Thursday Eve, Sept. 16th.

S&S Speedway will begin it's Fall Series, opening with Vanquish, Racer Daytona Prototype and JJ's FLYROCK Porsche Gt1 car...  S&S asks that all our competing cars meet with the specified, class rules. After a very successful timed heat test last week, S&S Speedway has more power and punch!  Thanks to Chuck and Tim for helping out with something I could not do alone... REMEMBER, this Saturday is the Racer Resin Regional Qualifier race. Please reference the blog pages for times and rules...  See you at the track!

Tonight/ Sept. 9th

S&S Speedway recently underwent some electrical surgery to solve an issue with the Red Lane.  With the combined efforts of Chuck and Tim, not only was the problem solved, but the track was also completely rewired with additional taps. Needless to say, the track is very quick with more punch.  S&S Management did not have the opportunity to test the for the Regional next weekend, so tonight's "official" fall racing will be postponed to begin next Thursday.  However, S&S Speedway will open tonight for test and tune of Fall series cars and needs to run some 10 minute timed heats.  Perhaps a 10 minute heat IROC, or a "Run What You Brug" 10 minute heater. So bring some cars, and see you at the track!!!

Fall Series 2010!!

The poll is complete, thank you all for your votes.  We have five classes to alternate amongst IROC racing this fall!  S&S will open the Fall 2010 Series with Vanquish, Daytona Protoype, Group 5 Blue Motor, Vintage Lemans and Vintage Gan Prix.  We will begin this Thursday with Vanquish, Daytona Prototype and JJ's FLY, IROC Porsches if he can make it.  Please check the Fall Rules Page for Class rules.  S&S Management will be researching and persuing detailed car selections and rules for the Group 5 and Vintage Gran Prix class since they are both, newly added classes.  Along with the rules for the two newly added classes, the Fall Series Schedule is forthcoming as well.

IROC Final And Fall Poll

Gents, This Thursday S&S Speedway features the final IROC racing night.  The points are still tight and podium places are up for grabs....  Anything can happen.  I have posted a Fall Series Poll with all of the classes we have raced at S&S and a couple new interests. S&S is asking for only Thursday Night Members to vote in the poll please.  Please fell free to comment if management has missed a class or there's an interest you have as a write in vote.

Thursday, August 19th

S&S Speedway will host IROC racing this Thursday night.  Last Thursday featured competitive racing again! Next Thursday will be the final summer IROC event, and Fall racing series will begin Thursday, September 2nd.  A class poll will be posted to vote on soon, so please check back.  Fall racing will feature voted classes and IROC heat racing each evening.

This Thursday 8/12

S&S Speedway will host IROC racing this Thursday night.  Last week was some of the closest racing yet!!  The Group C class and Touring class cars were so evenly matched, and the racing was so close, that deslotting was almost terminal.  Tim finished first with 4 heat wins, Jr. in second with 4 heat wins, Sr. in third with 4 heat wins and Dean took fourth with 3 heat wins.  See you at the track!

NEW IROC CLASSES!!!

S&S Speedway has developed 6 new IROC Classes...  S&S property owner secured a deal with some barn finds, and able garage mechanics brought them up to speed for competition!  Classic Rally lighted, Touring Sedan lighted, Group C blue motored, DTM lighted, COT NASCAR and Ferrari BB512 lighted.

Thursday August 5th

S&S Speedway will IROC race this Thursday evening, featuring two NEW IROC classes.  This past Thursday featured very close, heat racing again with Chip taking first with 112 laps and 4 heat wins, Tim in second with 111 laps and 5 heat wins, Jr. in third with 110 laps and 3 heat wins, while Frank finished fourth with 109 laps and 2 heat wins.  Both Sr. and Johnathan finished with 3 heat wins. S&S Speedway is also on the verge of securing an additional two new IROC classes for future racing, taking IROC class totals to 10 IROC classes.  A poll will be posted soon for possible Fall series classes.  It has been suggested that S&S Speedway continue to feature IROC racing classes within regular series racing as well. We all have many classes of slot cars at home we like to race, and track management will do its best to combine class interests with IROC interests.

SUMMER IROC UPDATE

This past Thursday's IROC racing proved to be the closest and most competitive yet!  Only TWO laps separated 1st thru 4th place!!  Track position determined 3rd thru 6th place!!!  But most noteworthy and a big thanks to Dave, "Capt. Carrera", who delivered the fun in a BIG way by bringing four 1/24 cars for us to  IROC.  They not only proved to be competitive, but big fun as well.  Jr. scored 76 laps with 4 heat wins, Frank came in second with 75 laps and 3 heat wins, J.J. completed 74 laps for 3rd place with 3 heat wins while Chip topped out the podium with 74 laps and 2 heat wins. Also noteworthy was Sr's 3 heat wins, Tim's 2 heat wins, Dean's 2 heat wins and Scott's 2 heat wins, which faired well in this close battle.  Newcomer Jay did well on his first competition with 65 laps. This week will feature IROC racing once again, featuring the FLY Corvettes, FLY Porsche GT1's and the Vanquish cars if time permits. See you at the track!

Frank finished with 5 heat wins and 146 laps, while Dean and Rich finished with 4 heat wins each and tied with 146 laps.  Clem, Dave (a.k.a.

BACK BY REQUEST!!!!

Due to the positive feedback, S&S Speedway will host another IROC night of racing this Thursday night, June 24th. S&S will have two new classes of IROC cars (Marcos and Vanquish), and will race two other IROC classes from a choice vote of racers who come out to race, so JJ, if you can make it, bring those FLY Porsches!  It's another "just bring your troller night".....  or any other cars you may wish to test and tune.... Doors open at 6:45 for practice, and racing should begin around 7:30ish, so see you at the track!!

THURSDAY I.R.O.C.

One word describes it....  BLAST!!!  Eleven Racers showed up to run four classes of equally prepared cars....  We even had a lady racer show up, Samantha, who did really well for her first time...  Here's how it went... Four classes were chosen from the possible six. FLY Racing Porsche GT1's, FLY Corvette CR5's, NSR Moslers and Artin NASCARS got the nod... Drivers ran 10 lap heats in each lane, straight rotation, accumulating laps from all four classes. New class cars were rotated in where the driver came out in the Yellow lane. Just a breakdown to show how close the racing was...  Sam Sr. had seven heat wins, Frank and Jr. had six heat wins, JJ and Dean had five heat wins, Tom G. had four heat wins, Scott, Chip and Rich accumulated three heat wins...  And O' Captain, my Captain, Dave K., finished with one heat win...  More IROC nights are in the planning stages with the possibility of two more classes to be added. Thursday night racing at S&S is always open to any interested, non-mag racers. Several micro towels were brought out to clean the drool off the raceway as Dave Kennedy brought out the NEW Carrera Can Am cars...  wow, did they go over huge!!!

And now the video....

THURSDAY NIGHT R.O.C.!!!!

This Thursday, June 10th, S&S Speedway will host Night ROC. It's a "just bring your troller", night  of racing!!  S&S will host up to 5 classes of I.R.O.C. prepared classes including J-J's super FLY Porsche GT1's and the new NSR Mosler class!!!  (click on the image for a full shot of the field, less J-J's cars I didn't have) Practice begins at 6:45.  See you at the track!

SPRING SERIES FINALE!!!

The Spring Series is over and congrats to J-J who mopped up the competition!!! Impressive was Dean, who podiumed fourth place! First time racer Tim ran hot this season and Rich didn't do so shabby as well...  There was only a 40 lap separation between first and fourth places.


Track property owner, as opposed to track manager, has opted to level the Senior Division because three of the four racers missed two or more races.  Since Frank and Chip missed three and Clem missed two, The property owner and track manager has eliminated three nights of races for Sr., one night of races from Clem, counting a total of six races for the Senior Division points standings.  Talk about tight....  Chip, after a two week hiatus, came on strong and finished tied for first with Sr. with 663 laps!  Frank was right behind them with 662 laps, while Clem finished with 658 laps!
