One last Great Outdoor event before we moving inside. Please make it a point to get out here for this one. There is no race on our calendar that means more to Race Em R/C than this Race. After all it was Jerry Zaugg who put Race Em R/C on the map.

A Message from Justin at Z&M Hobbies,

"Due to a very last minute availability in equipment I have decided to do a complete rebuild on the Indoor Track this weekend. Tomorrow there will not be practice available on the Indoor track. Of course the Outdoor and Rock Crawling is still open.
I am very sorry for the last minute change in the schedule. The equipment became available and decided it is over due and needs to be done!"

As everyone know the JZ Memorial Race is our most important race of the year. All of us here at Z&M Hobbies and Race Em R/C take a lot of pride in making this race one to plan for year after year and this year is no different. With that said it is important that we are able to offer the best experience for everyone who attends the event, due to the amount of rain we have received over the last 48 hour and the estimated rain fall totals that are expected tonight we are going to move the JZ Memorial Race indoors. Currently there is 8-10" of standing water on the outdoor track and with the heavy clay mixture we currently have we do not feel the surface will be up to the standards our racers expect. The indoor track is producing excellent traction and combined with the fresh layout will offer excellent racing all night long. The unfortunate drawback to moving inside is we will not be able to run our nitro program indoors. I know there are some of you who will ask why we made the change so early. That's simple with the amount of rain that is expected tonight we wanted to give our racers plenty of time to prepare their indoor setups and allow the nitro guys an opportunity to run their electric vehicles with out surprises. Lets have some fun indoor's and remember the man who started it all!! See you all Tomorrow!!

Are you going to do a Friday night series like last year?

I am planning to start making it to the Friday night races again probably starting late October and was hoping there would be some kind of a winter series.
