| Congrats to the homestead raceway. The race went well this weekend and John and his crew prepaired very well. Also a big thanks to david larry for the computer help and doug m. for Running the races. I did not hear any complaints and it seemed that all the people I talked to liked the track. Hopefully next time we will have more locals with cars to race. Again congrats guys.

| I agree with all of these congratulations, but let's not forget to congratulate our winners, DJ Apolaro and Scotty Gray. Both did a phenemoenal job considering the level of competition. I also want to commend Danny Horta and Andrew who was a fierce competitors out there, but the cards were not in their favor this time around. D.J., my personal congratulation again for a great race! Lastly, we can not thank or congratulate John enough so I am going to say it again. John, without you none of this would have taken place. Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!!

| John, you and your crew are off to a great start with Homestead RC Raceway. The Fordass Race was a blast with very close and fair racing. We saw some really close racing in the finals with the winners being decided in just the last few laps. Congrat's on providing a really fun weekend of racing.
Can you give a number or e-mail to express our thanks and feelings to the Speedway?

| It was a great show. I got some good action pics. Mostly from the a-mains. It took me awhile to get the camera settings right. So they're not as nice as the ones Jarod takes, but I got some good ones. I'll post them up in a couple of days, i have to sort through 300+ pics. Good job everyone. I hope I'll be able to get back into this again soon.

| John, I noticed you have a race in march. It is the same weekend as a state race. Are you going to works things with them to see if they can alter their dates, as I know you can not since it is the date a homestead race?

| DEEJ I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THOSE DATES SO IT IS WHAT IT IS. RC PRO SERIES IS PROMOTING THIS AS AN INTERNATIONAL RACE. THERE SHOULD BE QUITE A FEW ENTRIES THEY ARE GOING TO PROMOTE THE HECK OUT OF THIS RACE CAUSE THEY WANT THE EXPOSURE FOR THE HOBBY. KEEP AN EYE ON RC PRO SERIES WEBSITE FOR DEVELOPING INFORMATION. ALL ENTRIES INCLUDE A TICKET TO THE IRL RACE TOO. SOON I WILL START A NEW THREAD ON THIS RACE. THERE WILL BE SOME BIG NAMES COMING TO RACE IN THIS BAD BOY!! THANKS,JOHN RODRIGUEZ

| Thanks for the compliments. I know I can do better shots, but I hadn't done R/C pics for awhile and they're tougher than full size cars. Add the new camera that I'm still getting used to and I had a ton of wasted shots. I took about 300 shots while I was there, and those that I posted were the only useable ones. I have some ideas for next time. I'm going to try to go this weekend for the race.
I definitely enjoyed watching the action again on a big track. I'll probably jump back into this shortly after the new year. I have lots of catching up to do. DJ and Andrew have gotten so much faster. When I was around last, whenever Danny showed up, it was pretty much lights out for us, but I see they've closed the gap. I'm gonna have to get some lessons from Andrew this time around :P

| I know you had no control over the dates. But if you could get the state race people to change there date by just one week, then you may get alot of us to go, otherwise all the people in the state race may not be able to show up. It can not hurt to ask.

| Great state race! The compitition was awsome and the racing was very close. This particular win was earned all the way around. Congrates to DJ and others on their win. I know this was no cake walk for the winners since they had to have it all together for this. Seems true team effort was put forth as even the pit men were racing!! This race had great equipment, stratagy, driving, and pitting! Its always a gut renching awsome show when all that comes together!..
