went:
On one side, Pete was running
his hopped up classic Jaguar against James, Sam and Marie (running spoiler to
have enough racers to fill the track) on one side. Bill, Dean, Kevin and
Chris on the other. From how I understand it, Pete dominated in the points
department and Bill dominated in the lap times. I am now getting some help
from Bill to take care of the stats page, I am showing him how to edit and
upload the page to the site. Seb seems to have abandoned the pics page so I
am going to completely rework it this weekend. I have ordered a digital
camera, so I will get my own pics of all the cars that run, and I can do
short videos too. Stay tuned to this Bat channel!!!

I am loving this Nascar circuit more and more. The
speeds are awesome. And the Scalextric cars we use are incredibly tough.
Thanks Leslie (Apollo Hobbies) for this car. It is the only one that looks
like that, (having a unique car is very important to me) and a very fast car.
Archer races on Monday nights. Be
there by 6:30 PM for 7 PM race start.
