Your Report?
 

Apparently, you had a chance to visit one of the most under-rated permanent tracks in Southern California. why don't you tell us about your visit with the Roadrunners.

I have driven past 4 tracks for over 3 years to race at this track, i'm not a stranger but I would like to hear what you thought about the track and the race.

do you guys race regularly ? i live close by ( westlake village ) and might be intersted to attend some of your races..

Re: Your Report?
 

I raced there back in the 90's
All I can say is it hasn't changed much & thats a good thing.
Apparently they resurfaced it, the grip is good with out any spray.

It sure brought back some cool memories negotiating the "Pump House" turn again :cool:

Run, don't walk to this track 2nd & 4th Sundays every month, you won't regret it.

Great Idea....
 

Great idea to start a thread for this track.

Was there a race there today? (4/27) If so, does any know the results for expert stock and expert mod sedan?

Is there a e-mail list to get on for info on the racing?

Also, what classes are normally ran?

I checked out the website but there does not seem to be much going on there so maybe this will be good place to share info on the track and racing there.

Re: Great Idea....
 

Fred & myself in expert stock, close race too :nod:
CUDA on pole, TC3 taking the win, B Ruff was also going quick until his XXXs became one with a barrier of some sort. :blush:

A great relaxed day at the track. :tire: :tire: :tire:

Check the link to the club in previous post for more info.

Guys, I will be assuming webmaster duties for the club. I will post our club race results on this forumn and on the club site (with other important information). Here are the results for the race on 4/27. Enjoy...

CHANGE OF CLUB RACE DATE(S) for May 2003
 

Greetings All,

Due to "Mother's Day" and the "Reedy TC Race" in May we have pushed back our normal 2nd Sunday club to the 3rd Sunday of the month. So, no club race on Sunday May 11th, we will hold the race on Sunday May 18th instead. There will be a club race on May 25th as scheduled, however several of us are participants in the Reedy TC race so we will not be there with you. We are planning to have our backup race director in place to preside over the club race. If you have any questions feel free to email me. Thanks...

Up to date info
 

Fred,

Thats great you are going to take the time to post the info and results.

I think that having the info and results posted here for everyone to see might draw some attention to the track and the club racing that goes on there.

I look forward to getting down there for a club race soon.

Orrin

Orrin I'm sorry I didn't get back to you I've been busy here at work the last two days. My e-mail address is at work and I'm not at work on Saturdays;) I'll put you on my e-mail list for the track. If anyone else wants to get on my mail list just PM me your e-mail addy and I'll put you on it. I'll call Fred Doring about running the races on May 25th and let you guys know what he says
:p

No Problem
 

Hey Josh,
No problem, I would have liked to get down there but ended up racing up here anyways. It looks like you guys are mixing the schedule up this month and the 18th is a off weekend up here so I am going to try to get down there. Maybe see you then. Oh, and please do put me on the e-mail list, Thanks

This forum shreds!!!!!!!

Sincerly
Ex roadie Puke

P.S. Thanks Fred for finding my Fox sweatshirt I owe you one!!!

anybody has latest pics on the off road track.....are there races this coming Sunday?

hey, you are running 1/8 buggy too ? well, the offroad track is really really nice i usually go there on saturday morning for practice..i have been the only person running 1/8 there if you can come will be great !

yeah....me and my brother.....if KZ Speedway runs on road on Sunday, we'll be there Sunday morning. We usually run at KZ.

i have been to KZ a couple of times, personally i think their onroad track is overkill for my 1/10..it's more like a 1/5 track. just too big for me to feel the speed :tire: well, their offroad track is nice but still a little too big don't you think so ? have you tried hotrod hobbies ? their offraod track is topnotch , perfect size and well prepared..camarillo is great for prctice ,hey it's free what do you expect :D :D

I race 1/8 on road thats why I like KZ....I like there off road track too because how its designed.....I like fast layouts. ...but Camarillo's not bad too......especially it's free.

On-road Racing this Sunday the 18th Racing starts at 10:00
Josh:D

Cool! Hope I can make it! See ya out there.

JK, I hope I'[m able to make it also, I will be gone the weekend after racing at the Reedy Race, If I don't see ya at Camarillo make sure you come down on Sunday for the Reedy Mains.

Good racing
 

Hey guys,

Good racing on sunday, I am glad I made the trip down there.

Fred, your just to fast:sneaky: Keep it up, Its great to have someone to strive to be as good as. Good luck and have fun at the Reedy race.

Josh, great job once again on a well run race, It is always a pleasure to race there with you.

Chadwick, Great run, It was real clean racing and that makes it alot of fun.

See you guys next time I have a chance to get down there.

Orrin

hey BC, have you considered bringing back the good old night race to the Valley ? kind of miss it , good old days man!

Not too many newbies. Newbies are welcome though. Ignore Bending Corners, hes talking about the expert drivers.

No, The local hobby shop is "Hobby Poeple" they carry alot of Associated stuff so most of the cars at our track are TC3s' and NTC3s'. It's easy to get parts.
