Point series now have an active link on the racing page, archived race dates will be the next step.

We will be closed on July 4th as we will be participating in the Grandville 4th of July Parade and Penny Carnival all day. Volunteers to walk in the parade and drive their R/Cs are welcome. Contact John or Jason at the store or by phone.

Race results and records are up now and I will be working on getting points series up next then all archived races.

Big week of racing here at BFG:

Wednesday night - 6:30 - 2 heats and mains. Last Wednesday night for the 1/8 electric promotion. Race 1/8 Electric free as a second class, half off if it is the only class you run.

Friday Night Under the Lights - 7:00 - 3 heats and mains. This is not a points race. $14 race fee ($2 off if you raced Wednesday night, Slashes $5 if you are registered and paid for the Slash Bash on Saturday night.)

Saturday - 11:00 - 3 heats and mains. This will be our last Saturday race day. After looking at the attendance, the number of non-race days due to conflict and the fact that Nitro Sundays did not happen, we will be moving our race days to Sunday at 1:00 after this weekend. ($2 off if you raced Wednesday or Friday, 1/2 price if you raced Wednesday and Friday, Slashes $5 if you are registered and paid for the Slash Bash Saturday night.)

Saturday - 6:00 - Slash Bash III - 3 heats and mains, trophies, pizza and pop. $20 entry fee for first class, $10 for second class. SC10s welcome to run in the mod class.

Whew!!! I think that covers it all. More racing and fun than anyone ought to be allowed to have in one week.

See you at the track!!!

Due to the MORL race in Jones on Saturday, June 20 and the fact that there was not much of a turnout at BFG on the Saturday of the race in Litchfield, we will be moving the race day to Sunday.

Those that race the MORL race at Jones can see me (I will be there racing) for a half off coupon to come out and race on Sunday, June 21.

Racing will start at 1:00 and consist of 3 heats and the mains.

Being Fathers Day, Fathers race for half price and kids race for free. (The half off coupons will not stack with this special, and yes, it must be YOUR kid.)

Ok, got the puddles off the track and according to the radar, everything has moved through and there is nothing behind it. Right now I would say it is 50/50 as to whether we can race outdoors tonight. Right now the track is too wet to walk on wearing shoes. Marshaling would be a nightmare and tires would load up big time.

Plan B: We will be racing tonight, rain or shine. I don't want to cancel a program because there are some who don't check the internet (HobbyTalk or BFG forums) and count on there being a race program.

If we have to race indoors, we will hold another race program Thursday night when the track will definitely be usable and the weather is supposed to be good.

Those that come out to race with us tonight to make sure we have enough for a race program (indoors or outdoors) can come back Thursday night and race for free.

I will post a definite decision as to outdoor or indoor by 5:00.

Hope to see everyone tonight either way!!!!

The forums are up and users are now able to make accounts again. All previous users will need to make new accounts, thank you.

The Hours and Events page is having it's calendar updated to include the current months events as well as 5 months in advance and 6 months back.

Off-road schedule for outdoor season:

Wednesday - 6:30 - 2 heats and mains - Electric only - $12

Friday, May 1 (then every other week) - 7:00 - 3 heats and mains under the lights - Electric only - $14

Friday, May 8 (then every other week) – 7:00 – 3 heats and mains Oval

Saturday - 11:00 -3 heats and mains - Electric only - $14

Sunday - 11:00 - 3 heats and mains - Reserved for Nitro, electric welcome - $14

Programs are rain or shine. We will run indoors if the weather is bad. Unfortunately, Sunday will be electric only when we have to run indoors. Practice on any track when it is not being used for racing.

Along with this schedule, I would like to announce a Race Pass program which will provide unlimited practice and race event fees for a month. Passes will be available beginning the month of May:

R/C Car Pass - Includes unlimited practice and race events (off-road and oval) for the month - $100. Example if you raced Wednesday and once on the weekend your total race fees for the month would be $96 under the current program. Think about it, for a hundred bucks, you can basically live at the track like I do!!!!

Rock Crawling Pass - Includes unlimited practice and comps - $50. Under the current program if you practice once a week and attend the Sunday comps you would spend $60. With the pass you can come out when ever you want and save $10. (Price may increase as we add Rock Racing and additional Crawling comps)

Combined pass - Allows for unlimited R/C racing and Rock Crawling - $125

We will continue to offer the Store Membership for $30 ($25 for Rock Crawling or Fatal Impact club members) per month which allows for unlimited practice and 25% off race/comp fees.

For R/C racing you will continue to receive $2 off your second race day of the week and half off your 3rd and 4th race days in the same week (Wednesday is always the first race day of the week and Sunday the last) if you do not have a Race Pass or Store Membership.

Hopefully one of these programs works for you. If you tell me how often you plan on coming out for racing and practicing I can tell you which program will be best for you. We want to keep it affordable and give everyone the opportunity to join us as often as they can.

I have fixed the uploading problems I was having with the web site. Updates will begin at a minimum of a weekly basis, and I will be giving the whole thing a top to bottom overhaul in the next month.

The Race Results link on the racing page now directs you to the Fatal Impact Racing site that is now the source of racing results.

We have not changed our race fee structure since we started 2 1/2 years ago. With an increase in overhead by adding to the indoor track, and to cover other increasing costs, we are looking to make a modest increase in race fees effective Wednesday, November 5.

Any 2 heat and main program - $12 first class, $5 second class
Any 3 heat and main program - $14 first class, $6 second class

Juniors under 15 will continue to be half price

First class of oval will still be half price if you run in the morning.

Sunday will continue to be half price if you raced on Wednesday and Saturday.

Store memberships (unlimited practice and 25 percent off race fees) will continue to be
$30 ($25 for Fatal Impact members)

Practice will continue to be $5 for the day

Schedule:

Wednesday - Offroad - 6:30 2 heats and mains
Saturday - Offroad - 11:00 - 3 heats and mains
Saturday - Oval - 5:00 - 3 heats and mains

Monday - Closed
Tuesday - Oval practice
Thursday and Friday - Offroad practice
Sunday - Offroad practice

Hours:
Tuesday thru Thursday - 5 to 9
Friday - 5 to 12

Thank you to everyone for your support and help in getting us to where we are today and for helping us to continue to grow.
