Amore, Master of the Bull Rings, Dominates Randy’s 10th Anniversary Race
Tuesday April 19th Randy’s Raceway held an IROC style race on the original track of his club, the tricky tri-oval.

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.
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…]
