Default HZR's Pizza & Practice nights!

Warm-up Wednesdays - Pizza & Practice nights!!!!

When: May 18th and May 25th
Time: 6:00pm to 8:30pm
Where: Hobby Zone - Eagan MN

To get ready for HZR's Wednesday Night racing program we will be holding two practice nights. Wed May 18th and Wed May 25th.
We will race prep the track and have some test & tune track time and most likely lots of bench racing in the pits. We will charge a $5 entree fee that will be used to buy Pizza for the whole crew! (Bring your own soft drinks)

Stop in for some food and fun!

Ifmar pins might work once the track gets packed a bit more...Ifmar studs are probably the best choice now. I'm not racing this weekend, but I'll be trying out some Ifmar pins on Wednesday night, to see if they're an option yet.

I'm thinking the Ifmar pins might be coming into play now!! With all the rain and the usage of the power tamper the track is pretty solid now. Was nice a smooth also. Josh had his Mini-T running around the track after the races were over. Looked pretty smooth!!

We had a good Sunday of racing even with the cold and strong winds. I know it has to warm up some day!!! Lets work on a little globel warming to get things going!!!

The scary thing is. It was one degree warmer than usual for the past 30 days!

Do you ever ask yourself why you stay here

It looks like Pro-Line Holeshots is the ticket now. The track is packed down pretty good now and becomes dusty when dry.

My fastest run of the day was with R3 Square Fuzzie rears and R3Evil Twin fronts on the buggy. When the track got dry, the car felt even more dialed, but running a 12x2 burned up the tires pretty good. Maybe 2 weeks worth of running is all I'll get out of them in dry conditions.

I'm gonna try some holeshots on the rear this weekend, and see how they work...I definitely liked the ET's in the front though.

This years track will take more water then last years. We will get it dialed before long... Wed night racing is going to be great traction wise!!

Nothing better then outdoor night racing on dirt!!!!

Mark, Thanks for letting me drive your truck in a heat last night. It was fun!Truck worked great... My driving did not do the truck any justice. The HZR track is a tight little bull ring that's for sure. You will always be racing someone so not much time to relax...

Wednesday night 3 race mini series 06/15, 06/22, and 06/29. All three nights count towards points. Awards for the top 5 overall in the series in each class.
