We had a great turn out Sat. 
 
The mains started with the Legend "B" main.  Mike Vititoe was the winner in the "B" and bumped up the the main.  The Legend "A" main had TQ Roger Lovett having to leave early so that left 2nd and 3rd qualifiers Shorty and Tim Gray to battle for the win.  Shorty tock off at the buzzer and lead for the first 31 laps.  Shorty got tangled with some lap traffic and Tim G. got by.  At the end of the 5 minutes it was Tim G. with the win and Shorty just 3 seconds behind for 2nd.  3rd went to Bob Hatfield. 
 
With 7 SCT Pro 4 trucks it was a full track.  TQ was Jerry Blair and Jerry showed why he won TQ.  At the Buzzer he took off and never looked back.  Up for grabs was 2nd, 3rd and 4th.  After 7 minutes of close racing Daniel Martin got thru traffic just a little better and was 2nd.  Shorty just 2 seconds behind got the 3rd spot.  2nd, 3rd and 4th all ended up with 31 laps. 
 
The SCT Pro 2 had 5 trucks all looking to take the win.  TQ Scott Hartwell lead from start to finish.  Jaymz Mynes was 2in qualifying and was close to Scott till lapped traffic took him out.  that left Brandon Davis taking 2nd and Phillip Kouns taking 3rd.
 1/10 Sprint cars Had Tim Gray taking the win.  With TQ Mike Moore getting 2nd and Brad Parks taking 3rd.  All 3 were with in a lap of each other.  This is a great class.  
 
In the Mini Slider class we had a full heat of these cheap little cars and had some great racing.  Tim Stollings TQ'd and took home the win.  Harold Leasure was 2nd and Mike Moore was 3rd.  Cory Stollings easily won the Mini Late Model class.
 
The Tamiya M chassis class.  Tim Stollings TQ'd and won and very close 2nd was Cory Stollings.  This is a great spec class and very affordable.
 
The Mini Off-road class saw Daniel Martin take his new Losi mini 1/14 8ight to victory.  TQ, Tim Stollings had a great race with just 3 wheels after an early crash and still came out 2nd.  Phillip Kouns came in a close 3rd.
 
Thanks o all the racers for putting on a great show.

We had a pretty good turn out Saturday. Unfortunately we had a lot of computer and house transponder issues so the day went a little long. Everyone was great about some of the delays. The delays didn't slow down the racing though. In the Legend Oval class TQ, Roger Lovett and Shorty put on quite a show. After the 5 minute main Shorty just edged out Roger for the win. With new comer to the Legend class Tim Gray coming in third. The 2 new classes running this weekend were the 1/18 Mini Sliders and the Tamiya M Chassis class. Both were great to watch and a very affordable way to get into racing. I know there are more then a few racers already putting their order in for theses two new classes. 

I want to remind everyone that starting in 2013 personal transponders will be MANDATORY, for both indoor and outdoor tracks. 

I also want to congratulate Jerry Blair, Daniel Martin, Wes Mills and Daniel Holloway for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the 4wd SCT class at the KY State. Also to Jaymz Mynes for winning the Sportsman Buggy class at the KY State race. Way to make us TCRC racers look good.

Even though we had a low turnout at the TCRC today - Racing went well with some great heats and mains.  Overall we had racers in three classes including Legends Oval, Mini's and 1/10 SCT's.   Thanks to everyone that made it out today.  You all did a great job racing and helping turn marshall. 

The day ended with Bob Hatfield taking the A-Main in the Legends Oval, while Tim Stollings won the Mini class and Jaymze Mynes brought home the checkered flag in the 1/10 SCT's. 

TCRC will be closed the next two weekends so the racers can spend time during the holidays with their families.   We will reopen for racing on 1/7/2012.   The Gym will open at noon for practice with racing starting at 2pm. 

Hopefully everyone will bring out their new toys they get from Santa!!   

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from TCRC!!!!!!

TCRC had their first indoor race of the winter.  Legends were the big class with Roger Lovett winning the A main.  We had some Sprint Cars and Tim Gray won the A main.  The 1/18 - 1/16 Mini class saw Tim Stollings take the A main win.  In the hard fought 1/10 SCT A main it was close with Tim Gray taking the win.  I want to give a huge THANKS to Lexie for doing a great job running the computer.  It looks like we might have some VTA cars showing up in the next week or two.  If you have an electric vehicle bring it to the track and we'll find a class for you.
