It's Official...

As of October 1st I have taken on the responsibility of organizing and directing races, creating this season's schedule, overseeing the overall operations of Universal Raceway, and most importantly making sure YOU come first.

In 2011 Universal Raceway became Canada's largest indoor offroad carpet track. Like many of you I lined up on opening day to be one of the first to play on our latest and greatest track. And like many of you I questioned some of the rules and operational policies and simply asked myself, "why?".

This 2012/2013 season will be different. While you and I will miss some of the familiar faces, this year will offer us a fresh start.

As of October 1st the following changes will be made...
- Food; bring what you want or buy what we have...your choice
- Direct access to the track, no more locked doors
- Track will open and close as per our schedule, no exceptions
- 8th scale will have separate practice from 10th scale, on race days
- A full-season schedule from October to March has been created
- I have revamped our points series to include multiple days to choose from and more drops

We have a packed schedule of races for this season, created with you in mind. The best RC facility is one that is run by our hobby and for our hobby and that is what I will do. Universal Raceway is not the best track in Canada, but it will be.

My phone is always on, so please call me directly if you have a question, concern or suggestion.....416....276-0910.

Re: It's Official...

just one question on the schedule. Would you throw an F1 class if requested and ONLY if there was enough racers?

Awesome. We will run F1 no matter how many show up. I've got some great ideas for "Draw & Shoot" racing that works for large or small numbers.
