Virus Racing

***UPDATE**

A few quick updates on the Bragging Rights race for everyone. We want to see a bunch of bad ass modified Open class SC out to race. We want to see as many of the 4WD SC out to race as possible also. Both of these classes are new, so that means they are the future of SC. Alone with the fact they are new, rules are vague to say the least which is what we are all discussing right now. So here is what we have come up with for all of you!

Pay your first entry to race in Bragging Rights, $28 for the first class, and you can race in a second class for FREE. So pay for Stock and run Open class or 4WD for FREE. Run your Stock SC in the Stock and Open class if you want to. Two classes of your choice for $28! You can still stick around and run your SC in the electric program later that night for FREE. The A-Main and B-Mains will still get trophies for 1st - 3rd place! I hear other gifts and prizes may get handed out during the event too.

We hope by doing this there is less concern about if the rules will work out or not, but instead encourage everyone to hop up those Open SC and bring them out to see what you have got! Why not, its FREE now.

**UPDATE**

Virus Racing and Proving Grounds announce Bragging Rights. This race is our first Short Course truck race and will happen on January 23 racing starts at 10:00AM doors open at 7:30AM. We will only run two classes of Short Course vehicles, Stock and Open Class. All makes and manufacturers Short Course vehicles will be allowed to run. Three six minute qualifiers and six minute mains for each class. Presonal transponders are recommended, but house transponders are available. As the title of the race indicates, we want to know what SC is the best! Kyosho, Traxxas, AE, Losi, HPI, who is it going to be who wins the Bragging Rights?

Entry fee for this race will be $28 for the first entry and $15 for each additional. Trophies will be provided for 1st - 3rd place in the A, and B mains. Also, after the Bragging Rights SC race is complete, we invite you to stick around and run your SC in the evenings Electric Saturday night program for FREE. A whole day of racing, trophies, and best of all....Bragging Rights!

We at Virus Racing would like to send out get well wishes to one of our brethern, Paul Padilla.  Yesterday evening, December 09, Paul had an unfortunate auto accident and hit a tree.  Paulie will be in the hospital for the next several days, and he says visitors are welcome.  Wishing you a quick recovery Paulie! As soon as you can, drag your gimp ass down to the track and we will do the rest. Take care brother.

I would like to give a special thanks to Jim Stafford from JSPhotography. If you have been paying attention, Jim has been out a couple times now to Proving Grounds taking photos of our RC racing. His plans are to continue to come out and photograph some of our big events. If you were out and raced in the Holiday Classic race on Nov. 29 photos from the event are already up on Jim's web site. Jim was out last night and has a bunch of photos from the club race that he will be posting very soon. To check out the photos you can visit Jim's web site at:

You will notice Jim has an interest in photographing anything that has to do with racing in any form it may present itself. Our kind of guy!
