Martin Petre memorial glorcs race
I can't pass-up the opportunity to pay homage to an amazing friend, and mentor to so many of us, Martin 'The Silver Bullet' Petre.
Few would argue that Martin helped to shape R/C racing in southern Ontario. He had an exceptionally long history in the hobby, and was admired by everyone who knew him. Yes, others have passed away that we all knew, and we miss them dearly as well, but Martin simply brought a whole different level of passion to our hobby. Martin Petre is more than deserving of a race in his name, and on behalf of ALL OF US, I'd like to give it to him. Beginning in 2011, the last race of the GLORCS series each year, will now be in Martin's honor. Thus, it will be held at Vineland Speedway on September 23-25 for 2011. It's with a heavy heart that I present this race, but also with some excitement. Martin's son Derek said his father would have liked us to remember the good times, so that's exactly what we will be doing once a year for a long time to come hopefully. This one's for you Martin!!! INTRODUCING THE 1ST ANNUAL MARTIN PETRE MEMORIAL GLORCS RACE |

I think this is a great idea. Thank you for setting this up. We will be honoured to host this race this year. Martin has helped me greatly with Average Joe's R/C, and his advice helped me create a successful business model to bring the fun back into the hobby.
The best part about this idea is that the Vineland Speedway Podium was actually built by Martin. I love forward to making this an amazing race for everyone to attend in Martin's name. |

maybe everybody needs to run some green in their paint scheme for this race, heck we could even have a roll of green tape to dress up your favorite body, and "silver bullet" stickers are already in the works
