I'm not sure exactly where he is moving to in Arizona. He said he will get me his new address. Can I give him your phone number Chris? Your email address will not do Ted any good!

Thanks Zack, but I had help. There weren't many racers that showed up for ALL the races. I was one of the few which is really what got me to where I finished for the season.

Great racing yesterday with a good group of racers!
Sadly it was Ted's last race with us before his move to Arizona. Hopefully he will find another group of like minded racers there to beat up on!
We raced the TA2 class for points and the Early Modified class for fun. There were some great battles throughout both races!
Thanks Howie for yet another great event!
Here's a short video clip from the Early Modified race:

Re: Rob's Car Builds (31 replies, posted in Cars)
He likes to run all the cars he builds. He is hoping for some "vintage" car races to be held in the future, something I would also like to see. He has also expressed interest in racing with the True Scale guys. I am currently looking for cars to get him going.

Although Rob does a lot of restorations, he also completes some new builds. This Porsche was built from a new Revell body kit and placed on an original Revell chassis.

Re: Rob's Car Builds (31 replies, posted in Cars)
Rob came by today with some of latest builds.
First up is this Strombecker Cheetah he restored. One thing Rob is really good at is getting the bodies lowered on the chassis for a better ride height. I should have wiped the car down before taking these photos. The dust distracts from the great paint job!

Saturday a few of us got together for the OSCAR Sports Car race at Springwater Raceway. Springwater proved to be an awesome venue for this class of cars. The 140 foot long, fast track provided for some very close racing!
