We had a great day of racing yesterday. It was hot, but the shaded areas of the church parking lot provided areas where some drivers could pit without even without putting up their easy ups. I've never raced with a better group of people who just came out to race and have fun. We had rookie drivers, young drivers, and old drivers. Everyone pitched in to help clean up which we greatly appreciated. Our youngest driver, Ethan did a great job. Angela our rookie driver did a super job. Special thanks to Steve who brought his trailer for our drivers stand and even brought an air compressor. The Slash Class provided the most thrills, spills and fun. Watching six Slashes and one SC10 coming down the long straight away was great fun. There was a lot laughing and friendly kidding in that class. John drove Slash for the first time using a borrowed truck and finished second overall. He did an excellent job! I think their may be a Slash in his future. We had a few more drivers which added to the money that the church will receive. Thanks to all that came. I've included the race results.

We had avery good race today. There was a small turnout, but everyone had a great time, there was great weather, and everyone pitched in to help. John was a big help setting up, Steve brought his trailer for the drivers stand, and everyone help to pick up the track. Our two young drivers did a great job! I'll be posting the results and some pictures in the very near future. Special thanks to Gary and Scott who washed the track to get rid of the pop we sprayed to increase traction. You can go to Chi Town RC forums and see some great pictures Gene took.
Here are the racing results from yesterday's racing. We had a small turn out and a great time. There were four new racers to our races. Two of those drivers, Michael and Alex, were young drivers. They did a great job! Most importantly, we raised money for the church. Thanks to everyone for their help. It hasn't been decided if we will have another race.
