October 14th

S&S Speedway hosts the 4th round of the Fall Series this Thursday with Vintage LeMans and Vintage Grand Prix racing along with Chevron IROC.  Last weeks racing ran smoothly until the Red lane decided not to cooperate....  But we salvaged the night with three lane racing.  Last week's racing featured only two heats of racing with Dean taking first with 66 laps and 3 heat wins.  Chip, who only lost to Dean by a third of a lap, finished second with 66 laps and 4 heat wins.  Sr. placed third with 66 laps and 3 heat wins, while Tom P. rounded out the podiums with 65 and 2 heat wins.  If anybody wishes to come out earlier to test and tune for this Saturday's Regional Championship, the garage will be open 6:15.

Thursday Night! 10/7

The open wheel GP cars made for some interesting racing, followed by Vanquish and NSR Mosler IROC.  Jr. appeared to have the GP set up in his stock Gordini and finished with 5 heat wins and 113 laps.  Chip finished with 4 heat wins and 111 laps.  Sr. finished with three heat wins and 111 laps while Frank rounded out the podium with two heat wins and 110 points.  Only THREE laps separated first thru fourth places!  This Thursday we will race Racer, Daytona Prototypes and Group 5 cars and an IROC.  S&S would like to thank Dave Kennedy for his lens and post on the blog.

Vintage GP race field

A fun time was had by all this evening.... that is except for Tim who really wasn't enjoying himself with his GP car. But he more than made up for it by kicking my butt in several heats during the IROC race and the Vanquish race. Pix of the Vintage GP field.


Of course Sam has been working on the scenery at the track. This sign was a nice addition.

And a nice new addition to the decor of the room now... a nice new Slot Car Corner banner has appeared for everyone to enjoy!

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.

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.
