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.

COME OUT AND JOIN US FOR A GREAT DAY OF RACING!

[MD6]

Come out tomorrow for great racing!

[MD6]

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.

[KeiCar]

I would love to see this in person. I'm just getting back into playing with a RC car (as an adult, last I had one I was a teen or younger!).

Quick Q: do they run gas / nitro / electric at the same time?

Do the brushless really give the nitro cars a run for their money? I couldn't image years back of any electric pushing out more power then a nitro powered engine but boy things have changed. t have a brushless on my 1/18th and as small as it is the damn motor is POWERFUL!

[MD6]

At Winfield we only run electric because of the neighborhood around the church. Brushless is equally as fast as nitro if not faster. At most tracks they try to run them separately. It's usually a problem getting enough nitro cars to have a separate class. So, they sometimes run them together. Dirt tracks still have enough nitro cars. But, the price of fuel is one of the big reasons nitro has slipped in popularity and of course tuning.

[MD6]

Unfortunately, we are canceling the races in Winfield this summer. I was again with my Mom for three days this week. Her problems are such that I could be called down there any time. It's unpredictable. I don't want to make plans for race and then suddenly have to cancel. We are sorry to disappoint the people that race with us and the church for their fundraising.

[elizasteave]

No problem at all MD6. Parents should always be given the first priority, because it is due to them that we are in this world and as far as event is concerned, it can be organized at any time. Wishing her a fast recovery.
