The Michigan Monsters of RC will be holding a outdoor grass race on Sunday August 8th. Elimination style Monster Jam racing will be held. This is our first get together for our Club and all MT's are welcome. This is short notice but this race is just for fun so we can get some practice in and discuss our plans further for the future. Really this started as just Jon and I going to race together but I figured might as well get this ball rolling and invite anybody who would like to come out and join us! You can come with your family and kids as I have playground equipment and a swimming pool. You can arrive at 11am and racing will start at 12 noon. I don't expect a big number of people but even a few will be fun for the first time. This is the start of something for two dedicated racers who want to be able to race more.

Location address :

9105 Nashville Hwy
Vermontville, Michigan
49096
Phone : 517-726-0225

We have a small convenience store at the corner a 1/2 mile from my house, bring a extension cord and a pit table. I will have the barn open for pitting or you can bring a small pop up tent. More and more will be added as this club continues to grow.

PM me with any questions or info needed and I will be happy to respond!

Thanks everyone for your support in this venture for Jon and I, we are excited about it.

My boy Zane and I built up two strips of shells today for the "crushed cars" jumps. Then I built up a track this evening for the weekend. 50ft. X 70ft. overall area. 3 - 7ft lanes per side, and we can move the outside lane out some more. Once I get the area to the right of the track done I will have at least another area this size and then some.

Start at the ramp and jump the cars, turn to the inside lane and hit the ramp then turn around the car, turn back to the center lane and jump the cars, then turn to the outside lane and drag to the finish. Might add a dirt jump tomorrow on the outside lane, we'll see after running it a few times. Now that I look at the pics the outside lane will for sure be moved out some.

Well this is my first official Monster Track, hope you guys like it.







I think the strips of cars turned out good. I mounted them onto wood so the whole strip comes up as one and will not get moved around when you hit them.





I will update with pics and video as the weekend unfolds. :willy

It turned out pretty good, flows real good and you can really get the speed up since we have 70ft straights. I had Morgan come out today cause he could not make it tomorrow and we got to run for a little while. It was a blast! Can't wait for tomorrow. :willy

We will keep you posted for October.

What a great day!

We had a solid turnout of trucks and had a ball today. Weather was great and we managed to miss the rain, it came early today before the race. Big thanks to all who came out and joined us. Track was fun and fast and we had some great racing. Novice class was a blast for Zane and Josh, they were laughing the whole time they were racing and it was so funny watching them run. They are two racers at heart and they will be running for some titles in no time. The Troops Truck ran sweet and what a cool prize from our great forum here. All of the trucks ran great today, had a few fix em ups and everybody stayed running.

Got some good pics of the day and now I have to find out how to edit some races and put them all to one video. I have never done that before and I would like to add some music to them so I will be working on that and will post when I get done.

Enjoy! :pics :tmb
