Hi Guys,
FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (12th April) for our 2018 Group B classes - Rally Car (RC), Slot.It Challenge (SC), Formula 1 (F1). Once we get some feedback on entries for our two latest classes American Pony Car Sportsman (APCS) and GT Sportsman (GTS), we will start scheduling them into our regular events. As always, we'll run special IROC races for newcomers if we have at least two new drivers present.
We plan to start at 8:30PM sharp. Here's the usual schedule:
Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.
