Racer Appreciation Night, Track Rebuild

Hot Rod Hobbies will be doing a track rebuild to greet the new year with style this Sunday, January 8th! As in the past, Jimmy will be offering a mess of free club race entries to those who show up and help for the entire day! Please be aware that the age requirement for workers is 18 or older, unless you clear it through Jimmy directly.

If you have an idea for a cool new layout, feel free to download the below template and submit your concept to Jimmy for consideration, either via e-mail or by fax, at (661) 255-2196.



Also be aware that our monthly Racer Appreciation Night will be the last race held on the old layout. That will be Friday, January 6th. This is a normal club racing points race starting at 6:00pm as usual, but with special perks; your racing entry fee will be reduced by $5 for every class you run, amounting to $10 for the first entry and $5 for each additional entry!

Everyone who signs up for racing will get free pizza on us, and will be entered into a raffle drawing for free merchandise and club racing, to be given out the day of the race. Come join the fun!
