Congratulations to Zack Rogers, whose track design was selected as the winner for this year's Reedy Truck Race of Champions!

Visit the racing page to view several photos of the new layout, from various angles...and don't forget, we'll have a packed house tomorrow night for the club races, as everyone comes out to try the new layout and prepare for the big race, this weekend. Don't miss it...racing starts at 6:00pm!

REMINDER: There will be no club racing this coming Saturday the 26th, due to the Reedy Truck Race of Champions. Normal club racing will resume the following Saturday...but we hope to see you out there for the big event!

The Reedy Truck Race Approaches!

We're just a little over two weeks away from the 2009 Reedy Truck Race of Champions! This annual event at Hot Rod Hobbies, being held September 25-27, attracts racing talent from all over the country and around the globe, as both electric and nitro drivers attempt to dominate on a track layout designed by one of their own! If you're interested in taking on the challenge of designing a track worthy of this race, don't forget to download the official design template and perhaps win up to three free class entries at the event! We'll be installing the new layout on the 20th and as always, our helpers can expect that Jimmy will reward them handsomely for their efforts, including free club racing entries!

If you haven't registered for the race yet, what are you waiting for? Download the entry form in printable format and send it in. Short Course fans, don't forget that this year's event will feature the ROAR SCT rules...there will be no "open" class.
