As most know, I have usually about zero time for slot car stuff in December and January. Combine that normal routine with unusually good skiing here in the last month, and I have been off the hook busy. Got a full day off today to deal with real life (and also slot cars) So here is the mostly firm 2019 race schedule. I have confirmed with Gene but have not heard back from Dwight. I don't expect any changes from him so here we go.
Highlights.....................
- Two raceway schedule as last year starting at Motown in February (24th), followed by FTH in March.
- Continuing the previously discussed earlier opening (9AM) and earlier racing start (11AM)
- Races at FTH will be subject to track availability. Expect racing on the Kingleman in March.
- Third Sunday of every month with some alterations based on working around holidays.
- Feb: one week later than normal due to president's week.
- April: one week later due to Easter Sunday
- June: one week later due to Fathers day and "American Graffiti" week
- Two 4 race days scheduled for the middle of summer. Each will include a stock car on flat track race.
- Other "switchup" races will be less than prior years with two Can Am/flat track races for summer months.
- IF the trending popularity of Stock Cars on the flat tracks continues, we may shift some races later.
No rule changes for 2019 other than the ongoing body additions from last year and the adoption of all shaft and marking versions of the JK Retro Hawk. I''ll require the motors to be installed with the ID markings facing the bottom of the chassis. This will allow ID of the motor. If the ID markings are not visible, the body will have to be removed for tech. If there are no visible markings apparent, the motor will not run. As in the past, we will not allow the use of weighted guides or aftermarket lightened gears.
