I would like to thank each and every one of you who attended and made the 3rd Annual Fall Classic a success, with out you it would fail.
I owe a special thank you to Mike Darnell and his staff at Mike's Hobby Shop, Mike Dumas, Ray Rabe, Andrew Doherty and my lovely wife Trish. I couldn't have done it with out your help, support and use of this fabulous facility.
Guys you have no idea how good you have it.

The 75 entries of quality racers coming from all over Texas and Oklahoma, and as far away as Bella Vista and Jonesboro Arkansas; Byram, Mississippi and Kansas City, Missouri produced top notch racing all weekend with no previous Fall Classic winner repeating as the 2009 champion.

I am especially proud to have the talented "Young Guns" racers of Cameron and Steve Eaves Jr, Matt Foster, Alex Noah, Cameron Crane and Ryan Carpenter attend. Their ages averaged under 13 years old. Way to go guys, you held your own against some of the regions top factory backed racers. Wow, what a future you have in the world of RC racing. Its going to be exciting following you. These young men were all very well behaved treating everyone with respect on and off the track.
Don't let their ages fool you, they where down to business the whole weekend. If you don't know these young men you will.

The layout offered its challenges but the opportunity for plenty of track time tamed it for most of you. We had our setbacks and computer issues but we were able to overcome most of them. Sundays program started late and took longer to run then it should have. I take full responsibility for that and give you my word at next years program we will do better and back up plans are already in the works to solve other unforeseen problems.

I look forward to the 4th Annual event and a better format so you can enjoy the city or get back home each day earlier.
If you have any questions or concerns, or ideas to make the show better, I am open to any and all your voices.
Hope you all had a great time enjoyed it as much as I did. See ya soon!

Sincerely,
Steve Crane

2010 MID SOUTH REGION RACING SCHEDULES

I thought it would be a good I idea to start a thread regarding the upcoming 2010 Asphalt Racing Schedules, so that we may get everyone on the same page in terms of race dates.

Over the course of the last couple seasons there have been many many mentions of getting the Memphis (MSRA) Schedule and the Jonesboro (Mid America RC Raceway) schedules to work in better harmony and even brief discussion of a points series between both cities. I would like to make this happen for 2010. I would like for all racers on both sides of the river to be able to make all races at each place if they so choose.

With that being said Ill start by laying out my tenative plans for the Jonesboro schedule. I do not plan to host nearly as many events as I have done in the past. This will make it much easier to make the schedules mesh, but mainly Im just looking to change things up a bit. I do however plan to have some "Feature" races that will be spread out all throughout the year. Some of my plans include,

TCS Warm-Up (this will be a tunning clinic intended to help newer drivers)

TOP GUN Shoot-Out (click link below for some hints of what to expect)
http://rcevilempire.com/2009/08/race...gun-challenge/

BTH Warm-Up (this will be a tunning clinic)

Mid America Regionals (to replace a State Race, or a ROAR regionals)

Fall Brawl Sparring Session (this will be a tunning clinic)

As you can see this is far fewer events than I have done in the past and there will be more focus on helping newer drivers rather than catering to already experienced drivers. I feel that this will be a good change and make each event hold a greater value. If you would like to take part in these tunning clinics by filling the roll of tutor for the day please feel free to contact me by P.M. You may be suprise at what you have to offer to a newbie.

I intent to hold these events in the order they are listed above. I would like arrange the dates of each event to align with the MSRA schedule. If we can do this and still come up with a points series between the two cities then that would be great.

I am hoping to get lots of helpfull constructive input on this topic so that we may plan the best outdoor season yet.

Discuss.

Check out their website at www.thundervalleyrcraceway. New indoor offroad raceway with onsite hobby shop opening the middle of Nov. I just checked the pictures out and it looks awesome. So all you diehard RCers get your stuff back out and lets all head down to Beebe, Ar.
