Give me about a week. I'll be racing and working on a schedule to race. Can you guys let me know when you race so I can do different days so if anyone wants to go between tracks.

Also let me know how to join the Parma series?

Chris,

PM Roger Holtsclaw (Roho21 at Slotblog) as he is running the Parma FCR Series.

I will warn you that he is going to be very busy this weekend running a booth at the Subway Auto Expo in Knoxville. I'll be joining him in the booth Saturday afternoon through Sunday and will let him know of your interest.

I know most racers will want to run Retro on the Hillclimb but I must say that is a kickass road course!!!

Good-looking tracks. Always good to see a new raceway in the Southeast. "Road trip"!

Good luck, Chris.

I talked to Chris a lot yesterday, he is getting things moving.

Next Saturday (30th) Randal and I are stopping by the track on the way home from Retro South #1. We are going to check out the tracks and facility, and of course I'm going to take a few laps on that flat track with a Can-Am, F1, and a Flexi-NCS GT1!

We are already planning a Saturday to head up and run Flexi-NCS races and maybe a Retro race!

I visited these tracks on the way home on Saturday.

Guys, tell you what: these are the two of the best-looking tracks I've ever seen... they put 95% of all Nats tracks I've run on to shame.

I can't wait to go back. Tons of pit space also...

This weekend is going to be our first race on the Grandstand. We will be racing the Flexi series 4" NASCAR class. So if anyone is free this weekend come on out and join us for the first race.

I personally want to thank Chris for all the hard work to bring slot car racing back to Cookeville. He has put in three top-notch tracks and I finally have a place to play with my toys.

Race #2 in the books. We had a great turn-out.

Glad to see JC and eddie come and race with us and hope to see you all again soon.

All you guys that didn't make it up, you missed a good close race. See everybody next Saturday. After the 4" NASCAR race next week we will be running a built motor GT1 race next week to see how it goes over...
