Sorry u can't make it, But I know how you feel. After I've had to call in several times over the last few months getting things going with a new house a parade we were in last weekend and this toy drive this Saturday I got the don't be late or miss anymore days from my part time job and my wife..not sure witch one was worse so guess I better straiten up with both parties.

Okay Guy's we had a hard rain today but it looks like we will have light rain till tomorrow then clearing up Thursday early. The rest of the week and weekend is looking good.

We will be breaking out the big guns Friday I will be drying the track most of the day Friday then on to the prep that afternoon. Track will be ready Saturday morning. You might smell diesel fuel in the air for a bit Saturday morning but hay what do you expect when you use turbo charged wind machines that carry a diesel fuel flame Only thing I need to worry about is drying out the track too much...lol If for some reason it does rain on through Friday night then we will need to move this race to Sunday but so far all the weather reports show rain tapering off tomorrow early.

See yall at the Races

Sorry for the delay on my report from Saturdays great event Seems like staying up 3 days strait with hardly no sleep was a bad idea....don't figure.

We had a blast. The first racers and there family's came rolling in at 7am and thanks to my wife they had hot coffee and chocolate waiting for them because I was taking a short nap at that time.

We had a great turn out for this event not sure if anyone got a picture of the track before the Ice Cristal were cleaned off if you did send them too me for a moment there like Deven from OutLaw RC in Akain SC said we were thinking of changing the name for the track name to ice bowl. That sure was a pretty sight. But it did have to be cleared before it melted so thanks to Steve from Loganville RC for getting everyone in gear to help clear the ice.

We raised over 55 toys from this event official total is not in yet. We will post that shortly.

Thanks to everyone that came out to help us raise so many toys for family's in our area. This was a great way to end a great first year at Madison County RC. I have more to post that I'm still working on.

Race Results are at Jlap Race Management@ http://www.jlapracemanager.com/cgi-b...?where=Madison

You got the Truggy and buggy winners backwards! FYI
It's sad, I brought Devon Charnock into the hobby about 2 years ago... I can't touch the guy on the track! I'm happy for him, never had a clue he'd end up pro.
Everyone reported they loved the track and will return! Good job guys!
You have to come to our track sometime next year. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.
