The latest information on the Dirtburners season is to have the track rebuild next weekend 3/28 & 29 and have the kick off race the first saturday of April 4th. The race schedule is yet TBD and unfortunately the website is not quite ready for its relaunch. But once it is up and running all questions should be answered.

When do R/Cer usually go for practice? Date & time?

Just wanna check out the local scene.

Well Big J, with us being newbs to racing down there, what I've been told is that the traditional start date @ DB's has always been the 1st weekend of April. Last years flood was the first interuption of the kick off race. But if April comes around and the weather permits, its nitro season in STL.

just checked web site and no info posted about the racing season yet! big j did they get a track president or the guy who is resp. for setting up race season. i looked still no avail and havent heard of that eather. This is also my first year racing 1/8 scale and im willin to help out when i can, but maybe some one needs to post something on there web site that says come on down we be doing this this day and so on.I think that was a problem from what i heard of a comitment factor but it would help some of us that love the sport maybe devote some time to help repair the same thing we set out to destroy every week

The new website with all the updated information should be up any day. As far as when to show up to help...since there are only 11 days left until opening day, you can pretty much stop by ANY time to help and someone will be working (weather permitting).
