03/23/2008 - Easter - No Racing

03/30/2008 - Another cancel due to weather.

04/06/2008 - Rain out

04/13/2008 - Race Results - Well, 34 entries outraced the rain.  Not all of us found traction on the cold asphalt, but we all had fun.  The new Trans-Am class started out with a good showing with 12 entries.

04/20/2008 - The weather report says it will be too cold and wet to race.  See you next week. 

04/27/2008 - Race Results - 36 entries and we had to outrace the rain again.  Unfortunately the last two races in the mains didn't make it before the rains came.  It was good seeing all the racers out there and hope to see you the rest of the year.

05/04/2008 - Race Results - Summer has finally arrived.  We had 34 entries today.

05/11/2008 - Mothers Day - No Racing

05/18/2008 - Race Results - 39 entries.  The Trans Am racing was very close, qualifying had the first 6 positions within 5 seconds of each other. 

05/25/2008 - Race Results -  I would like to thank everybody that showed up and stuck around until we could make the decision to setup.  And it was a good decision also, we had 36 entries and a great day of racing.  Trans Am was the largest class.

 06/01/2008 - Race Results - A little cold today.  39 entries.

06/08/2008 - Race Results - 38 entries came out to brave the cold and were rewarded with the sun coming out towards the end of the day.  Brian Bodine gave a very informative gas engine tuning class during lunch break.  YBD and I would like to thank Kody for calling the Trans Am races. 

06/15/2008 - Race Results - Happy Fathers Day.  We had 30 entries show up.  It got hot but the breeze keep it from being uncomfortable.

06/29/2008 - Race Results - 31 entries came out to a scorcher of a race day.  The track temperature made it up to 140 degrees and the heat radiating off of it brought the air temperature up to 117 degrees.

07/04/2008 - Race Results - 4th of July Freedom Fair Race - Another great 4th of July race.  Lots of good food and company.

07/06/2008 - Race Results -  Now, that was racing.  With the guys from Portland coming up we had 44 entries.  Lots of great racing in all the classes.

07/13/2008 - Race Results - So much for the weather man.  It was supposed to be cooler today and many of us ran out of water with the temp in the upper 80's.  We would like to thank everybody for their patients while we identified and attempted to fix the problem with the loop, and for the help from Chris and Dan for calling out the cars so we could count them by hand.  We will try to get a new loop for next week and Kody is testing the decoder box to make sure there isn't any problems with it.

07/20/2008 - Race Results - 43 entries today.  The new loop arrived in time and everything worked.  We also tried out a new race program, as you can see by the new look of the results.

07/27/2008 - Race Results - A little light with 32 entries.  A small rain shower delayed our late start today.  We ran two rounds and the mains.

08/03/2008 - Race Results - 48 entries getting in some track time before the Summer Sizzler next week.

08/09-10/2008 - Summer Sizzler 2008 race results We had 58 drivers entering 80 cars come out to brave the weather.  Track setup started at noon on Friday and was soon open for practice.  Saturday morning started with practice and then the drivers meeting at 11:00am followed by concourse judging and the start of the qualifying rounds.  Everybody was very patient with the rain on Saturday as the sprinkles interrupted a few of the qualifying heats in the second round which had to be re-run.  The racers agreed to start the third round with the knowledge that if they had to be stop for rain, all the third round results would be thrown out.  Within a few rounds it did rain enough we had to stop.  The racers pointing to the some clear sky in the distance were soon running for cover as a heavy downpour cleaned all the traction compound off of the track.  Sundays forecast looked better and we were rewarded with a day without rain.  After the track was dried off and traction compound was reapplied to the track, the gas and electric cars each had 15 minute and 10 minute controlled practice sessions before we started the final re-sorted qualifier.  Another 10 minute controlled practice session for each type of car preceded the mains.  Gas sedan had a 25 minute A-main, 10 minute B-main and 5 minute C-main.  The electric classes had AAA-mains and single B-mains.

08/17/2008 - Race Results - Looks like another case of the 'Sizzler Hangover'.  The week after the Sizzler usually has a light turnout.  The rain the thunder storm the night before probably didn't help much either.  The rain, along with the heat, made for a very humid day.  20 entries were rewarded with a lot of great battles on the track.  The 17.5 class made another showing and it would be nice to keep it going and see if the 27t motors can keep up with the 17.5.    

08/24/2008 - Race Results -  We had 12 drivers brave enough to try and out race the rain enter 16 cars.  We managed to get in two qualifiers and made it through all but the last race of the mains.

08/31/2008 - Rain Out- I wasn't in town for this race but it doesn't look like I missed much.

09/07/2008 - Race Results - We had 26 entries today, and some great weather.

09/14/2008 - Race Results - 28 entries today.

09/21/2008 - Rain Out- There is a good chance of rain.  Even if it doesn't ground and air is so damp that it would take a long time for the traction compound to dry and really limit our race day.

09/28/2008 - Canceled due to lack of attendanceWe had good weather but were missing people, by 9:50 AM there were only 7 people at the track.

10/05/2008 - The rest of the season has been canceled due to lack of attendance.
