Motor City Raceway race/news

There's less than one week until Oshawa's Motor City Raceway's 2nd club race. This is the message posted on MCR's forum:

Next Race Sat. Jan. 22nd:
Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Our software delay issues have been resolved, so we will be starting ON TIME and have everyone home in time for dinner.
Please register a few days ahead of time so we are able to get all the names in the system which helps make the day go smoother:

I think I will only be running my RB5 in the Open 2WD for this one. It's all ready to go. I rebuilt the shocks, cleaned off all the carpet fuzz, and rewired the entire car. It's looking great! I'll post some pics of it soon.

Also announced, was the news that MCR plans on running offroad & onroad simultaneously in the near future! That's right, two tracks in on location. Other than FastCats, I'm not sure if any other track in the GTA (maybe even Ontario) has had both formats simultaneously in one location before. Here was the announcement posted on MCR's forum:

ANNOUNCEMENT....
Starting in the very near future, Motor City Raceway will be hosting on-road racing in addition to our off-road program. That's right - TWO tracks in one convenient location. More details to follow however, get your on-road cars dusted off and ready for some ozite-racing action at Motor City Raceway.
See you all at the races.

Apparently, the offroad track will remain the same size, (100'x40') and in the same gym as it's been in the past. The onroad track will be in the smaller gym, but still a great size at 80'x40'. The first few race days, onroad will just be run as open practice, until they can gauge the interest in the onroad crowd. Personally, I'm looking forward to running my Sprint2, hopefully there will be either a 17.5 or a 21.5 rubber TC class.
