thanx Rob
Jim is running truggy, he is letting me use one of his other truggys. I also posted an article on a local forum and it has had 450 views, advertising the race sunday. Not to mention the recent news coverage. It could turn into being a HUGE race day.
I hope you guys can make it, but if not, enjoy the other track. I heard it's pretty cool.
JD and Jackie will be there for Slash racing.
No rain is forcasted till late next week, so conditions will be great for a good day.
BTW, my buggy (Hyper 7), another Hyper 7 for parts and a monster truck (RTX-27) chassis w/body are for sale. PM for details.
See you guys soon.

ED, thanx for the track work and making it out for the time you could. I will be running truggy and soon buggy as long as we race at Altoona Raceway, If I ever miss a day I will be curtious and let Rob know. I did a heck of alot better than I did last week with a fast lap of 29.284. Had no runnaways or melfunctions. I do want to check out the other tracks in the surrounding areas,just got alot of work at the raceway to do.

Yesterday
Yesterday turned out to be a practice day.
Myself, Jim, Ed, JD ( Lester and Jackie ) and Michael McMullen and Brian. It was alot of fun and very laid back. Thanks to the few that attended.
I'm not sure yet on next race day. There will be no race this weekend due to the RAC.
I will probably be down to Lost Creek though.

Altoona Raceway Members
All Altoona Raceway members, as you all know I am new to this.
When I initially took over the track, I had no intention of running a winter series this year.
Requests and inquiries have changed my mind. However, the building where the winter series has been ran is way too high priced. Considering the state of the economy, $2,000 a month is very high.
Here is my request to you guys. First, Help me find a building to run a winter series and I will do it. The building can be rented per month or on a per-use basis. Monthly rental would be the ideal situation.
Second, by a show of hands, how many winter racers can we expect? We can and will run oval and course track set-ups.
I realize it is only September but before we know it. winter will be here.
Please guys, help me help you get your winter racing fix.
Thanks
