Default Racing on the Hillside!

Another fun race day on the Hillside---

RACERS--

Dennis Samson
Phil Nyland
Tim Neja
John Ostrowski
Dominic Mora
"Corvette" Shelly Licursi AKA--Ball n Chain!!

We had a lot of fun--drank a bit of wine and a few beers and LOT'S of fun racing. We did a LOT of TEST and TUNE as Dom and Shelly had a lot of NIB cars to get tuned up to run. Got a little warm today too compared to lovely 75 degrees yesterday--I think we hit 88 today!!! But--- a VERY nice group of racers enjoying cars and a nice lunch fixed by "Julie"--My Ball n Chain sweetie!!!

First race was D-3 scratch built 1/32 cars---I had enough loaner so everyone got to race of course.
Dennis Samson won with a very smooth drive and I think Phil Nyland was and me . We had a bit of two class racing with Phil Dennis and myself being the experienced racers and John, Dom, and Shelly the "newbies"!! But very close racing between each level of racer. Only a couple of laps separating each group!!

The second race was Slot -it inline cars-- and when the dust settled the podium had me in --Dennis in and Phil Nyland in -- John, Dom, and Shelly all within a couple laps of each other--so very close racing. I got lucky with smooth drive to take the win!

Lunch---Cold cuts / sandwich's turkey/ ham--tomatoes onion lettuce and avocado --with Lettuce salad--potato salad --grapes and Brownies to finish!!! Beer and sodas and wine---NICE!!!!
Thanks Julie

Very fun day---THANK YOU that all attended--and those that didn't make it---YOU MISSED OUT!!!

We'll have another race perhaps in Oct as Dennis Samson who usually runs Pebblestone will be traveling the month of Oct--soo -- stay tuned and we may have another race next month!! I'll have the ceiling and fans/lights installed by then too!!! So this winter---darkness will NOT be a reason not to race!!!
Cya then--
Enjoy racing!!!!

Tim,
Had a great time. You are quite the host. Many thanks to you and your lovely "ball n chain" for your hospitality. The track was awesome. Pictures dont do it justice size-wise. I also want to thank you, Dennis, and Phil for sharing knowledge with a total newbie. I look forward to the next event!

Okay---we won't be racing on the Hillside first week of Oct. Pebblestone will be active!! Dennis will be announcing soon.
We can do a "test and tune" day if the "newbies" would like that? Or --setup your new cars-- pick a weekend in Oct and we can do it!! Maybe a Sunday date would be better for some?? Let me know.
Thanks
Tim
