Folks -

Need to find a GREAT venue for taping a full segment for an upcoming RC Hobbies program for the DIY Network. Looking for a SUPER location holding an ONROAD competition near the end of September or Early October.

ANY help or leads you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I think a great place to record some awsome onroad action would be the first race of the Florida onroad gas state series in Ft Myers Florida 2005/2006 season on september 24 and 25. The contact person would be Jim Rice, he is the race director there, I dont have his phone number but I'm sure that someone will come on here and post it. Also you can go to http://www.forgass.com for more info about the state series. Thanks, Freddy V. [email protected]

Another World Champion To Compete In IIC
May 2, 2005 (Milwaukee, WI) – Current world champion Marc Rheinard has been added to the list of drivers scheduled to compete in the International Indoor Championships. Rheinard will be joining Team Orion teammates Atsushi Hara, Surikarn Chaidejsuriya, Teemu Leino, and Jilles Groskamp. The event will be taking place September 21-25, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“I am continually honored that the top drivers in the world are coming to race the IIC“, said Scotty Ernst. “With the addition of Marc to the rest of the drivers in the field, the mains are going to be events that no one will want to miss.”

Last year, Rheinard won the IFMAR On Road Touring Car World Championship at the Full Throttle Speedway in central Florida. Since then he has finished 2nd at the 2005 DHI Cup, 3rd at the Thailand International Touring Championships and recently won at the 2005 LRP Touring Car Masters in April.

European Drivers Groskamp and Honigl Plan To Race In IIC
April 19, 2005 (Milwaukee, WI) - Another side of the globe has been heard from. Hubert Honigl from Vienna, Austria and Jilles Groskamp from the Netherlands have announced plans to race in the International Indoor Championships. The event will be taking place September 21-25, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“This shows the true interest in the event from around the world “, said Scotty Ernst. “The European drivers have adapted very well to foam tire racing in the US, and now many of the US drivers will be running on rubber tires at the IIC. It will be interesting to see who will be setting the pace in each of the tire classes. Also, there is something very special planned for those drivers that run both Rubber and Foam Modified at the IIC. Stay tuned.”

Honigl’s last race in the US was a 8th place finish in the highly competitive Modified class at Snowbirds. Groskamp, coming off his dominating performance at the Snowbirds, will again return to the USA to see if he can gain another title and become the king of the carpet in the USA.

An excellent venue for you would be the Las Vegas Silverbowl on Oct 13-16. Where they will be running the Paris Memorial On-Road Race. Its a race that is dedicated to the pioneer of Nitro On-Road racing and there will be some big named drivers at this race. I dont know if those dates will fit into your schedule, but this is one of the big races of the year.

If you need more information on this race, please feel free to contact Rich Taylor at www.4acesracing.net..... he will gladly answer any questions you may have.

Folks -

All the input that we got has been great. Due to logistics, budget, schedule issues, etc. We're having to shoot a set of races in Knoxville, TN late this month in order to meet our deadlines. We are, however, already looking at the next slate of shows and will keep all these venues in mind for the next round. Please watch for announcements and for us to be coming your way. THANKS, again.

Too bad. I don't know of any tracks in Tennessee, or any on road gas racers. I guess you want to watch electric indoor carpet only. Off road is probably pretty big in Tennessee.
