Pablo, Had a great race June 4 with John, Greg and company. Greg reset the bar, he's quit a racer. I am sure he will be loaded for bear the next time!

Alan,

Sorry to hear you will not be racing on the 2nd. I've been building and testing to try to beat you and you wont be there! Oh well. I'll be announcing a race date down here soon. Just need to figure one out so we can have 10-12 racers.

Five of us from S.C.C.S.A. went up to the Dungeon to race on the 2nd of July. Great racing as the first time. A couple less entries but still some great racing. I heard a rumor there may be a race report coming. Just a rumor, I'm sure.
We are looking at having a race on the Nightmare after the next Dungeon race. I'm thinking maybe the 21st of August but that may change. Anyone interested in coming give me some feedback on dates so we can get this going. 10-12 racers would be great but we can have a great race with just 8 or 9.

Here is the report on the 2 July Dungeon race......it was posted 7 July .
The title said "LA" instead of "AL" so some might have missed it.

When I saw the "LA" I thought it meant lower-Alabama & read the article anyway.

Robertsdale, AL is about 20 miles (as the crow flies) east-southeast of Mobile, AL.

Robertsdale is a little redneck town about a half an hours drive north from Gulf Shores on Hwy 59. I moved here in 2007 to look after my aging parents. I was racing in the Los Angeles area and was really concerned I'd have to drive 5 or 6 hours to race. About 4 monts after I arrived a raceway opened in Theodore. It was about 45 minutes from home so I started making the drive to race on their Dadd's King. I ran into the guys from Mobile I had met when visiting in 1999. That track lasted almost three years and then after being bought by a clueless new owner closed in November 2010.
I made the decision to convert my unattached garage from storage into a small raceway.
Gary Gerding built me a custom 80' roadcourse and we are off and running. I really try to do everything as close to first class as I can afford to. Our clubmembers have been a huge help and I think we are off to a great start. I'd say we are about halfway between Pensacola and Mobile. Come stay at the gulf, play in the water all day and come to a slotcar race in the evening. See you soon!

Congrats on your new club. Boss track!

Our tentative race date on August 21st is solid. We have six coming down from the Pratville area and our locals.
I'm really bummed Paul Wolcott can't make it due to work as Paul has been a huge part of getting this club off the ground.
We will open at 7:00am Sunday the 21st. First tech at 10:00am. We will also be open Saturday night from 6:30 to 11:00pm for practice and tuning. Anyone coming in Saturday night is welcome to come by and get a few laps in.
1st race will be IRRA Flexi GT followed by Dungeon GTP/Hawk-Falcon.
Will post more tonight!

Just shut down for the night. Good turnout. Had two JK Cup Modified races. They are great on the track and look incredible going around. The open wheels on narrow lane spacing makes it interesting. Passing becomes an art form. We are looking forward to next Saturday night and the races on Sunday. Hope to see you all there!

Juat about done with the preparations for Saturday night/Sunday. Got some extra chairs and a six foot table so we can now pit up to 14 comfortably. The porta pottie will be delivered today. I'll clean & spray glue the track tonight.
Then it's just clear off the pit spaces, sweep the floor and we are good to go.
