The SpeedZone is proud to announce the First Annual Jay Kisling Memorial Race on Saturday, August 29, 2015.
 
We will be running F1 and a wedge body LMP class. These are classes that Jay ran in his career of slot car racing; these were his favorite classes.
 
All the day's racing will be on the Engleman for this event. The F1 will be running IRRA^® rules and the rules for the wedge LMP class will be announced soon. We do have the wedge bodies in stock already; they can be purchased from the store.

So save the date and I will have rest of the info in a week or two.

Thank you and see you there.

[Tom Eatherly]

Good on you, guys! Very nice indeed. From SoCal, I hope it's a fantastic event.

[Matt Sheldon]

I like the class format and why!

[JerseyJohn]

These were Jay's favorite classes to race.

[Cap Henry]

Are you guys interested in race prizes? I'll donate a free Retro chassis in honor of Jay.

[Tim Neja]

Great idea!! So sad to be without Jay – but a memorial race will do him proud!! Enjoy!!

[Rapid Rick]

This is one more reason why I need to visit in August. I hope I can make this event...

Is there qualifying for LMP?

[NJ SpeedZone]

Yes, there will be qualifying for LMP, too.

[John Streisguth]

Does anyone have a rolling chassis I could borrow for the wedge LMP class? I can supply a motor tires, gears, etc. I dont have any stamped steel chassis. 

[NJ SpeedZone]

OK, racers, it is just under two weeks until the race.

 

Mike Iles told me that there is gonna be a free lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill supplied by Mac. So I need to get a roll call of who will be definitely attending so we know aboit how much food to get.

 

I also want to give a shout out to Cap Henry as he will sponsor a Retro chassis of choice to the winner of the F1 race. So let us know if you are coming to this Memorial Race and lets give thanks to Cap and Mac for their contributions.

 

Thank you.

[S.O. Watt]

Here's a racer heading back to do battle.

 

[DGRacer]

Add two skunks!

[DGRacer]

Clearance for F1?

[A. J. Hoyt]

Say, that is a fine-looking slot car body! That would be fun with a Pro Slot FK or even a Contender/Outlaw type motor! Quite a challenge to drive!
 
Looks like a fun event!
