Brett Gilmore has kept his season going strong even with a change of locations for the weekly Randy’s Raceway show.  The young high school racer completed yet another sweep although another very young racer Peyton Kochel nearly won a segment from Brett.  Gilmore drove a replica Charley Gilmore bodied car making it his 10th win this season.  Sheldon Hiester scored his best mall finish ever coming home second just beating out his young nephew Payton.  Hiester won 3 segments and finished just 2 pieces of track ahead of Payton Kochel (7 years old) who won 3 segments driving a Kenny Gilmore prepared mount.

The Memorial T-Shirt

Thirty-six people showed up at RMS Motorsports fine racing facility on Sunday to pay their respects to Bruce Heller, a long time HO racer who passed in October of 2010 from cancer.

Two racing events were offered to any who wished to compete. Storm Extreme HO’s were donated by Wizzard Racing Products to be used for IROC style competition on both tracks. Racers from many different clubs, representing oval and road course, magnet-car racers and T-Jet racers came together for this special event.

Great Crowd!

Thirty-three racers tried their hand on the RMS oval with cool looking dirt-mod bodies on the cars painted and donated by Bob Amore. The dirt-bodied Extremes rocketed around the fast RMS Oval with several racers making unexpected trips to the floor. When everyone was finished their 4-lane round-robin run, the scores were totaled and 1989 Oval National Champion and 2008-2009 RMS Oval Champ Slammin’ Sam Heller emerged victorious. He finished only two track sections ahead of current RMS Oval track record holder Brett “the jet” Reitz. T-Jet racer Chuck S. surprised all in attendance with his fine 3rd place showing followed by recently crowned “The Series” Super stock champ Jim Singer (4th) and multi-time National Champ R.C. Lincoln (5th). [Read more…]
