When are the racedays? I would like to make it down! I won't be able to race if it's Tuesdays though, already racing at TCHR.

The track meeting took place and we decided to move racing during the week to Wednesdays instead of Tuesday. We also worked on rebuildting the track this weekend. Pictures of the new track (It is not final just yet with a load of dirt coming this Wednesday) can be found here:

The overal layout is done but we will be putting a few more jumps and possibly a woops section.

I'm sure Randy or John will fill you in. We have changed the track so the car sets up may change. I'm thinking tires should be the same. We are getting another load of black dirt to finish off the track. If its anything like last year, the night races had some awsome traction!!!

I have John Schroer's old B4 buggy that is set up for the HZ track. I can either put out a setup sheet or show you the setup in person.

Well it was a crazy opener thats for sure. Cold, Wind, Cloudy, Sunny, Snow, Rain, More snow. We had it all weather wise! We even got to toss some snowballs... Our guys were pretty hard up for some outdoor racing.

Weather was not that good, but the fun we all had made up for it. This will be a day we will all talk about for years to come!!!

Winners were:
Buggy - John Skoff
Truck - Randy Enger
Mini Truck - Smokin Joe Weierke

Thanks to all who came out.. This will be a day we will all talk about for years to come!!!

The track is always open for practice...it's outside, so it'll probably be dry. I think they might have an outlet on the outside of the building, but it might be easier to use DC power.
