We just watched the special report on King 5. What a great job they did presenting our hobby. It was great that they let the world know about our favorite racer, Cody. We have had almost one hundred hits on our web site in the first half hour since the show. The best part was they presented it in such a way as to almost make us seem sane. What more could you ask for. Our Thanks to Chris Egan and the King 5 staff for supporting our efforts to have fun and bring back the hobby we love. BREAKING NEWS : Chris said it will be rebroadcast on Evening magazine this week sometime..
===============================================================================================================================
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT : UPCOMING RACES YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS
SATURDAY September 7th IS OUR NEXT " No Car Needed " race
What is this you ask ?? It is a fun evening where you just come to have fun and enjoy a BarBQ. To really make this fair and fun we provide the cars (one for each lane color coded) We will be racing 1/24 Parma Whisper Jet cars on our very own Twister track. This is a great opportunity to come race even if you don't own any slot cars. Even more exciting is that you can bring a friend who has never raced slot cars. So come to PSCR this Saturday and bring a friend or two. An entire evening of fun plus all you can eat BBQ for WAAAY less than the cost of a movie and snacks !!
Prize drawings during the evening will keep it interesting. Someone will go home with a New Car !!! (slot car that is)
LMP 12 SUMMER SHOOTOUT
This will be a series of four Saturday races in Aug./Sept. for LMP 12 cars. You say what is an LMP 12? Basically you can use your GT-12 by installing an LMP body or your group 10 car by installing a LMP body and 12 armature. We are also going to allow full use of bearings to insure longevity. The Idea is to have a class using the wide Variety of available LMP bodies, with a wide selection of chassis and a fast motor.

Here are some of our big winners from the "American Flat Track Worlds" held at PSCR July 16th to 18th, 2010.
Gary Johnson was our Eurosports winner and got to take home the big trophy.
 E
Here are the overall combined grand champions, Kevin Kosir center was the grand champion, Jay Mac McClelland left was second and Phil Olson third.
We had three days of nonstop racing (142 entries) with some of the best racers around. We ate well and laughed a lot. We had a television crew here working on a piece for King 5 news. Not to mention seeing a lot of old friends and making some great new ones. We stayed up until way after midnight all three days and everyone maintained a sense of humor and enjoyed each others company. We have to thank our sponsors, as I don't think anyone went home without some prizes. We just want to say thanks a lot to you all. You had better make a note, as I am sure you won't want to miss it next year.
Check out Old Wierd Herald for race results and we will be posting pics and vids as we get time.
