MD6 Wrote:R/C RACING SAT., SEPT. 12 - WINFIELD, IL
There will be a fourth fundraising R/C Race at the Winfield Community United Methodist Church in Winfield, IL. The address is 0S347 Jefferson St. in Winfield, IL. All money raised will go to the church. The race will be held in the church parking lot on Sat., Sept. 12. The race will be open to all drivers. This race will be open to electric cars only. The cost will be $10.00 for each driver for any number of classes. Electricity and washrooms will be available. There’s a McDonalds and Burger King close by. The track will open for practice at 9:30 AM and racing will begin at 11:00. We will be using AMBrc lap counting and transponders will be available to use. Drivers can use personal transponders. The classes we will run will be stock touring, GT3, Tamiya mini, Slash, Off road, 1/16 scale, TT01 Spec, TransAm, NASCAR Outlaw and any others as long as we have at least three cars for a class. The church is trying this as part of their outreach programs. There may be no drivers stand. Although, Steve D. has brought his trailer for the first three races and it makes a great drivers stand. You may want to bring something to stand on if you need it. There will be a door prize drawing for the drivers at no charge. Everyone had a very good time at our first three races.
This great place for new dirvers to get started and for racers looking to have fun!
Directions: Take Rt. 38/ Roosevelt road to County Farm Rd and turn north. There’s a MacDonald’s at that intersection. Go north to Manchester Rd. and turn left or west on Manchester. Take Manchester to Jefferson St. and turn right or north and go about a block and you’ll see the church on the right side.
Take Rt. 64/North Ave. to County Farm Rd. and turn south. There’s a Honda motorcycle dealer at the intersection. Take County Farm Rd. to Manchester Rd. Turn right or west on to Manchester Rd. Take Manchester to Jefferson and turn right on Jefferson. Go about a block and you’ll see the church on the right.
Because of the different address, map quest and other driving direction programs may not work.
Is there typically a good turn-out for the Tamiya Mini group? Also, what are the rules for motors and batteries in that class? I have an old M01 Mini that I might bring out, but most likely will stop by just to watch. Ive been out of RC for a while, and the bug bit me once again...
