| The preparations for the 2nd Annual International Grand Prix at Homestead Miami Speedway hosted by Homestead RC Raceway are well under way.
Entry forms are available for download. All racers will be provided with free covered pit space, pit table and chair. Arrangements have been made for preferred parking inside the Homestead Miami Speedway by entry through a VIP gate.
The Homestead Miami Speedway track crew is helping Homestead RC Raceway to prepare our racing surface. They are doing some of the same things they do on their 1 ½ mile track to help with tire wear and improve traction.
The RC Car Race Track area for the Int’l Grand Prix will be prepped with abrasive materials to minimize sharp edges on the surface. Next the surface will be further improved with the actual burning and rubbing in of natural rubber.
When this is completed several well known racers will test the surface to make sure we have a quality racing surface for some great racing at the International Grand Prix.

| Homestead RC Raceway invites you to a free test and tune practice day on the track that will be used for the 2nd Annual International Grand Prix.
Homestead Miami Speedway has been very kind and given us permission to build our temporary track for this event on site a week early. We would like to take advantage of this opportunity and make the track available for a free test and tune day, this coming Saturday, March 22nd.
This will be an excellent opportunity to get a feel for the layout, work on set ups and figure out tire selection.

| I am in the process of changing Homestead RC Raceway's Photo Albums. I am pretty sure this change will allow us to have more pictures, bigger pictures and with much better quality. The first beta album is listed on the Main Menu as 2008 IGP Photos. Take a look and let me know what you think.
