Cooler temps brought lots of heat at Checkered Flag R/C Raceway this past weekend for the “2013 Sprint Dirt Oval Classic” sponsored by Matt Gorman and Farm Bureau.

With a car count at 91 and the outside air temperatures cooler at 67 Deg. F the competition was challenged…beating and banging to take home some hardware. With new faces in the winners circle this week, it just proves that anyone can win at any given week at Checkered Flag R/C Raceway regardless of the conditions. Thanks to all that attended the race and faced the cooler temps. You can check out today’s racing results here.

Be sure to mark your calendars for the next points race on June 9th.

May 272013

What a great day at Checkered Flag Raceway. We finally got our 10 Anniversary season underway on May 26, 2013 and we would like to say thank you Mother Nature. We had a total of 89 cars and the racing wasn’t that bad for as many of us that haven’t raced in 6 months. We want to thank all of you that made it out and we hope to see you again next week for the Spring Dirt Oval Classic sponsored by Matt Gorman. There will be practice this Thursday (May 30th) from 5pm – 8pm. Once again thank you for all your support and to all the guys that help out at the track. We couldn’t do it without any of you.

Snow Blowing to Dirt Slinging

Mar 172013

Hello again everyone. As we start to put away the snow shovels and snow blowers that can mean only 1 thing. We are only a few short weeks away from the season opener at Checkered Flag R/C Raceway.

This being the 10th Anniversary of what started out as a handful of racers wanting a place to hang out and rub some fenders to achieve bragging rights for the weeks to come has now turned out to be one of the best dirt oval tracks in the Midwest. This season should be the best season ever. Tim, Donna, and their behind the scenes crew have been working feverishly hard this off season with what some would call an “Extreme R/C Makeover”.

So when the time comes to pull up onto the track this season please remember “rubbin” may be racing, but sportsmanship earns respect.

On behalf of Skip, Donna and myself THANK YOU. With the help of you the racers, retired racers and your families we were able to make a big donation to the Rupard family to handle Jim’s affairs. Once again we showed how much of a family the R/C community is. I know Jim was looking down watching the races and enjoying every minute of it.

Jim Rupard’s Family

We had 82 cars take to the track for a Fun day of races. Congrats to all the winners. We also want to congratulate our Season Champions and all the racers for making this another great season at CFR.

A new award was started this year, The Jim Rupard Rising Star Award. This award will be given out every year to the racer, no matter what age, who has a positive attitude and continues to improve. The winner of this years award was Billy Lutz.

Our racing will continue on October 14th with Donna’s 3rd Annual Halloween Havoc. Details will be coming out shortly for the event.

Once again thank you all!!! Sept. 23 racing results can be found here. Season Champions can be seen here.
