Open Race and Demo 10/29/06 MN

[Mr. Slick]

Well, with the pack canceling the Fall Classic, I have a race/demo on Sunday October 29th instead.

This is to get a group going in the Twin Cities area to see if we can build towards doing live local WIRL sanctioned racing. I have gotten support from my church so the only expenses/fees for the monthly races will be for the WIRL fees and whatever is awarded/consumed.

I would be deeply indebted if a few builders could show up to encourage this new small group. I'll have my new track up and going -- all bright and shiny!

November and December will be building and tuning with what I hop e is the first of the WIRL sanctioned monthly live races.

Hope to see folk there. I will be working to get a WIRL sanctioned race scheduled for January 21st, 2007. Live and proxy racing is the plan. :-)

[Mr. Slick]

Still hoping for some of those "NATIONAL LEVEL" cars and builders to show up!

I really want to get a group going that will be working on cars here in the Twin Cities. My guess is that the races that I hold here will be more entry level and when they get their cars tuned they will be going on to WIRL or PDDR. I have a feeling that most of the time will be spent on making and tuning cars with a monthly race.

I would love to "host" some samples from you!

Official Announcement:

Pinewood Derby Car Race
for Children & Parents
Prince of Peace Atrium
Sunday, October 29, 1-3 p.m.

Bring your own Pinewood Derby Car or
come and purchase a Pinewood Derby
Car Kit for a nominal fee. You will not
only have an opportunity to race your car,
you may also be able to watch some expert
racers at the national level who will be
showing and racing their cars.

In the future, we are hoping to have
monthly meetings to build cars, tune the
cars, and of course, to race cars... all the
while building deeper relationships with
God and others in the group! Future
meetings will focus on the: designing,
cutting out the body, wheel preparation,
axle preparation, alignment, testing, etc.

If you are going to run a Proxy race, I suggest that you stagger it by 2 weeks from the Wirl event to allow for Atlanta proxy racers to compete.

If you are looking for "National Racers", I have to agree with Buckeye.

So what are the dates that are desired in 2007?
