Just a reminder to all those that have and will qualify for the Championship Race in Dec. The car you run in the Dec Championship race must have run at least once during the season in the class that it is entered.
You will not be allowed to build a new car and run it in the Championship Race, so if you are wanting to build a new car it must run in the Nov race if you want to run it in the Dec race.
Special Dec Class for everyone!
We will be having a special class for Dec race. This special race will be just for fun, no points, trophies, or championship title for this special class. We will be racing the 2012 Pure Stock class at the Dec championship race. This is open to all racers! The rules for the 2012 Pure Stock Class will be posted here soon.
Here is your chance to have fun and get a jump on the next season!

What is the date the cars need to be mailed in by? Are any of you available next week for a phone call to explain the rules since they are a little different from the races we run? I want to make sure I understand them. I have never proxy raced but I think it sounds like a lot of fun. I have hit the end of my knowledge for the local races but have a desire to learn more and see if I can make my cars go faster.

The car would have to be received by me on or before Dec 16th. The special Pure Stock race is for Dec., the class will run each month next year. Most people are able to mail on the Tuesday before the race and have the car make it in time. I have sent you a PM with my contact info if you would like to call me.

When I took over for Lucky, I spoke with our admins and mods. We decided that our goal was to have 50 members logging in each day and have 100 cars racing each month. We believe this goal is obtainable and we certainly are on our way to that.
