Nice Layout!
One of these days when I go back to visit Danbury I'll have to stop in and run the track.

Trophy race this weekend on the 21st, the Summer Sizzler, $25 first class, $15 each additional class. Ifmar qualifying, plaques for the top three, etc. Top racers from Long Island Raceway and RC Excitement will make for a good show in the expert classes.

Yeah the whole day ran great! Ralph was awesome at announcing and kept a fantastic pace and got us out before 10, Rich and the others helped sweep the track and kept it moist for perfect traction. Great racing action in the mains. It was a really good day.

What kinds of cars race there? Looks like a great place. Any chance that nitro will ever be run there? That would really be great as nitro is my main interest.

Turn-out has been good, the 4wd class is growing every week!
We race 1/10 electric off-road trucks, buggies and 4wd's. No chance of running nitro inside - too much noise, too much exhaust, too much eye irritaion, too many people getting sick.[:'(] RC Excitement in Fitchburg, Ma. holds an occasional indoor nitro race, check them out.

Not yet, but I plan to be up some time this week. I've been swamped at work. Do you have any RC10 kits in stock?

Winter Slash Bash presented by RC Driver Magazine....
One lucky participant is going to get a brand new Traxxas Slash!
Castle Creations has also shipped some goodies!
Parma is donating some of their Slash bodies for door prizes!
MaxAmps is sending battery packs to give away!
Slash Bash 09
Host: RCHR
Sponsors: RC Driver Magazine, Traxxas, Castle Creations, MaxAmps.
Date/ Time: March 29th.
2 classes: Spec Slash and Open SC.
Rules
Spec- Slash must remain stock and you can only use tuning parts included in the kit such as preload spacers and pinion. You can swap out the radio and receiver. Batteries were originally going to be 6-cell matched and a 20C Lipo, but it sounds like most racers want to run a 30C so we may have to tweak this rule depending on what everyone wants to run once we are all there at the race. Custom painted bodies are allowed.
Open SC- Any mods to your Slash is acceptable, open motor, open battery. Must use SC type tires and SC body any brands. If someone somehow has an SC10, it would run in this class only.
Last Rule- Have fun!

I set up a wireless internet router so you guys can use laptops in the pits, see me at the track for setup information.
Also I set up a computer trackside with the latest Tekin and Castlelink software for speed control tuning. Handy for looking up speed control manuals on the internet too.
Next I'm working on a Tv, Vcr, Dvd setup for the kiddies to be distracted by over at the couch...

RE: Radio Control Hobbies & Raceway (RCHR), Waterbury, CT.
MAY 29TH (FRIDAY) I WILL HOLD A 1/10TH 2WD NITRO TRUCK TEST RACE INDOORS.
RC10GT's, XXX-NT's - 1/10th only, no 4wd's, no 1/8th scales, no CRT.5's (yet), no monster truck (T-maxx/Revo).
We have been testing a few trucks on the track and it hasn't been that bad, so I want to give it a try. We might not even get enough guys to run an actual race, so it may just be a nitro practice night.

In RCHR news...
On Saturday a reporter from the Waterbury Republican newspaper will be stopping by around 3pm to do an article on our business, so hoping to get some good turn out to look good for the paper.
Weather.com says rain till Friday, all the more reason to come race indoors.
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend, especially the enlisted and veterans.
