I live about an hour away and if you wish to come test and tune, maybe we could get together. I do have a 35 foot best track with micro wizard timer. Do you have a track?

Nope, no track. I have considered making one - doubt I can talk my Wife into buying one. That's why I'm trying to find some racing locally. I've thought about trying to get something organized. Quarterly races or something.
Your offer to share your track is very generous. I appreciate that and will definitely keep it in mind. Thank you.

Mattrix,
I live an hour west of you. My racing bud and I are looking to put something together now that the other proxy site is over. We are part of a cub scout pack and just bought a new 48ft microwizard track. (Evolution- I'm really not trying to up you. At least you have your own track.) We are looking for a good reason to use more than once a year. I think forming a local league just might be the answer. If we get it going I'll give a shout out to both of you.

I do not feel like you are trying to up me. I like the fact that you are trying to get something together. Keep me informed, I enjoy the racing.

Terrific ! Keep us posted and I'll keep my eyes peeled.
In 2 weeks my Church's pack will host their race. I understand it is a rented track.
I also have a close friend that may have access to another local Pack's track they rent out. I think they get $125 per and it has 4 lanes, timers, everything.
Seems like if you had 10 or 12 people who chipped in it could happen. I'd want to race 4x each year, maybe more.

Right now we are looking into a monthly league. We have a committee meeting this Saturday and I am bringing it up for discussion. I don't see a problem as it would generate some funds. Once I get that done I will advertise to every pack in our district. There has to be kids and dad's that want to do race more than once a year. I know I do. Then I will post on these forums to let you know. My intention is to schedule monthly on off proxy weeks so as not to interfere with what proxy racing offers. Actually, my whole plan was to come up with a way to practice for the proxy races. I might just have it!

Would this be on the weekends - I hope?
Any animosity for someone from MI showing up - that whole UM - OSU rivlary thingamagig... ;D ;D
Would be nice to have something close enough for me to drive to. The shipping costs back and forth would be worth it alone to cover my gas and such.
The camaraderie would be a huge bonus.

Would this be on the weekends - I hope? Yes. Most likely shooting for Sunday afternoons. No. We will welcome even racers from Michigan. You'll just have to be cautious during the fall. Where in Michigan? The company I work for is in Dexter. I agree! ;D |

The ***Lima Land Open ***Is Looking for RACERS ?? I thought Lima Land Open was canceled. i joined other forum when this was all going down. I was originally thinking this would be awesome to go to since I'm just an hour south. Count me in when a date can be agreed on. |
