Preview of Summer 2009 Off Road Racing - as provided from JazJato(aka El Guapo)
 
O.K Guys as promised I was able to get a hold of Zerb, and gather a little more info on the up coming season.

First off although we all feel the weather has broke, the ground out there is still a mess.  Don't forget if you drive past the track Zerb lives next to a swap.  The reports are the tracks themselves are in good shape and dry.  It is the land surrounding them that is preventing getting any equipment onto them to rebuild for the start of the season.  The pipes should be up the next week or so, and track design is in progress.  Should weather continue like it is we'll be able to get out there, and get our stuff dialed in April, but official opening will be May.  I think they would rather say May and start early than say April and start late.

I did also confirm that there will in fact be a raised pit lane Thumbs Up  Oak Hill will also continue to run it's 3 tracks dirt oval, electric off road, and nitro off road.  Track maintenance will be done weekly, to provide the smoothest off road tracks possible Azn

Also the TOP DOG sticker program will carry over from the carpet season to the off road season.  1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in each main receive a sticker.  Each of which says Oakhill on them along with the words top dog in three differant colors to represent  1st, 2nd, and 3rd place "I'll see if I can get a picture of them posted".  Also the winner of the a-main for each class will receive a coupon good for the following week entitling them to race their first class at half price. That's 6 bucks sweet Shocked

The race schedule has been completed, and will be posted shortly.  Along with that the guys are looking into going wifi so they can get on the forum more frequently to update everyone with the goings on "weather reports, results, etc.".

Point races will be consit of two 6 weeks series with at least one drop.  Winner of each series will receive a pit box sticker stating they won which series.  They are considering tracking the points from each series to crown the seasonal champ.

Two trophy races scheduled for the season.  The first will be in  July and the second one in August.

Track will be closed on three possible dates: 4th of July because it actually falls on a Saturday, the 3rd week of July, and there is a third I'll get back to you on. 

Electric buggy and nitro buggy will be their own classes, unless a time occurs where only 3-4 show for a particular class.  Then they will race together.  On the weeks they are run separate there will be an additional main run.  This main invites the top 4 from each class to race a 7 minute main for King Of the Hill bragging rights.

There will be larger heats.  So rather than running two heats of four cars they'll run 8 cars in a heat race.  This was considered for for several reasons.  One more exciting races, two keeps the program moving, and 3rd it will help with marsheling.  Nothing like only having 4 drivers to fill 6 marshaling spots for the next race.

I know it's not the will be starting in two weeks response everyone might have been looking for, but I hope it was enough to wet your whistles.  As I get more info I will try to get it out there for everyone Wink

The practice will be for electrics only. The scoring system will be in place
to also allow for practice racing. This will help Oak Hill to fine tune
the system as well as allow those of you interested to get some laps to get a jump on tuning
your car for the fast approaching racing season!

NOTE:
Racers should bring a power strip and extension cord
this weekend to plug in their chargers, etc.
Power will be supplied, but it will probably
be another week before all the receptacles are installed
and functional.
Racers should also bring their own table to pit on.
You may also bring a portable easy up type
tent canopy to pit under if you would like.

 

Dont worry nitro guys, your track is coming along nicely and should be ready soon.
For now we are limiting the tracks to electric only.

The scoring loops will be in place, the concessions will be open as well as
the on site hobby shop. Inventory is limited in the hobby shop, but will
continue to grow over the next few weeks! <

Mini's on the dirt oval!
Some of the guys broke out Mini-T's and tried them on the smaller banked dirt oval. Initial reports are that it was great! The late model bodies worked fine and the cars hooked up.

 

The EDM Mini bodies may also be pretty cool on a dirt oval.

 

The off road electric track is excellent. A couple minor adjustments and it will be complete. The nitro off road track is under construction and coming along nicely!

 

Looks like a wet weekend, but hopefully progress can be made while dodging raindrops!

Track Progress!
The weather has allowed Oak Hill to move forward
with track building and maintenance!
The small oval is clear and ready! Some of the Oak Hill
guys have run it a few times now and say that the surface condition
is perfect!

 

The large oval has some new jumps installed and
is coming along well.
It should be ready very soon.

 

The new large track is about 1/3 complete.
It looks like this will be the flagship
of the Oak Hill Rc Speedway.

 

A little rain this weekend, then the weather
looks like it will cooperate for a pretty
good stretch. If things continue to progress
this well, all the tracks should be ready
to go sooner than originally anticipated.
Keep watching this page as well
as the Oak Hill Forum for progress reports!

Spring is in the air!
Oak Hill Rc Speedway has started laying out its new track!
It will take a bit of cooperation from mother nature,
but hopefully things will move along quickly.
Be sure to watch this website for updates and progress!

 


 

Oak Hill has teamed up with Hobby Universe, Inc.
