Well I am working still on finding a place but in the meantime I am getting stuff together for building a track. We may have something temporary the first season until we can find a permanent spot.
I will keep the updates coming as things progress here.

Despite all the snow, we are still on track.
Ive contacted the owner of the old track that Ken Walton started, he still has it. I think its apart and will need some work, but I am still negotiating with him about whether we run at his place or take the track somewhere else.
I am going on a scouting mission Feb 24th to visit the old track, and do some scouting around for possible track sites if I need to.
Still working on a lap counting system. I have one located and am trying to get in touch with the owner.
I have right now a solid 6 racers. 2 more guys with cars that I havent contacted yet, I hope they will join us. I also have a few more interested and I will be building cars for guests to drive and try out. Things are always picking up, and I am encouraged by how its all progressing.
I will continue to update as I have info. Thanks for looking

Whats that smell..... its sure not nitro yet? Oil burner? Maybe that smell George is the smoke coming out of your ears when you think too much about race cars? Sorry but modern medicine hasnt come up for a cure for that one yet.... you are going to have to live with it until you can get a nitro engine running. Thats the only thing that can come close to curing you. So yes we had a productive day saturday. We went up and found the old track, and its ours for the taking. Right now its buried under a large snow and ice bank, but a few more warm days and we should be able to get at it. I have posted a pic of the old track on the gallery page of the website, or you can see it here: rocketrc.com/images/The_Old_Track.jpgWe also scouted out some great sites to race at in the Derry area and Im currantly working on a flyer and brochure to promote what we do, and explain to potential site owners what we would be doing on their property etc. Things are shaping up nicely for this spring. We are also getting closer to having a lap counting system, I will keep you posted on how that goes. Thanks again George for all the help, and Kevin for listening to me babble every time I call. We are getting there guys! Im off to go build cars! |

Well the latest update on racing here is that the 6 foot high snow and ice pile that was ontop of the old track is finally melted!! Thanks to scouting reports from Kevin and George, we are going to retrieve it this coming sunday. It will push the start of racing out a bit because we were hoping to have this together earlier, but its all going to come together. The official name of the club over here will be: NEMSCOR New England Model Stock Car Oval Racers The website is being built now, and I am shooting for having it done in early May. It will be: www.nemscor.comStay tuned for more info! |
