(updated 2-8-10) - 2010 Will bring new faces, great races,
and a new Class to OTR! 2010 Racing Season is less than
3 months away!
Well after a spectacular 2009 Racing Season at
OTR Speedway we are headed for Opening day 2010! Even though racing action is
still months away we are never idle at OTR Speedway. There are already lots of
plans in the works for the 2010 season. We will be installing new retaining
walls, rebuilding turns 1 & 2 in an effort to create a multi groove corner and
there are other projects in the works. We will also be bringing in another 16
tons of racing surface material to build the surface up. It is sure to be a great season as we
celebrate the beginning of the next decade! Some other changes include the
addition of a new racing class at OTR Speedway. This season we will be running
1/10th Nitro Sprints as car counts allow. I have already built 3 Nitro Sprint
cars and there are a few local drivers building them as well. They are
truck/buggy based and will follow the same rules pattern as the other 1/10th
scale classes. Check out our Racing Classes section for more information.
More
changed for the 2010 racing season include switching for a special event race
schedule to a bi-weekly racing schedule. With the great attendance growth in
2009 we will be changing things up to bring more race nights to our racers. We
still plan to run Saturday Nights under the lights so be sure to have your pit
lights and power cords ready! In an effort to make the most of our racing
schedule we will be coordinating with Inner Child Hobbies so that we will have a
seamless racing schedule throughout the summer season. Inner Child Hobbies will
be running both Oval and Off-road racing every other weekend so there's plenty
of racing to go around in the Twin Tiers! Class rules and platforms for Inner
Child Hobbies will be the same ours here at OTR Speedway. For information on
Off-road classes feel free to contact Scott at Inner Child Hobbies. See their ad
below more contact information.
Another
important date coming up this sprint is the 2010 Edition of the R/C Expo at the
Wysox Racing Expo on a date TBA. We had a great turnout last year for some hot
and fast oval action on the asphalt last year. Being able to accompany the full
scale car show was really a delight and offered both sports some
cross-advertising and let us show them these toys are not your garden variety
Radio Shack R/C! Some of the speeds and crashes on the asphalt did impress and
this years Expo should be a great deal of fun once again. Check back for more
information as dates and times are announced.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding OTR Speedway, our
location, our classes and rules, or just any questions in general as always feel
free to contact me directly via E-mail or Phone.

The
2009 Season opener here at OTR Speedway was nothing short of fantastic! We had
34 entries in through 5 classes and there was some very entertaining racing! The
new 1/10 Electric Sprint class was a huge success with 8 entries and should be a
great addition to the racing lineup at OTR Speedway. This season there are a lot
of racers sporting EDM bodies on their 1/10 trucks so we are starting to look
more like their full scale cousins every race! The weather was fantastic and for
the next round of racing we'll be starting in the evening and finishing up the
mains under the lights. If you missed this round be sure to write down June 6th
on your calendar for the next raceday. As always we encourage newcomers and
interested parties to attend our events so that you can give out R/C oval racing
a try. Come out and join the fun you won't be disappointed! In addition to some of the changes at OTR Speedway for the 2009 season
will be a $5 fee per entrant this year. With the growing costs of operation we can
only continue providing the facility and surrounding grounds at a small fee to
the racers. The $5 per entrant will covers each racer for multiple classes and kids under 16
always race for free. This money will be directly put back into the racing facility. It will also help with maintenance of track
equipment and AMB transponder service. We would again like to thank all of the
supporters that turn out week in and week out. It's you the racers that make all
this possible! Thank You and we'll see you at the track!!! ~ The management.

This is a website
dedicated to the sport of R/C cars, trucks,
and dirt oval racing. If you have one R/C vehicle or many you'll find that building and racing them against others can be a blast!
At OTR Speedway it is our goal to promote a fun-filled environment for dirt-oval
and off-road racing. At OTR Speedway our track motto is:
"Dirt
is for Racing, Asphalt is for getting there."
If
you have any questions or would like to try your skills racing dirt oval give us
a call and we can arrange a time when you can stop by. I am usually available
evenings and of course on race nights. And as many of you know my goal is
simple; Get
people into the hobby of R/C and above all have fun! If you stop by and want to
give it a try I'll be glad to let you take the wheel. As I like to say "There
you go... try and break it!". There's only one way to learn and that's to get
hands-on. It's a good time and a great way to meet new people. Thanks for
stopping by and we hope to see you at the races! Gentlemen... Start your
Engines! *cough* or chargers.... LOL :-)
