News Flash:  Big Pit Gate attendance at Modelville/LenJet Raceway on Nov 18th for the LenJet 499.  A great crowd of 17 racers from Maine,CT,Mass and R.I. hit the tracks at Peter Lentro’s mega-spectacular racing facility in Ashland,MA last Sat. for another thrilling East Coast HO Outlaws race. Lots of fun,friendship and food thanks to our great host with the most,Peter Lentros.  And who couldn’t pass arm NOS DASH arms for only $3 a piece. Wow.

Speaking of Wow, you should have seen the beautiful AW GTO that Don Hall had for the Hobby Stock Class. Prettiest dang metalflake blue color ever. In keeping with the tradition, he did wall it on the first lap to make it look more authentic. SO,yeah,,,,we started out with the Hobby Stocks over on the Champion track which was way more cool than past events on the Shamrock Glenn track,(which I suck on mostly is why). Puttin’n the most laps on the sheets again like he did at the ECHORR Challenge, the Winner in Hobby Stocks is Greg B with 82 laps. 2nd and 3rd places both had 81 laps but Flash had a handful of more sections than Dave L.did this time. 4th and 5th places also tied with 80 laps with Peter L.having more sections than Greg W.

A mega fast feast of some great local pizza’s again refueled us old guys so we could get racing the ECHORR Indy cars on the historic orange Car Model Magazine fiberglass track. Speed bankings and all were no challenge for our open-wheeled chariots of early years vintage and the driving psychology/talent showed clearly that a clean nerf with those .460 rear tires can make a difference between first and last place.  The First and Second place guys both had 117 laps but the Pro, Peter Lentro’s, only had a 6 track section margin of victory  over Paul Ryer. Third place was Flash with 116 laps followed by Dave L., Rudy U and Don Hall, each with 115 laps.

Few guys had to leave prior to the SS race, maybe cuz the pizza was kicking in, who knows, but those that stayed had a blast as we cranked out some wicked nice lap speeds/totals on Peter’s newest track.  Slot racing guru, Greg B.(aided by his lovely assistant/i.e. beloved bride-wife) claimed another First Place plaque of the day by logging 103 laps on the Python track. 2nd place was Dave L.with 101 and 3rd place was Flash with 100. Fourth was Peter L.with 97 and 5th place was Paul R.with 95. Steve N.was 6th with 94 followed by Rudy with 92 laps. 8th-Greg W:90 laps. 9th-Jimmy C:89 laps. 10th-Jim H:86 laps. 11th-Ron D:84 laps. 12th-Bob W:83 laps. 13th-Dick G:82 laps and 14th was Don H.with 81 laps.

Be SURE to check out the ECO Website for info on Greg B’s next race coming up in early Dec. in southern Mass. Most likely will also be our annual deluxe body modeling-Christmas Gift exchange event, so make a bunch cuz Santa’s watching ya know!!
