The Sportsman class is close competition and a lot of fun with a simple designed chassis!

After the race last night ( Nov. 3rd 2018 ) during our BS session it was discussed to run a Porsche 962 race using Blue Groove Lexan bodies and no lights. It would be a special race like the Rapid 500 and the Rapid Grand Prix. I am definitely on board with it. The race could be an annual event like the other two starting in the 2020 season.

Finally the first Indy race is history. The turnout was low but the fun was high! It was close racing with Beau getting the win. The big and last race of the season takes place on May 5th. for these Indy cars. Doors open at noon and we will go through at least 4 times at 4 min. heats. I haven't officially named this race yet.

It was decided that due to the flimsy bodies we were using we would go a different route altogether. So it was decided we would go to hard bodied NASCAR trucks on this chassis.

GT3 is gone!!
