We had a very good day of racing with wily veterans and some outstanding young drivers. The racing in the VTA and Tamiya Mini Classes was great with close exciting racing. Our young drivers, Austin Pratt, Dylan Kuc and Williamn Henning did a great job in the off road and classes. The drivers enjoyed the door prizes. Everyone pitched in to help tear down the track. We appreciate the help of Austin, Dylan, Jeff, Mark, and Ken.:banana:

The racing today was excellent. Ken J. and Nik P. had great battles in the TC class. John R. drove extremely well in the Traxxas Rally class, but was tested throughout the day by Austin P. and Gary P. Austin schooled Gary P. and MD in the Off Road class with his Revo. John R. had the dominate car in the Tamiya Mini class. Thanks goes out to Nik P., Mark, Erwin, Clarence and Jose who came out today. Thanks to Austin's parents who helped marshal today. Thanks to Austin for helping clean up in the rain. Thanks to Gary P. for staying until the end to help clean up. Special thanks to John R. for coming early and staying late to help! We got all of our races in except the last minute of the Tamiya Mini Main. It helps sometimes to hold your races in a church parking lot. The church really appreciates the funds raised through racing. Smile

We had our best turnout of 2011. It was a great day of racing with perfect weather. We started at 11:30AM and racing was over by 3:10 PM. We ran two heats and a main with six minute heats. Thanks to Dave, Paul, and Matt for racing with us for the first time. The church appreciates the money we raised. Dylan and Austin schooled some of us old guys and very old guys. Thanks to John for coming early and helping to setup and staying late to pick up race after race! Thanks to Gerry for coming out again and staying to help clean up. It's greatly appreciated! Daniella and Elizabeth did a great job in the Novice Class. Thanks for bringing your Dad along.

We've decided to postpone the start of racing in Winfield until June. With my Mom making four trips to the hospital down state in the last couple of months, we're going to wait and see if her situation stabilizes.
