Make sure to mark your calendars for one of TCRC's most fun races of the year!

TCRC has lost its most significant member this past week. The grandfather of TCRC, Bob Hatfield went to be with the Lord on 5/13/2013. Bob was a great person and never knew a stranger. He would stop whatever he was doing to help anybody with anything they needed. He was the poster child of the guy in the pits that would do anything to get you back out there on the track if you had issues. Racing this past Saturday was over shadowed by the announcement; the racers pushed on, but with heavy hearts. Bob had a wonderful wife that also went to the Lord in 2008. Since then we dedicated one of our bigger races in honor of her, Bob will also be added to that list. The 2013 WV State Race will hold the banner of Bob & Ann Hatfield memorial. Keep Bob's family in your prayers and we will see you at the track.

TCRC would like to extend a free test and tune weekend (4/27/2013) prior to the 1st official race of the season (5/4/2013). The test will be a very relaxed day so be prepared for a lot of practice and evaluation of the track. To emphasize the practice time, we will only be running 2 heats and the mains. Remember, races start at 1 PM this year so get to the track early.

We have 2 more weeks into TCRC's new indoor track racing. March 16th, we had 21 cars signed up and racing in 6 classes. With close heat races the mains looked to be fun to watch.
In the new pan car class or NASCAR as we are calling it it was TQ Tim Gray running up front with John Sword running a close 2nd. John has some mechanical issues about half way in. Tim took the win with John taking 2nd.
In the Legend class, it was TQ Mike Workman taking an early lead with Bob Hatfield right on his tail. Running almost identical lap times it looked to be a great race. Unfortunately for Bob, lapped traffic would be his down fall. After 5 minutes of hard running it was Mike with the win, Bob taking 2nd, and Mike Vititoe coming in 3rd.
Oval SCT, we had TQ John Sword jumping out front followed by Stephanie Sword and Paul Simpson. After 7 minutes of running they would finish that way.
Mini Off-Road it would be Jeremy Sword taking the win followed by Cory Stollings in 2nd, and John Sword JR in 3rd.
The M Chassis class saw some very close racing. At the tone it would be TQ Tim Stollings taking the lead followed by Jaymz Mynes and Tim Gray. Stollings would make a mistake allowing both Jaymz and Tim Gray by. Jaymz would make a small mistake to let Gray take the lead. Tim Gray would then have mechanical problems and have to take his car off the track. That put Jaymz back up front with Tim Stollings a close 2nd. But Jaymz would not be denied and would take the win. Tim Stollings would come home in 2nd and Tim Gray would limp home in 3rd.
The SCT Class saw a great race between father and daughter. TQ John Sword and his daughter Stephanie Sword would race the 7 min main running on the same lap. Stephanie would lead the first half of the race, but a roll over let her dad John squeak by. John would go on to win with Stephanie taking a close 2nd and Paul Simpson taking 3rd
The Formula 1 class would see TQ Tim Stollings take the lead and never look back. The battle was for 2nd between Tim Gray and Brad Parks. Brad was in second with Tim right behind. With just 30 seconds left Tim Gray tucked to the inside of the sweeper to take second. After the 7 minute battle it would be Tim Stollings taking the win with Tim Gray in 2nd and Brad Parks in 3rd
I want to thank all the racers and spectators for making TCRC's newest track a great success.
Till next time, I'll see you at the track.

Well this past Sat was our second official race at TCRC's new indoor track in the Kyova Mall. The race action has been nothing but spectacular.
The Legend Class has some old faces returning in the first weekend of racing. Bob Hatfield, who I believe is 83 years young. (If I'm wrong I do apologize). Plus Mike Vititoe and Brad Parks are back in action. With new comer to the
class running a "rent a ride" Mike Workman. Week one had and Bob and Mike W. running neck and neck all night. In the main Bob and Mike W. would swap almost every lap, while racing VERY clean. At about the 3 minute mark, Bob would get caught in lapped traffic and that was all Mike W. needed. Mike Workman would take the first ever A Main win in the Mall. Bob came in 2nd, Brad 3rd.
Weekend #2 saw a carbon copy of week one, with Bob and Mike W. putting on one heck of a driving clinic. With up to 30 spectators watching thru the windows Bob and Mike W. had everyone watching. But Bob couldn't make it thru some lapped traffic and Mike W. takes the win again. Bob 2nd, Mike V. 3rd.
We have been trying out 1cell lipo batteries in the Legend class and so far there is no advantage to either the old packs or the lipo's, other then run time.
The Oval SCT Class is full of all new faces. Which is not only good for indoor but makes this outdoor season look good too. Week one the SCT class was a fun class to watch. Tim Jordan won 2 of the 3 heat races and set TQ. I want to give Stephanie Sword a shout out. She won the second heat race and that was just her 2nd ever race. It's great to see a girl not only racing but having a great time. In the main it was John Sword and Tim J. Setting the pace. With John S. would lead for the first 6 min. But a few mistakes let Tim J. By with just a minute to go. Once Tim J. Was in the lead he never looked back. Tim Jordan 1st, John Sword 2nd, Stephanie Sword 3rd.
Week #2 had the whole Sword race team, with John, Stephanie and Jeremy. We also had a brand new face Paul Simpson join us for his first ever race. The main had John jump out quick and never look back. Second place had a real battle going on between Stephanie and Paul. The two battled back and forth for the first half of the race until Paul's servo saver failed. So John Sword 1st, Stephanie Sword 2nd and Paul 3rd.
The M Chassis Class had all the big hitters from last year back. Week one we had Tim Stollings, Jaymz Mynes, Tim Gray all running the same laps. Tim Stollings would Take TQ. The Main Tim S. took off with Jaymz and Tim G. Right behind him. But after 7 minutes if hard racing no one could keep up with Tim S who took the win. Jaymz 2nd and Tim G. 3rd.
Week #2 we had 3 different heat race winners. Tim Stollings, Cory Stollings, and TQ, Jaymz Mynes. The main was a close one, but after 7 minutes it was Tim S. taking the win with Cory 2nd and Jaymz 3rd.
SCT road course has the same names from oval. Week one we had Tim Jordan win all 3 heat races with Stephanie Sword taking 2nd in all 3. The main Tim J. lead from the tone and take the win. After a bad start John Sword would work his way up and finish 2nd. Stephanie put in a very solid race and finished 3rd.
Week #2 John Sword would win 2 heat races and take TQ. Winning her first race in heat #2 was Stephanie Sword. The main we had Dad versus Daughter. John lead the whole race but Stephanie was always right there to strike if he made a mistake. With just a few laps to go and everyone cheering her on she had a chance to take her dad out as he tried to put her a lap down. But being the lady she is she let him by. So John Sword takes the win, with Stephanie Sword 2 nd and brand new to racing Paul with a stripped out servo arm 3rd.
Formula 1 Class. The new kid on the block. Talk about a fun class. These cars handle and shoot out of corners just like their full size brothers. Tim Stollings would take TQ. Once the main started it was Cory Stollings taking the win. Tim Stollings 2nd and Tim Gray 3rd
Week #2 Tim Gray would TQ. The main had the top 3 drivers all poised to take the win. But it would be Cory Stollings working his way up from a third place start to take the win. With Tim Gray 2nd and Tim Stollings 3rd.
I want to thank everyone who has helped make TCRC's newest track possible and for putting so much work into it. I look for a very bright future ahead for TCRC in the Kyova Mall.

This past Saturday we had some wonderful weather and even better racing. With over 40 cars running and "B" Mains in all classes, everyone was ready to have some fun.
In the SCT "B" Main it was Mike Moore getting the win and the first bump. Then it was a race between Jaymz Mynes running a stock 2wd Slash and for just his second race Pete Freeman running his 4wd Slash. At the end it was Pete with just a bit more motor and getting the second bump. That set up the "A" Main. TQ, Roger Lovett pulled off in the lead but just two laps in had problems and fell back to 7th. That put Tim Gray in the lead, but with 2 bad laps Daniel Holloway pulled past and ran up front. With time running out in the 8 minute main Tim was right on Daniel's rear. With a last corner do or die move Tim tried to thunder thru the last corner. Daniel took his first win of the season. Bryant Reynolds who was running 3rd most of the race, went by the crashed Tim for 2nd. That left Tim in 3rd.
The Truggy "A Main saw a great race between Eric Spelock and Tiny. Tiny at the tone took off and ran up front for the first 5 minutes, but a crash let Eric take the lead. Eric lead the rest of the race with Tiny right on his rear the rest of the 20 minute main.
The Buggy "B" Main had a good race between Mason Holley, Jason Cooley and Bob Hatfield. In the end it was Mason taking the win with Jason taking the last bump to the "A" Main. TQ, David Osborne would lead the main from start to finish. What makes this even more incredible is at the half way mark he flamed out, got off the drivers stand restarted his car went back up and still would take the win. Outstanding driving David. The big battle for 2nd and 3rd was going. On behind David. Jaymz Mynes and Greg Bird would trade position back and forth till the half way point Jaymz had a tie rod break. So that let Greg get 2nd. 3rd goes to Mike Workman who ran a consistent race and took home the last podium spot.
E-Buggy had some fun racing going on. Tim Stollings would take the win even tho he ran out of battery. Roger Lovett was running 2nd but he also ran out of battery and that let the two Serpent 811Be's of Tim Gray and Bryant Reynolds by for 2nd and 3rd.
I want to thank all our racers for a great night of racing.
We'll see you at the track.

Track works has been busy the last 2 weeks. We are getting very close to having it done. This Sat April 21th we are going to have a "Test and Tune" day. Gates will open up at noon and we'll get the races going at 2:00. It will be $5.00 a driver, run as many classes as you want. We will sign-up like a reg race, but be prepared for some track maintenance as we will have to face some jumps when we see how all the different cars go over them. Remember this is just a Test and Tune, not a club race so the day may go a little slower then what we will be running on race days. The Grand Opening race for the 2012 season will be April 28th.
I want to thanks Stanford, Bob Gordon, Roger, Shorty, Mike Workman, Jaymz, Jess, Tim Stollings, Bryant, Bob Hatfield, Mike Moore, Brad, Mike V, and all those that have come out to help on the track. Thank you all. You guys and gal are why TCRC is a great place to race.
The schedule is up-dated so you now can get your days off.

We had a super Winter Trophy Race March 10th. The Mains started off with the Legend's B Main. Cornell led the first half of the race, but a small mistake let Phillip Kouns take the lead. Phillip ran a nice clean race to take the win and the bump up. The Legend's A Main saw TQ Roger Lovett take the lead and in turn one make it cleanly thru lapped traffic and take the win. Shorty ran 2nd for most of the race but got caught up in some traffic and Tim Gray squeaked by to finish 2nd with Shorty taking 3rd. The Mini Sprints saw a great battle between Tim Stollings and Shorty. They would swap the lead several times during the 7 min main. At the tone it was Tim Stollings taking the win with Shorty right behind for 2nd. And a good showing for first time Mini Sprint driver Scott Hartwell came in 3rd in the Pro 4 class, it was Jerry Blair taking the win with Mike Moore coming in 2nd and Wes Mills taking 3rd. The Pro 2 class saw a great battle between TQ Roger Lovett and Scott Hartwell. Roger got thru traffic a little easier and took home the winner's Trophy. Scott Hartwell was just seconds behind for 2nd. Phillip Kouns come in a good 3rd. The Tamyia M Chassis class saw the best race of the night. TQ Jaymz Mynes and Tim Stollings put a one heck of a driving show. Unfortunately for Jaymz a wrecked lapped car was put down right in front of him and that was all Tim needed to take the still very close win. Jaymz came in a frustrated 2nd just 3.7 seconds behind. Corey Stollings came in a close 3rd. The Mini Off-Road class was a fun race to watch. Tim Stollings jumped his mini to the win, followed by Corey Stollings and Jerry Blair. I was to thank all the racers who showed up and have a great time. Also a special thanks to CJT's and Awards 4 Everything for the great looking plaques.
TCRC had a nice turn out Sat the 17th. We will be running inside thru the end of March.

We had a very nice turn out Saturday, with some very close and exciting racing. Shorty TQ'ed and lead the first 9 laps till geeting lose coming out of turn 3. That let B main winner Roger take the lead. The running order was, Roger, Bob and Shorty. Lap 26 Shorty pulled off with mechanical problems. At the buzzer it was Roger taking the win followed by Bob and Tim G. taking third. In the Mini Sprint class Tim Stollings showed his TQ ways with a win followed by Shorty in second and Cory in third. In the Pro-4 class the top three all lead at one point. The race would be decided on who would make the least amount of mistakes. With these hi powered monsters on the tight indoor track it takes a lot of skill to get around clean. TQ, Jerry Blair had some issues toward the middle of the 7 minute main and pulled off. So that left Mike Moore and Wes to see who would take the win. At the buzzer it was Mike in first, Wes in second and Jerry bringing in third. The Pro-2 class it was Rogger taking TQ and the win followed by Philip running his best race of the year for second. The HOT new Tamiya M chassis class saw 5 cars all battling for a win. Cory Stollings took off at the tone and lead the first 10 laps, but a small bobble let TQ, Jaymz by for the lead. Jaymz ran mistake free to take the win. Tim Stollings was a close second followed by Cory. In the Mini Off-road class it was TQ, Mike Moore taking the win followed by Cory in second.

We had a pretty good turn out Saturday. Unfortunately we had a lot of computer and house transponder issues so the day went a little long. Everyone was great about some of the delays. The delays didn't slow down the racing though. In the Legend Oval class TQ, Roger Lovett and Shorty put on quite a show. After the 5 minute main Shorty just edged out Roger for the win. With new comer to the Legend class Tim Gray coming in third. The 2 new classes running this weekend were the 1/18 Mini Sliders and the Tamiya M Chassis class. Both were great to watch and a very affordable way to get into racing. I know there are more then a few racers already putting their order in for theses two new classes.
I want to remind everyone that starting in 2013 personal transponders will be MANDATORY, for both indoor and outdoor tracks.
I also want to congratulate Jerry Blair, Daniel Martin, Wes Mills and Daniel Holloway for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the 4wd SCT class at the KY State. Also to Jaymz Mynes for winning the Sportsman Buggy class at the KY State race. Way to make us TCRC racers look good.
