Chad423 was nice enough to donate not one, but TWO  trackside pit caddys. They're a really nice design since they are made to hang on the side of the track.  3D printing is amazing!

Memorial day weekend update: we have raised $640 thus far.  With 160 tickets sold, the odds are very good! Of course we hope many tickets will be sold at the race, but the odds are better than the lottery   :)

I'm sure John's had a long weekend and posting the winners is not a priority. I know when I ran the Ohio Valley Retro series getting the results posted that day was the last thing I worried about, I was wore out. I'm sure John's wore out too. If it took him a week to get them posted I'd understand, it's a lot of work doing big races like this.

Uh, yes, I will be posting at least the winners that need to be mailed. I wasn't able to write down every single winning ticket.  I'm not as tech-savvy as some people are and after staying to watch the A main to see who would become the new "Don", I had nearly  3 hour ride home...just winding down now before I head to bed.

  Big Thanks to John for running the raffle it is extremely hard work and a massive time consumer. Thanks to Ralph Thorne of RTR for suppling the controller bag.

I changed the body out and tried the Wounded Warrior car on the track yesterday.  The only adjustment I made was adding 020 in spacers for ride height.  The car is amazing smooth and quiet.  The Track record on the 100 foot Reverse Orange is 3.300 set by Willy Custer.  I was in the 3.3's with the car once it got heat in the tires.  My best lap was 3.330.  Thanks to Tony P. for a great build, Noose for the prep and button up work on the car.  Johnny VW for putting the raffle together and all the others that donated for a worthy cause.
