Lou's Road Course



Gerding Flat Track

Mark, sounds like you've already done plenty of homework towards getting ready for next year's Scale Nats!

I look forward to helping brainstorm and contributing any ideas that will help to make this a great Nats! If each year we continue to learn from the previos year to improve on the next year, it can only get even better!

The Hotel race provides added potential for showcasing our hobby to the media and the public as well, opening up even more potential for promotional ideas.

I'm already getting ideas to take advantage of the Hotel format can provide...

The wheels are already spinning... !

Just maybe, because we'll be next to a major airport, will we get more International racers showing up. Hope so.

[SLICE]

Hotel race. Near Philly. USRA getting closer all the time. Can't wait until April. Will Keystone or Lou's raceway be having any warm up races?

[mark g]

Lou and myself decided warm ups would be a bad idea, This way only our regulars get a chance to practice up!

BTW ,Slice I found you that ocean front property in central Pa.


Ofcourse we will have various warm ups through out the year,We will annouce them here as things progress.

Thanks!

[SpaceCowboy]

Mark is that per person or can two split a room? Just weighing some options. Thanks in advance.

[Slapshot]

Mark will have to give you the promo or rate code for his group rates he aquired. Most have 2 double beds at (non group rate) 109.00

i have raced at this venue twice on this track. For those that are complaining about not racing on a king i hope that you will give this track a try. It is a very good track that will test all aspects of our abilities to drive and build cars. the track is smooth and very fast, so bring your good stuff. With Mark and Lou working together this will be a nats to rember and will be up there with the best of all the scale nats.
Mark has done this in the interest of promoting slot cars and giving it the most publicity possible. He will no doubt be scarficing his profits that he could have made by holding it at his track, so the least that we all can do is to get behind this race and do all that we can to help promote and by all means attend this event.
iI attended the two races that the amsra has put on at this venue and i have had a great time at both events. With the addition of lou piros flat track and more pit spac this will not doubt be a great event.
I will do all that i can to make this a great race.
