---------------------6/28/08------------------
Just a reminder we will be having our 4th annual free
4th of July race for both onroad and offroad this
Friday. Racing is planned to begin between 5:00 and
6:00. Plan to stay after the races for free for food and
for front row seats to the city of Lincolns Fireworks
show. Parking will be reserved for racers and their
families where we normally park during weekly races.
Don't forget that this Tuesday July 1st will be our
monthly club meeting. Please remember that we
will having it at the rib Ranch on 66th and 'O' St. This
will be a important for all to attend with the 5th scale
Nats. coming up as well as the proseries race. I know
that there are quite a few racers that have different
views on what we should do about the off road track
for the pro series race so this is a good time to let
your vice be heard.

Well I guess this would be a good time to update you
all about a few things happening. First I hope
everyone is safe on this very stormy night.
The past couple weeks we have had the Fireball
Classic race as well as a HOA race. Check the results
to see were you finished. The weather held out for
the Fireball race but we were unable to get Sunday in
for the HOA race. Both Races were attended well
with great racing. MRO would like to thank Byron's
Fuel, Delta, Jaco Tires for there support at the
FireBall Race.
The next MRO meeting will be Tuesday July 1st at Rib
Ranch located at 66th & O st. This is right next to the
McDonald's. The meeting will still be at 7:00 pm.
They said that we will able to use the back room at no
cost as long we all eat ( I don't think that will be a
problem) . This will be an important meeting
because we have the upcoming 4th of July race and
th 5th scale Nats. So we have a lot of things that
need to taken care of.
-----------------------5/8/08--------------------
Some exciting news for MRO was made offical this week. We
were selected to hold the ROAR 1/5th scale Nationals which will
be held July 31st through August 3rd. Make sure to mark your
calenders to come out and watch some of the coolest RC cars
around. I will updating more info as we get closer to the event.
Don't forget that the Fireball Classic will be coming up soon.
Memorial Day weekend is the date for this event. If you
haven't signed up yet please do so soon so we can make sure
you get a t-shirt for preregistering. If you need to sign up be
sure click on the Fireball logo on this page or you can go to rc
signup and register you can click on that logo.
Now hopefully one of these Fridays we will be able to race
some off road. We just need it to quit rainig on Fridays. Be
sure to check here on race days to see if racing has been
canceled due to rain.
Finally I would like to let everyone know that you will be
recieving a free t-shirt with your annual MRO membership this
year so once we get the t-shirts from the printers we will be
handing them out to everyone that pays for a membership.

Just want to let everyone know that the track is ready for
racing. We have had a lot of great help the past couple weeks
to get it ready.
Everything is a go we put in a new start finish loop before pit
lane on the straight away. I hooked everything up and tested it
tonight and its counting. So no issues with that. We bought a
new printer with plenty of ink so no issues with that.
I know that a lot people are anxious to get racing locally so
come on down and race all of you from up north!!! Or wherever
you may reside. All of the Lincoln guys seem to be geared up
as we had about ten guys running tonight!!
One last thing I will be running the races again on Friday nights
and I am excited to get things rolling.
There is a lot of people to thank for all there help this spring.
Jason, Jesse, Lance, Will, Reed, Carl, Kris, Jay, Nate, Steve,
Mark, Mike, one other new guy that I can't remember his
name, and whoever else that I forgot thanks.
--------------------04/23/08-------------------
I just need to say a big thanks goes out to Jay Secreast that
helped me out quite a bit with the track this spring he will be
one of the new racers this summer and he has been out
helping work on the track nearly everyday for the last ten
days.
Please everyone come out and race here in Lincoln its a new
season with a lot positive changes that will make for a great
season of racing.
Sign up starts at 6:30 with racing at 7:00
MRO would like to thank Dan and Chelsy Schmidt owners of
the SouthPointe HobbyTown. They made a very generous
donation to the club this week. Please make sure to thank
Dan and or Chelsy the next time you stop by the store.
Please return the favor by giving them your business. The
local hobby shops are what keep these tracks going. If it
wasn't for them Lincoln nor Omaha would no have any
where to race. Due to the fact that we do have very
generous hobby shops we collectively have the nicest on
road, carpet, and off road tracks in the nation all within a
hour of each other. No online store did anything to help this
happen. And no online store has dedicated employees to
make our local tracks work like we do.
I also want to let everyone know also that I have been
listening to what the racers have been asking and have been
ordering and stocking more racer type stuff at the SP HTU. I
have ordered in bunch of different pre mounted truggy
tires, engines, pipes, Losi lipo receiver and starter box batts.,
Losi buggy rims, Byron's fuel (that we have nearly sold out
already but will be getting more) the associated servos(the
ace ones) and many more things. Dan has given me a lot of
freedom to get the things the racers want and need. I will be
getting a better idea of what people need chassis wise once
the racing begins and I know what everyone is running and
what seems to be the more popular chassis raced
Thanks
Just a little update we got pit lane built so now it will be taller
and wider the height measures about 3 foot high and top is
about 7 foot wide we also built a bench on it for your starter
box truck or buggy.I went out and laid out the pipe where it will
go. We still have a lot of work that needs to be done I hope to
get more dirt so we can finish all the jumps.I hope to be out at
the track working in the evenings this week from 3 till ?? So
anyone that wants to help would be greatly appreciated
