Thanks for getting the points up so fast, Bill.

Just a reminder all Oshkosh tracks are still going strong, with Dirt Oval racing tonight and Road Course Carpet racing tomorrow.

We are almost to our half way point in the 2011 first season points race, and throw outs will be factored in this week for all tracks, so come on down and support Scott and Willy with their series.

Bill

Its almost saturday! I'm getting a little nervous, the competition is STRONG. Cant wait!

SATURDAY IS HERE!!! I'm really looking forward to racing today. The Pede has a new power system due to the speedo I've been using the last 8 years pooped out after racing last week. Hopefully I can get it all hooked up? Also a few minor changes to the Sedan (and my driving) could get me running with Jeff! We'll see what happens with Vintage with Matt being on his game it will definately be tough! I'll see you all later I gotta go pack up the plywoog garage and head out.

Vaughn

So , what's up guys? I was thinking about racing on the carpet tomorrow instead of the dirt sun.. That way I can get Josh his car. Anyone else coming? Any takers on the long distance free entry?

Vaughn

I'm definately coming up tomorrow Vaughn. Josh is definately pumped about picking up his new car, last time I heard from him, he plans on racing saturday. I'm debating racing Sunday as well, as much as I'd love to race at the new off road track in Appleton, for me thats gonna be really early to get up on a Sunday (i'm not exactly a church-goer), and I would need to borrow the electronics from my sedan to run my SC truck.

Poor excuses I know, but I just cant get enough of that carpet. He he.

Jeff

And should we run inverted starting order in the mains again? It sure was fun last time....

Vaughn and Jeff - watch out and better be fast - I hear that there's a certain purple and green sedan lookin' to lay some stripes on a white rebel car!! - Greg

HA HA !! I knew you guys couldn't spend a week away from the rug..

Points and results are up for Oshkosh track nights (even Saturdays, thank you Willy).

Next week, we put in the second throw out night!!

Bill

Hey Scott & Rob and others who have come down to the mighty Victory Hobbies from the "speed capital" of the world - Revolution Raceway to run SCs on our oval...It looks like the trend of putting 1/8 scale bodies on Traxxas/HPI SC cars is about to take off. We (Like literally - Micah, Joshua and me) will soon have THREE of them and I know of at least two to three others who have bought bodies and are preparing them for battle on our famed tri-oval! Come on up some Saturday and race with us with your SC cars - the competition should be getting even better.

Not to mention the GREAT LOSI LEGION sprintcars we still have up here.

Not able to come race with you all just yet. Madeline and I will be in Oshkosh Friday 3/4 but we are going to see SKILLETT (YES!) Am I corrupting Madeline? Nope!

Greetings everyone,

I’ve decided to take the liberty of writing a race report to cover the racing action from Saturday at Revolution Raceway. A new jump track layout welcomed racers, incorporating both a crossover and the infamous “wall ride” banked corner in addition to the normal jumps, and it seemed to be well received by racers and spectators alike.

Starting with Stock Slash, Alex and Mike N ran a closely contested race resulting in less than one second separation at the finish between the two, and new racer Eric B rounding out the top 3 for the class.

Stock Short Course was hotly contested as usual, with resident Hobbytown guru Jess S leading the race from flag to flag on brushed motor power after a restart due to a big turn 1 crash. RPM racing’s Wayne took 2nd place and Mark B rounded out the top 3 on the day.

Gearbox racing put on a great show, with RPM racing’s Wayne taking the win by less than 0.4 seconds over RPM Rich. Honorable mention goes to Evan B, as a young driver in a difficult open wheel class, he is getting faster and driving smoother every week.

Stampede racing saw Vaughn take TQ but RPM Rich take the win today, with Vaughn coming home 2nd and Katlyn B getting faster each week to bring home 3rd place points.

With the jumps set to the side, the road course classes were clear to turn up the heat and put some rubber down. Vintage Trans Am wasn’t raced this week due to a low car count, but I predict a fully packed A main next week as regular racers return and resident front wheel drive burnout king Josh S takes on the challenge of Trans Am racing.

Our Mini Cup class had 7 racers on the roster this week, and had Davin F take TQ in his BMW 2002, and put on a great race until one of his front wheels decided to exit stage left. This opened the door for Josh S in his front wheel drive Honda to slip by for the lead. He stayed on point until missing his turn in mark at the hairpin, allowing yours truly to zip inside and sneak by for the win. Corey B took 3rd place in his Renault A110.

Stock Sedan ran at a furious pace this week. Both Vaughn and Davin put the HEAT on in qualifying to relegate me back to a 3rd place starting position, but at the end of the race the order was Jeff, Davin, then Vaughn, with Davin & Vaughn finishing less than 0.5 seconds apart. Willy still owned fast lap of the day, set during a qualifying round.

Thanks everyone for attending! Thanks Willy for announcing & race director duties, and remember 3 or more cars make a class so bring your F1 cars! We have 2 on a regular basis and 2 more would be awesome.
Thanks!
Jeff – the guy that doesn’t drive an Xray.

Awesome report Jeff

Thanks Bob, I just wanted to give a little something back to the club, I figured its something the racers may enjoy.

I think you missed your calling jeff... you got some mad skills in journalism
