Sportsman race fee 10 dollars. Use of house transponders free of charge. You'll want to pack an extension cord to tie into our power. Also think about making your own shade. Plans are for the track to be ready at 10am with racing at Noon. We'll determine specific classes depending on who shows up. But you can expect these for now: Sportsman. Race what you brung. Meant as class for newer racers and those who haven't raced in a long while. If your skills are way beyond the pack we reserve the right to ask for you to move to another class. Vintage Trans Am.

We're racing electric this year but if he wants to stop on out before we begin a race day on a Sunday he can run on the track. If he's interested in racing it we can fill him in on where nitro racing happens near you guys. We also know where hordes of folks gather late at night on Fridays to bash and drag. He'd have a fun time and get a bunch of info and might even get the bug to want to join us. Come with him and check it out too. Did he get it at Al's or LaGrange hobbyshop?

I'm busy on Sundays with track management. I race classes that are low maintenance so I can attend to the needs of the venue. Other racers who attend have the time in the pits and can take that guys car, break it down, tear it apart and pull it back together again in a jiffy. They enjoy wrenching on other people's stuff. I don't on Sundays. Stop by and bring the fruit of your loins with you.

We'll have some bugs and I might be a little preoccupied but it should be a great day out. Bring some lawn chairs. 7719 W. Lawrence.
