Thanks for your time everyone! Hopefully you guys can make it out and support a great cause and having fun while doing it!

Sounds cool. Timing system going to be used?

Sounds like a good time....should be able to make it with the new VTA.

Eric from The Track at Harbor Hobbies has been gracious enough to loan us not only his driver stand, but also his AMB timing system for the day.

We've dropped the entry fee down to $25 for your first class, $15 for additional classes. The Rookie class has also dropped to $15.

Definitely will be there with my kids....awesome.

Nice. It's a great cause, but I did think the $40 was steep.


I will do my best to attend. Most likely I will be racing as one of Howard's kids so he's covering my entry.

Sounds like fun, I'm in for touring car.

Hey everyone! Just updated the address to 1200 N. Milwaukee Ave. The race will now take place at Abt Electronics. Mr Abt is gracious enough to dedicate a decent portion of the stores parking lot for the event! He has also donated a number of gifts for class winners!

Great way to promote the hobby, with track now in major retailer parking lot. Two Weirs probably should be able to attend. USGT, VTA x2, 17.5.

Roll call!

Is the time 10AM - 6PM?

That is correct 10am to 6pm

Why not have a sct on road class to help raise more money? Another class most people have a sct laying around. Just a thought

Hey guys! Thanks for all the positive feedback!

We did consider having SCT as a class, but wanted to keep with the on-road theme. BUT if any novice racers shows up with an SCT, it would be legal for the Rookie class. The more variety, the better!

We just finalized an awesome design for custom trophies for the top three finishers in all the A mains, also for the concourse winners! We will announce additional prizes for the race and raffle winners closer to the event!

HPI will be helping us create a "Donate and Race" track, where for a small donation of any denomination, kids could race HPI Sprint 2's on a small oval track.

Also our friends at Alloy Physical Care will try to have a message therapist on hand offering free massages!

Hopefully everyone can make it out! Thanks again everyone!
