The track crew at Homestead RC Raceway have started preparations to freshen up the facility in anticipation of the FORGASS Race next month. The track is being freshly striped and track barriers are being freshly painted.

Tropical Storm Fay got in our way this Sunday and kept us from continuing to paint. Instead we were taking the tent tops off, removing banners/sign, securing the drivers stand, stowing away the garbage cans and picking up any loose items that could turn into missiles in high winds.

Now that Fay has passed the track crew is ready to move forward in getting the facility ready.

The staff at Homestead RC Raceway looks forward to providing all of you a great race track , secure pit area, ample parking, clean rest rooms, but most of all a super weekend of fair and competitive racing that meets all FORGASS standards.

I am sure looking forward to this event now that I am alot more settled here in FL.

You think if I stay at the Holiday Inn Express I would improve my chances of taking on a spot on the podium???

Default tires

hey FORGASS ladies/gents....if you need tires to kick off the season, go to www.twistertiresusa.com to get your tires ordered. I will have a limited supply along with me. To insure that your tire needs are covered email me (twistertire@aol) with your order and I'll see that you get them.

1/8 R = 14 F = 13

1/10 R = 8 F = 8

GT Rally = 20

Ok Everyone,

Its that time of year again. Time to dust off that car. Or in some cases time to test the new one. Our new season starts in a couple of weeks. So go over that check list and be ready for a great race weekend. I am sure that the Homestead crew will put on a great show.

Just a few notes:

Weekend schedule
Saturday: Open Practice from 8am to 9am.
Controlled Practice from 9am to 10:30am.
10:30am Drivers Meeting
3 rounds of Qualifying starting at 11am.

Sunday: Open Practice from 8am to 9am.
1 Round of Qualifying start at 9am.
Lunch break from 11am to noon.
Then mains starting at noon.

All A - Mains 30 minutes
All B - Mains 25 minutes
All other Mains 20 minutes

Registration on Saturday is from 8am to 9:30am,
Sunday from 8am to 8:30am.

Don't forget we will have an exhibition class this year. It will be the GT Rally cars.

Make sure to have your ROAR card when you register. Doug will post Hotel, Food and Friday pracice info.

Good luck to all the races going to Maryland for the 1/8th Nationals.
