Race Update
We had a small turnout of dedicated racers on Sunday. We hadn't raced since May so it was not surprizing. It was a great day weather wise and the track surface produced some good numbers. Dan made the best passes I have ever seen with his cars. Warren is continuing to upgrade batteries and motors with good result. We got to experiment some at a relaxed pace. We had several interested visitors who have signed up. We had a few of the original NCDA/BADRC racers make an appearance, like Kenny Hall and Sylvestor Grisby.
After the race we all went over to the new www.NorCalhobbies.com store and track (about a mile away) to look at the potential site of our new drag strip. It was nice to see a LHS with GMS cars, bodies and RTR cars in the display cases. Word is they have sold quite a few nitro and electric Grand Motor Sports cars at a good clip and there is allot of buzz about the new drag strip coming.
Maybe we can get in another day of racing/T&T before the next scheduled race Sept. 17th if racers are interested, let myself or Dan know.
We've been invited to setup a display/demo at the last Hot Rod Street Show here in Rodeo, CA, Friday, August 25th starting about 4 pm. Safeway store on Parker ave..
Thanks to Frank for leaving AC power out for us and checking in to say Hi. It sure is nice not running generators.
Dan will be posting some media of yesterdays event.
