Our next event will be Saturday May 21st. 7:00PM at Page raceway, built, owned and operated by Garold Page. It is located at 362 Shady Lane, Orange City, Fl. It is a 90' four lane road course built for 1/24th scale cars. We will be running the 4.5" FCR chassis with any style stock car/truck body. Standard Parma 16D motors, 1/8" axles, any brand of foam tires. Minimum 1/16" clearance. Each racer will run four 10 minute heats. If there are more than four racers there will be sitouts accordingly.

Late report; We had our first race of the year at Page Raceway on May 21st. We had a new racer show up by the name of Joerg. He is primarily a 1/32 racer like me and like me he enjoys running 1/24th scale FCRs and Flexis. I was the nights winner with 114 laps and Rick Turner was second only one lap back. Garold's son took a picture of the winner and his car using his smartphone but somewhere between his phone and my computer it got lost. I'll try to do better with the camera work in the future.

Our next race is this Saturday 7:00PM at DeBary Glen.

Bob, is that the shortened version of your track?

[Modlerbob]

Garold's track is larger than mine and it has lane spacing wide enough for 1/24th scale cars. It is a windey road course with one 15 ft. long straight and several other short straights, total length is around 90 ft. . It resembles a pretzel. Very fun to drive FCRs and Flexi's.

[padirtfan]

It looks like a fun track. A nice mix of long straights and curves.

[Modlerbob]

This week one race will have a $5.00 entry fee. Winner takes the whole pot if three or less racers. Four or more will be split 75/25 between the winner and runner up.

[Modlerbob]

No race last Saturday. We will try again Sunday June 18th at Garold's place.

Geez Bob, on your home track as well. How very rude of the other three to place ahead of you. You needed to scrutineer them out of the placings. :D
