Sounds like fun, I have a sedan and an F1 that I have been running at
Hobby Town in Gilbert. Any tips on setup or just go for it.

If you have time see if Todd can suggest some changes tomorrow as he has run sedan there. I've never seen anyone run the F1 down there; and not sure if anyone there owns one. Best to get there close to noon on Sun so you can get some practice in, carpet is very different than the p-lot here in Gilbert. If you have any questions I'll be out at HT tomorrow for awhile.

I'd like to thank Turd for the awesome job he did prepping the carpet track for us at Competition Hobbies yesterday. We really appreciate the time and effort he puts into getting it ready for us.

Thank you.

So as I sit here getting geared up for the holiday season, I’ve started to think of how the R/C community could give back to people less fortunate. I mean it’s truly a blessing that we get the joy of racing/practicing with our vehicles and our friends on a weekly basis. But what if you never could experience the joy of that one simple action? Imagine children without a single toy to play with during the holiday season. So it got me thinking, what could I do?

On Sunday December 19th Ringleader Racing and Turd Ferguson Racing present the 1st Annual “Haul-In for the Holidays”. The race will be held at Competition Hobbies sponsored by Competition Hobbies and Scottsdale R/C Speedway. The race entry will be 1 new unwrapped toy per entry. If you don’t have a toy for the entry that day, Competition Hobbies has graciously offered to donate 50% of each entry fee. So for the cost of a pair of tires, you can buy a toy to brighten a child’s holiday season. Thanks to Quaid Simek, Mike Shumpert and Keoni Ayhat for jumping on board to help.

I know this is a little short notice for some of you racers, but it was something I thought would be worthwhile. For those of you that are going to be at the KBRL on Saturday 18th, we would love to see you back on Sunday. However you are unable to make it back down, I will have a donation box set up inside the store so you can donate while you are there. Thanks to everyone who will be participating! Depending on what type feedback I get, as far as people who will be attending, we may start a little earlier than the normal 2:00 start time. Please feel free to post on the Competition Hobbies forum thread if you have any questions. Thanks in advance to everyone that has already given me a commitment, look forward to seeing you at the races!

Hey guys ive been trying to read around to find my answer before making a post or thread but havent really been able to find out what ive been looking for.

Where is there to race On Road in the valley? I havent raced in a few years now but am trying to get back into it, I saw SRS no longer has on road.

What places in the valley here provide on road? All i can really find is competion hobbies but im not serious enough to drive 2 hours to race on road.

The only onroad racing anywhere in the Phx area is the Hobbytown in Gilbert, that is outdoor p-lot racing electric only. Thay run on-road and oval racing starts at 11AM Sat. Power is provided you need to bring a chair and table, $5 per class.

Gotcha thank you, Yea I used to run out there 4 or 5 years ago maybe even longer when Denis was still running it then started going to Action hobbies to race carpet and SRS.

Pretty bummed thats the only on road going on in the valley I would have thought it would have a large enough fallowing to be bigger...

You would think so in a city this size but not so and I dont see much of any chance that will change anytime soon. Dennis still runs the races but the store has a new owner now; come on out racing is still fun at HT.
