Have had a couple pm's (sorry I don't get on here much for a quick reply) and a couple calls at the shop.
To answer a couple of the common questions
Sunday start times will be 1:30pm with the Hobby Shop and indoor pitting opening at 12 noon.
Yes you are welcome to bring your own pop up awnings and pit close to the track. I do not have power out track side, only indoor.
The 2wd Mod class is for Buggy and Stadium trucks only no Mod SC trucks, we have a class for that. All buggy's much run buggy tires and all stadium trucks must run truck tires. And no we will not allow any 4wd buggy's in this class.
Yes we will have the catering service for food again this season.
The sportsman class is intended as a entry to intermediate level class. I will let you know if you are too good for the class lol. You can run anything in this class, we use this class to get people who don't race or have never raced a place to start and get the idea of competitive RC racing.

Also one other common question about the MN off road series that runs a prolite SCB class.
Anyone who has these is welcome to bring there along for the day. Being we do not have a specific class we will run them in the Mod 2wd class, not the regular full body class of Mod SC.
Looking forward to getting the season started once the weather starts acting like summer LOL.
Going to have a Open practice day in a couples, maybe on a weeknight with free practice, beverage and roller dogs for those willing to lend a hand with a rake and shovel to give the track a little touch up for the opening weekend on the 19th. Will post date when we get a little closer.

Being just after 11 am we have the PA and scoring system set up and rolling and now working on the track to get the rest of the water off and try to smooth-en out the surface a little. Looks like we will be able to get this race started on time. If you want to come out early to lend a hand with a rake it is always appreciated!!!!
See you in a short while.

And just like the rest of the Spring Mother Nature had a part in our opening day of Off Road!!!
First off would like to thank those that helped during the week to get to Sunday and big thanks to Ryan for digging a couple trenches to get the rest of the water off the track.
We got going close to on time knowing we might have to deal with weather in the afternoon. Qualifying was FAST and close in all the classes. Was great to see first time racers Cody and Riley hitting the speedway for their first RC race in Sportsman and even Neil who has run some indoor oval put down a off road truck and had a great day as well. In a super competitive Mod SC class we saw a couple oval regular guys put their trucks at the top of the qualifying list with Trevor grabbing the TQ. BTW the top three guys all had 13.5 motors strapped in!!! All in all a great qualifing effort by all.
With bad weather rolling in we got the mains going as quickly as possible. Mike Craft took home the win in Sportsman, Taylor wne to victory lane in Mod SC, Ryan took checkers in a sick 22 lap run in 1/8 buggy and then we got to the Mod 4x4 class. 3 minutes in to the final race of the day and with Richard leading the pack and ahead of the days TQ driver Booper all heck broke loose and we had to stop the race. Drivers quickly packed up their gear and took shelter. I would like to thank the 5 of so racers who helped me get my tent and scoring equipment down in record time. We then pretty much watch the rain come down and put an end to our day.
We will make up that last main at our next race!!!

Well as usual weather may play a part in today's race. Track took last night rain very well and I expect that to be in good shape as long we don't get alot of rain going forward today. The ground around the track is a little soft so be careful when pulling onto the grass. Forecast calls for a 50-60% of rain all after noon but seam like scattered showers more then anything.
As of right now at 9:45 we are planning on trying to get the race in today. Track will open at 12 noon, racing starting at 1:30pm.
I will update again as we get closer to noon.

After a great 4th of July week we are back to racing this week.
Starting out on Thursday July 11th will be series race #4 of the oval series. Track will be ready around 4pm and racing starts at 6pm.
Sunday is looking to be another great turn out for the Off Road series race #5. Track and Hobby Shop will be open at 12 noon with racing starting at 1:30pm. To help with getting names in the system please be signed in by 1pm. There will also be a quick meeting prior to the start to go over getting transponders and Marshall's back out on the track to avoid long waiting times between races.

Just past the half way mark for the summer off road series, race #6 is this Sunday.
Track opens at 12 noon and racing starts at 1:30pm. It's been hot and will probably be hot again Sunday so we will have the A/C rolling again in the Indoor pitting area.
Thanks to all the efforts to racers with getting transponders in and out quick and prompt marshaling last week. Keep it up!
