This weekend will be fun! We will see some “sideways” driving from the guys at DARC this Saturday.
Here’s a pic of the racers gathered around the race director’s table for a Pre-Race Driver’s Meeting.

This is the final race results from Saturday’s R/C races. All together we had 16 cars racing on Saturday.

Here’s my plan for a track layout on Saturday, May 23. Last Saturday we learned a ton about what to do to make the racing much more efficient.
Well if you didn’t already hear the news, last Saturday’s race was rained out. There were a few of us (me and Nick Sainz) who were just goofing off with our waterproof Traxxas Slash trucks just splashing around in the puddles.
Hopefully next Saturday’s weather will be better for parking lot racing.
Meanwhile, check out this post from “themitch22” regarding making a R/C car body from a 3D scan…

I just read the bulletin from North Texas SKYWARN® and it says we will see a repeat of last night’s thunderstorms again tonight. All storms will pass over DFW by 6 AM tomorrow morning and the rain will stop and by 1 PM tomorrow the parking lot should be dry enough to put a layout down. This is good news for tomorrow evening’s parking lot races. I plan to use last week’s layout plan for tomorrow’s race. (See pic from 2 posts earlier)
Weather is looking great for tomorrow. A little warm, high at 93° F, but no chance of rain. There will be lots of new faces showing up to race, so I want everybody to show up at 5:00 pm to get set-up and ready for their races 1-hour ahead of our start time. Please don’t forget to bring a table and chair tomorrow so you can set up your personal pit space.

We had a great turn-out this last Saturday with 10 people racing. The list below shows the results from the main races.
FYI, we are taking a day off from racing next Saturday, June 13.
Tomorrow’s weather is looking really good for outdoor RC racing. With this weekend being Father’s Day, I am expecting a dozen or more racers to show up and put some laps down.
Reach out to all makers, Do any of you have a swamp cooler we could use? @David_Walker, do you have a Gatorade style cooler? We could fill it with ice water as it will be warm tomorrow.
It might be nice to have. if not, no big deal.
We had a great day of RC racing in the parking lot at DMS today. Here’s a couple pics of the group that showed up.

Here’s a great video I found on YouTube of couple F1 r/c cars racing in a parking lot. This was filmed from a drone.

@David_Walker Cool video and thanks for keeping all this RC going. For everyone else, this was our 7th rc race event at DMS. We are growing in participation every week and I wanted to thank everyone that has helped and participated.

I had a brief discussion with @lukeiamyourfather on Sunday about getting some racing footage from Luke’s drone. He said that he will have a drone ready in the next few weeks and could come to our Saturday race to get some footage.
