This past Saturday we had some wonderful weather and even better racing. With over 40 cars running and "B" Mains in all classes, everyone was ready to have some fun. 

In the SCT "B" Main it was Mike Moore getting the win and the first bump. Then it was a race between Jaymz Mynes running a stock 2wd Slash and for just his second race Pete Freeman running his 4wd Slash. At the end it was Pete with just a bit more motor and getting the second bump. That set up the "A" Main. TQ, Roger Lovett pulled off in the lead but just two laps in had problems and fell back to 7th. That put Tim Gray in the lead, but with 2 bad laps Daniel Holloway pulled past and ran up front. With time running out in the 8 minute main Tim was right on Daniel's rear. With a last corner do or die move Tim tried to thunder thru the last corner. Daniel took his first win of the season. Bryant Reynolds who was running 3rd most of the race, went by the crashed Tim for 2nd. That left Tim in 3rd.

The Truggy "A Main saw a great race between Eric Spelock and Tiny. Tiny at the tone took off and ran up front for the first 5 minutes, but a crash let Eric take the lead. Eric lead the rest of the race with Tiny right on his rear the rest of the 20 minute main. 

The Buggy "B" Main had a good race between Mason Holley, Jason Cooley and Bob Hatfield. In the end it was Mason taking the win with Jason taking the last bump to the "A" Main. TQ, David Osborne would lead the main from start to finish. What makes this even more incredible is at the half way mark he flamed out, got off the drivers stand restarted his car went back up and still would take the win. Outstanding driving David. The big battle for 2nd and 3rd was going. On behind David. Jaymz Mynes and Greg Bird would trade position back and forth till the half way point Jaymz had a tie rod break. So that let Greg get 2nd. 3rd goes to Mike Workman who ran a consistent race and took home the last podium spot. 

E-Buggy had some fun racing going on. Tim Stollings would take the win even tho he ran out of battery. Roger Lovett was running 2nd but he also ran out of battery and that let the two Serpent 811Be's of Tim Gray and Bryant Reynolds by for 2nd and 3rd.

I want to thank all our racers for a great night of racing.
We'll see you at the track.

We had a super Winter Trophy Race March 10th.  The Mains started off with the Legend's B Main.  Cornell led the first half of the race, but a small mistake let Phillip Kouns take the lead.  Phillip ran a nice clean race to take the win and the bump up.  The Legend's A Main saw TQ Roger Lovett take the lead and in turn one make it cleanly thru lapped traffic and take the win.  Shorty ran 2nd for most of the race but got caught up in some traffic and Tim Gray squeaked by to finish 2nd with Shorty taking 3rd.  The Mini Sprints saw a great battle between Tim Stollings and Shorty.  They would swap the lead several times during the 7 min main.  At the tone it was Tim Stollings taking the win with Shorty right behind for 2nd.  And a good showing for first time Mini Sprint driver Scott Hartwell came in 3^rd in the Pro 4 class, it was Jerry Blair taking the win with Mike Moore coming in 2^nd and Wes Mills taking 3rd.  The Pro 2 class saw a great battle between TQ Roger Lovett and Scott Hartwell.  Roger got thru traffic a little easier and took home the winner's Trophy.  Scott Hartwell was just seconds behind for 2nd.  Phillip Kouns come in a good 3rd.  The Tamyia M Chassis class saw the best race of the night.  TQ Jaymz Mynes and Tim Stollings put a one heck of a driving show.  Unfortunately for Jaymz a wrecked lapped car was put down right in front of him and that was all Tim needed to take the still very close win.  Jaymz came in a frustrated 2nd just 3.7 seconds behind.  Corey Stollings came in a close 3rd.  The Mini Off-Road class was a fun race to watch.  Tim Stollings jumped his mini to the win, followed by Corey Stollings and Jerry Blair.  I was to thank all the racers who showed up and have a great time.  Also a special thanks to CJT's and Awards 4 Everything for the great looking plaques.

TCRC had a nice turn out Sat the 17th.  We will be running inside thru the end of March.  

Till next time.  We'll see you at the track.

We had a very nice turn out Saturday, with some very close and exciting racing.  Shorty TQ'ed and lead the first 9 laps till geeting lose coming out of turn 3.  That let B main winner Roger take the lead.  The running order was, Roger, Bob  and Shorty.  Lap 26 Shorty pulled off with mechanical problems.  At the buzzer it was Roger taking the win followed by Bob and Tim G. taking third.  In the Mini Sprint class Tim Stollings showed his TQ ways with a win followed by Shorty in second and Cory in third.  In the Pro-4 class the top three all lead at one point.  The race would be decided on who would make the least amount of mistakes.  With these hi powered monsters on the tight indoor track it takes a lot of skill to get around clean.  TQ, Jerry Blair had some issues toward the middle of the 7 minute main and pulled off.  So that left Mike Moore and Wes to see who would take the win.  At the buzzer it was Mike in first, Wes in second and Jerry bringing in third.  The Pro-2 class it was Rogger taking TQ and the win followed by Philip running his best race of the year for second.  The HOT new Tamiya M chassis class saw 5 cars all battling for a win.  Cory Stollings took off at the tone and lead the first 10 laps, but a small bobble let TQ, Jaymz by for the lead.  Jaymz ran mistake free to take the win.  Tim Stollings was a close second followed by Cory.  In the Mini Off-road class it was TQ, Mike Moore taking the win followed by Cory in second.

Remember TCRC is having a Trophy Race next Saturday, March 10th.  Track will open at 11:00 am.  With racing starting at 2:00 PM sharp.  We have plaques for the top 3 in the Legends, Mini Sprints, Pro-4, Pro-2, Tamiya M chassis and the Mini Off-road classes.  Entry fee for this race is $20.00 for the first class $10.00 for the second class $5.00 for the third class and your fourth class is FREE.  The track will be open Wed night for practice at 4:30pm till 8;00pm

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.
