The Indy 500 was an oval race hosted by the Indianapolis R/C club (think they held nationals in 1968 or so, even before I was involved, and one of their pivotal members was Bob Stevens from Citizenship radios, made in Indy, who was a great announcer) and the 500 festival committee - it was kinda fun cause the r/c racers could even sign up for the kickoff breakfast and the lap around the track as part of opening day festivities.
I'm a terrible pack rat and probably have some literature / newsletters lot's earlier than 1977, crap I've been doing this waaaaay too long

I have a open invitation to setup a booth at the Detroit Grand Prix to promote RC racing in the area, and possibly help move along the idea of having an RC race during an event like this. I sent out an email several weeks ago asking for volunteers to help man the booth (free tix to the event) and I only got onew response. What a shame... My deadline to apply is monday. I guess It wont happen unless people contact me ASAP.

There is alot of stuff going on that weekend.
Cincy is having their RC Pro 2 day race the Tri-State 200.
Chicky is getting Married in Cleveland that weekend. (We may never see him again)
Then there are always the family things. (Can someone tell me what an engagement party is? HELP)
Last on the list is some Football. Oh well, it is only money. Just give me time.

I guess you're right, I guess I shouldn't really be saying 'shame on us' to anyone considering the circumstances for the labor day weekend. Unfortunately, Roger Penske could not be reached when I enquired about moving the date for the DGP because of the schedule conflict... Regardless, anyone out there that was thinking of going to the Detroit Grand Prix instead, please contact me for free tix asap.

No problem, and actually, this wasnt' really a 'DRCCC' thing. In fact, I probably won't be doing much of that any more since there is really no interest anymore. The purpose of my intentions to set up a booth at the Detroit Grand Prix to do something positive to promote RC racing in the area by passing out flyers about RC racing in general, showing off RC cars and videos, and to give information about where people can race, Midwest Series, Toledo,CEFX raceway, and Larry's to name a few...

You're Wrong, Tom
I never told Tom Kelley that the Midwest Series started in Detroit or that Detroit was one of the original clubs. I don't appreciate the misinformation. I worked hard to help keep the Detroit club in business for quite a few years and did the same for the Midwest Series. If my son and I ever race again, it will undoubtedly be in Toledo.
