Please mark your calendars for  a BBQ and open track day at TooBad Motorplex in Fairview on Saturday August 24th. For those of you who have not had a chance to visit this would be an excellent opportunity as I will have our home and track open ALL day!

I have been asked by some racers to have a "build day" like we did in the early days of NASTE. So from 8:00am until 11:30am I will have tables set up with soldering equipment and jigs to facilitate chassis building. In addition I have available for use a drill press, belt & disc sander, and a metal cutting bandsaw. If you're interested in chassis building just bring your parts including motor, wheels, axles, guide, motor mount etc., and some brass and steel rod. If you're unsure what you might need just shoot me an email.

At 11:30am I will start the BBQ to cook up some hamburgers and hot dogs. I will have pop available, but feel free to bring your own drinks if you prefer.

The track will be open for play or whatever from 8:00am until whenever the last person leaves (or I need to go to bed, which would be by midnight - I may be retar'd, but I still need to get up sometime the next day!).

If you have not yet visited my track, it is a 3 lane routed MDF track with copper tape and a lap length of 84 feet. The power supply is variable, and driver's stations use alligator clips.

Our pond fish will probably be out frolicking and searching for food, and available for viewing, but please NO FISHING (or swimming!).

I am hoping to see some new faces and also some of my old slot car buddies I have not seen in awhile. Us old guys always talk about getting together, well here's our chance!

You're welcome Rico, thanks for making it over!

Your handicap only applies to that particular car in it's winning configuration. If you de-tune or make significant changes to the car the handicap would not apply.  Only proven dominant car & driver combinations are assessed a handicap.

You can be proud you have achieved the handicap status!  You are in an elite group!

Odd Thursday on August first at TooBad Motorplex. We had ten racers in the mix, with four of them being under the age of eighteen. It was a fun night of racing, crashing, and a little nerfing. It was good to see Len and Sue Gillean back in the garage, as well as Greg "Greenman" Petrolati back with a controller in his hand! Gary "Goose" Gossett brought out a fast Slot.It GT40 for the GT Class, and loaned my granddaughter Cailin a Ninco Jaguar to race in the Classic Sports Car Class (thanks Goose!). Speaking of my granddaughter, she made her grandpa proud by completing six three minute heat races (in two different classes) with less than one de-slot per heat! The entire Flood family was in attendance and all of them raced well. Russell, Todd, and Thomas "The Chisel" duked it out and all finished within just a lap or two of each other. But at the end of the night it was Rico Locati with a clean sweep, winning both classes! ............HAMMER - We missed you !!!!!!

Here's the way it went:

Classic Sports Car Class:

1st Rico Locati 49 laps
2nd Bill Bostic 48
3rd Terry Abbott 45
4th Greg Petrolati 45
5th Gary "Goose" Gossett 45
6th Tracy Flood 45
7th Russel Flood 43
8th Todd Flood 42
9th Thomas "The Chisel" Flood 39
10th Cailin Dunbar 33

GT Class:

1st Rico Locati 51 laps
2nd Bill Bostic 51
3rd Terry Abbott 51
4th Gary "Goose" Gossett 50
5th Greg "Greenman" Petrolati 49
6th Tracy Flood 49
7th Russell Flood 45
8th Todd Flood 43
9th Thomas Flood 41
10th Cailin Dunbar 37

Odd Thursday July 11, 2013.

Terry Abbott took the win in the Classic Sports car Class with his Ninco Corvette. Just for the record there was some controversy over a turn marshaling incident that may have benefited Terry, but not so much for Dorothy who scored the second place finish (they still went home together, so I think they worked it out). Dorothy finished second to Terry by less than two feet! Also noteworthy was the -2 lap handicap Bryan Trachsel carried and still finished fifth!

In the GT Class it was Rico Locati's night. Rico finished a solid three laps ahead of second place!

After the GT Class race we ran an unofficial F1/Indy Class race to set a baseline for car development. The cars were able to complete 57 to 59 laps in three minute heats running at 12 volts. The cars raced were pretty much stock, with only minor modifications and tire changes.

Lastly to round out the evening, Chris Kouba brought out his 1/24 BRM Porsche 962s for another round of IROC racing. We ran the BRMs at 9.6 volts for three minute heats. Bryan Trachsel took the win completing 57 laps. Bryan Trachsel and Bryan Dickerson both posted sub-nine second laps!

Thanks to all that made it out!

Here's the results:

Classic Sports Car Class:

1st Terry Abbott 48 laps
2nd Dorothy Abbott 48
3rd Rico Locati 47
4th Bill Bostic 47
5th Bryan Trachsel 47 (w/ -2 lap handicap assessed).
6th Bryan Dickerson 47
7th Chris Kouba 47
8th Monte Saager 46
9th Dennis Hart 43
10th Victoria Saager 35

GT Class:

1st Rico Locati 57 laps
2nd Bryan Trachsel 54
3rd Bill Bostic 54
4th Dennis Hart 54
5th Monte Saager 54
6th Terry Abbott 52
7th Dorothy Abbott 50
8th Bryan Dickerson 48 DNF
9th Chris Kouba 34 - DNF

IROC 1/24 BRM Porsche 962 Race:

1st Bryan Trachsel 57 laps (3 min. heats)
2nd Chris Kouba 56
3rd Bryan Dickerson 54

Odd Thursday Night Racing will be held at Hawksbill Station in Warren on July 25th.

Hawksbill Station Speedway

PROGRAM Thursday, 7/25/13

The first race is IROC ( LMP ) with winners in both expert and novice categories. 

At Hawksbill, you are a novice until you win, place or show in an open or expert race. I run them together, but try to put the big dogs in the same heats.

Race number 2 will be street cars that have their original motors and bodies covering tires.  Period.  Otherwise, tune

Odd Thursday Racing at TooBad Motorplex on June 27, 2013.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRY ABBOTT!!!

It was Terry's day, but did not turn out to be Terry's night for a win. He was however one strong contender all night long! The Hammer was back at the wheel of "Bruce" and laid down some scorching lap times! But Chris Kouba was the super star of the evening! Chris swept the first two races, and then supplied three beautiful 1/24 scale BRM Porsche 962s for the third race of the evening, an IROC style race. Chris was joined on the Winner's List by Bryan Dickerson who took the win in the very closely contested IROC race.

Here's the results:

Classic Sports Car Class:

1st Chris Kouba 48 laps
2nd Bill Bostic 47
3rd Monte Saager 47
4th Terry Abbott 46
5th Bryan Dickerson 46

7th Dorothy Abbott 45
8th AJ Locati 40
9th Dennis Hart 40
10th Victoria Saager 38

GT Class:

1st Chris Kouba 56 laps

Here are the responses I've received to date regarding Odd Thursday Night Racing.

Preferences for Tuesday nights = 3,  Wednesday = 1,  Thursday = 4.

Unless I receive more feedback with preferences for another night, it looks like we will stick with Thursday nights.
