OUTLAW TOUR
Congrats to the drivers who made the trip over to Classic ARCOR Nats... Congrats to Allen for winning the A-Main for the 2nd year in a row - but this time in NASTRUCK. Not sure how the rest of the gang did...
Up Next - OUTLAW TOUR - this will be an oval event, and we WILL run combined on-road and oval racing in conjunction with the OUTLAW TOUR. We are expecting a huge turn out and should be THE event of the Winter/Spring session for the Pittsburgh Area! Come race with the best... or just come watch...

The "Test-N-Tune" R/C Drag Race on May 20th may be canceled. The "new" pavement has not been laid down - yet. We are not sure if the facility construction company will be ready or not. There will however, be off-road racing and Heli demonstrations.
If anything changes, we will post again - it is always a good idea to check the website for the latest details as that is where they appear first.
Thanks!
Mike

Outdoor R/C Touring Car racing - FREE
The Bible Chapel Carnival & R/C event in McMurray has changed venues slightly due to all the rainy weather we have been having over the last 13 days... we are still going to host off-road racing for free tomorrow at this site... but we have moved the off-road to on-road -- to a freshly paved lot so now we can include touring cars!
This starts around 10am and runs thru 3pm all for NO COST!
It gets better... it is a great time for you, the kids and even your parents... Free entertainment and FREE FOOD for those who want some good eats!
Last years event was a blast and SCH is happy to continue to help promote R/C to the Pittsburgh area! The rain is supposed to stop in the morning so that opens up hours of free R/C fun
If you have an off-road vehicle... you can race on-road as well... OR play in the mud!

Whats up Chris? Going well... been working in NYC lately... SCH has a lot on tap for the summer. Thunder in the Burgh next weekend... as far as off-road... maybe at our 1st track in Deep Creek Lake Maryland... not sure if we are going to do another charity event at Hobby Town or not. We have a Steelers celeb race coming up in July. The best thing to do is keep checking the www.steelcityhobbies.com website.
What have you been up too?

Thunder in the Burgh - UpDate for this weekend!
Thunder in the Burgh is coming to Heinz Field and PNC Park this Friday afternoon and will run through Sunday afternoon.
Steel City Hobbies will have the R/C Drag Strip set up on Sunday, June 11th from 11am thru 4pm.
The faster cars will be paired up with the REAL FULL SCALE cars on the main strip to try their hand at beating a real car. I did it 2 years ago! Nitro Mike has the current speed record of around 70mph (that is in 132' ladies) with his electric car (which is now disinigrated by an accident in Arby's parking lot). NitroMike says he has a few things up his sleeve this year with his Nitro stuff...
FREE R/C Drag Racing for anyone who dares to show up.
You can race just about anything!! From trucks to dragsters. If it is too big, we will put you out on the big boys strip - no problem.
Everyone will have to pay a $10 admission fee, which gets you into the whole facility. You will be able to view the real drag racing as well as shopping around the booths and Coke-a-Cola Great Hall in Heinz Field! It is a great deal! The event runs all weekend and looks to be of record size!

Thanks for the post... we are scheduled to race every weekend, although it mostly has been oval lately since we have Nationals coming in in 2 months.
As usual, if we have the racers, we will run any class!
This weekend will most likely be practice since most of the crew will be out at Schenley Park at the R/C demonstrations at the Vintage Grand Prix. I suggest everyone check it out! The R/C helicopter flying is amazing.
