Custom Works King of the Wings Oct 3rd

As most of you know mother nature took the feature win at the first try for this years King of the Wings. We are going to try it again and have set a make up date of Oct 3rd. We realize that the reschedule date will make it tough for some to return this year but for those who can this is still going to be an awesome night of racing. We have some killer awards, a little cash, and a ton of race prizes to give away.

Racing will start at 5pm and we expect to run 3 heats and main.

Since the car count will likely be a little lower we have decided to add the 13.5 Late Model class for one last race this season. (State Series rules apply) We will pay back the top 3 in cash and have prizes for the remaining A main drivers.

This may be one of the last nights of the season to get a little mud on the tires. Come on out and have some fun.

Hope to see you there.

Yea! Hopefully this time mother nature will go screw with another part of the world, or at least be kind enough to let us race! If not...well at least a bunch of us know the way to Hooters in Springfield ;)

When I talked to ya about having a photo done, that wasn't what I had in mind.:ha:

It is funny though.

[CShearburn]

Sounds like this race will still have a great turnout. Unfortunately we'll lose a few entries that we had the first time around but can't make the rain-out date, but it also sounds like we are gaining some that couldn't make the first time and can make it this time. I hear most of the Custom Works crew is coming back. :thumbsup:

The microphone issues from last time are fixed and (weather permitting) the track should be in good shape. Should be a good one, can't wait! :greenflag::whiteflag::checkeredflag:

[Sprocket]

The Roberts crew will be there
Brian R. nitro sprints
Charlie H . nitro sprints
Josh H. nitro sprints
Bear R. 13.5 LM
Bear R. elec sprints
Mike V. elec sprints maybe more

[Sonny B]

What time does practice start?


About 2pm. Racing at 5pm.

[schumacher]

electric sprint for me

[jones07racing]

Looks like they are calling for rain.. I dont think I am going to try to make the trip to watch it rain.. 950 miles one way is along way to go to watch it rain.. But good luck to all if you guys get the race in... Lee

[Sonny B]

I understand Lee it's a long way for you to watch the corn grow. The weather has not been racer friendly this season.

Right now were looking at about a 30-40% chance of rain Friday and Saturday. As of today the Saturday forecast is starting to look a little better but who knows.

[CShearburn]

If it were me I'd wait before making the determination on going or not. Every few hours the forecast changes, and its different depending on which weather report you look at.

Personally I prefer them to predict rain for Saturday this early in the week. Usually means we'll be fine... lol.

[smitty]

Would Sunday be a rain day?

[Sonny B]

Would Sunday be a rain day?


Maybe.

I will say it's looking better. The rain percentage is a little less for both days and what rain they are calling for is termed as occasional scattered showers. Not like last time when it was a solid drenching for a couple of days.

If this continues I'm feeling pretty confident that we will get it in Saturday night.

Bring a jacket temps in the mid 50's.

[AJS]

I may get a pardon and be able to attend for the Saturday, not sure yet, just working in it.

[Sonny B]

The weather report is looking better for Saturday. Down to a 20% chance of scattered showers. It will be a little cool but looks like we will be racing.

[4wd#9Nick]

I watched the Springfiled News and it sounded even better!!! Say it isnt so!

[Blues Hockey]

Is the start time still 5:00 P.M.

Thanks

Jason

[Sonny B]

Is the start time still 5:00 P.M.

Thanks

That's the plan. Should be able to get 3 rounds in plus the mains and still be done at a decent time.

[smitty]

[AJS]

Mother nature tried to stop us, but just didn't get it done.

Great time once again, congratulations to all the winners.

Thanks to Sonny, Allen, Mark and Barb, great people who put on a great show.

Thanks to all the sponsors, once again Customworks steps up and makes it interesting and it's nice that they are willing to make that kind of effort here in the Midwest.

[Blues Hockey]

[Sprocket]

Had a blast guys thanks to Allen & Sonny and there sponsors for putting on this event glad the weather held out the track was fast and Mark D did a wonderful job as always keeping the races running smooth . Big thanks to Tim and Jackson for letting me pit in there tent , and Barb for all the good food ( just don't let Mark D eat the chili anymore) congrats to Tom S on winning the main prize of the evening you deserve it my friend. If you didn't make this race this year for sure make it next year it was a good time .:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Landolt]

Thank you for the comments, and thanks to everyone for helping me get back into the sport. Every one i raced with this year has been class A people, it speaks good for dirt oval. I had alot of fun this year, and i am looking forward to next year. Thanks agin, see ya at Smack Track for a little off road action.

[Eugene Ryder]

Good Job Jayrock......you asked me at the beginning of the outdoor season what to buy for HP......well, it seemed to work for ya.......Tekin #1......Good Job getting back into the swing of things......

[Fineousfingers]

Congrats go out to everyone that won at the King! Jay was on game all night!!! Poetry in motion watching that car track around the turns. Thanks goes out to Jay for putting a few tweaks on my machine just before the Mains. It helped a bunch. Also congrats goes out to Shearburn for his win in Nitro. As cold as it was, the nitros were burning up the track. And a BIG atta boy for local legend Tommy Sagle for taking home the Grand Prize - an Arnie Fie built Outlaw with a DXR 3 radio and Novak speed stuff! Look out for Mr. Sagle next year. Like myself, he drives lefty and only has a righty radio before now! Tommy, believe me, it'll help a lot. Shelly Renard gets the Goody's Headache Powder award for having her right front explode into pieces in turn 1 after some minor contact with another car. Thanks goes out to Allen, Barb, Mark, Sonny, Chris and everyone else that put their efforts into keeping dirt oval alive and well at Allen's. The track was fast and everyone there had a great attitude. Time to break out the late models for the winter season. Hope to see everyone again next year, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel!

[Sonny B]

Just want to say thanks to everyone that made it out last night. It was a little cool and windy but the track was fast and the racing was hot.

A big thanks to Allen and Barb for giving us a great place to race. Also to Mark for running a smooth show. A 1 hour rain delay, 3 heats and a main, and done just after 11pm. :thumbsup: Also to Doug Canham for the cool awards.


To all the sponsors you guys rock. The Arnie Fie built Custom Works Outlaw Sprint was very cool and Mr. Sagle was a happy winner. I think every racer went home with a prize or two and a little cash for the top finishers. Without these companies would could not do this. Thanks guys.

[low81ryder]

Great job Jay!!!! Great job Chris in nitro sprints. Grats to all the winners. Good racin lots of fun guys. Allen, Sonny and Custom Works and rest of the bunch, great job. One more to go. Cyas at Ripley......Mouse:revs::revs::thumbsup::greenflag:

[Hitman35]

I had a blast last night. I wish that my diff wouldn't have gone out in my outlaw in the second round but my 13.5 lm was pretty good. Gongrats to all the winners and to Allen's RC Raceway and his entire staff and family for having this race in such normal midwest fall weather.

[CShearburn]

Congrats Jay on a dominating run. You earned it. Solid car all night! And congrats to Tom Sagle for winning the Custom Works Outlaw & Spektrum DX3R combo custom built by Arnie Fie!

Thanks Allen and Barb for hosting the race again this year. I don't think people realize what they have been going through this summer and to still be willing to host the races without complaint is remarkable. The track was fast and the food was good. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Thanks Mark Daniels for doing another great job with scoring and getting the program through quickly, and to Sonny for promoting the KOTW again this year.

Good night of racing and all I can say is ditto. Allen and Barb my thoughts are with you two.
I just wished I would have seen Shelly sitting at turn one. Don’t like tearing stuff up mine or yours.
Thanks to all who worked, sponsored and promoted on this race.

[schumacher]

what a great night of racing, I am very happy that I was able to come to this race nice job to all the people who helped put this great show on

Also thanks to spectrum for all of the awards.

Its a shame I may not be able to make the kotw next year it will depend on how college is going

Wow ! Where do I begin? Thanks so much to Rob and Arnie at Customworks for their great support of dirt oval racing in the midwest and for the Arnie Fie built Outlaw sprint that I had the good fortune to win at the KOW race. That car WILL be put to good use! Thanks to Novak for their very fine GTB esc to power it with. Sonny Brown, thanks for your efforts at pulling things together. You know how much a south-paw radio will help me out that Spektrum DX3R and JR Racing servo are the best! I was very lucky to win this great rig the only better luck I have had was to meet all the great people I have in this hobby/sport. Some times I think we do not remember what a great cross-section of people we have in this hobby, all together to HAVE FUN driving our little cars in a circle. I am more guilty than most of getting "bent outa shape" when things don't go all that well for me on the racetrack, everybodys diffrent but we are all here because we love racing this stuff. Just something to think about at seasons end.Thanks to all my racer friends for helping keep me "up to speed" this summer. Mark Daniels is the master at running a tight ship but keeping the race program flexable enough to make it work, not easy to do. Well done! Most of all a very big thanks to Allen and Barb for giving us a place to play with our toys. Your kindness and loyality to all the racers to carry on with the program at this very rough time for you guys means a lot to all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Tom Sagle

[Mr.Wolfman]

Tom, that PRIZE PACK could not have gone to a more deserving racer.

Hope that it helps you make more events next year. Always good to see you at the races.

congrads.

[Fineousfingers]

Well Here we are boyz! Let's see if I can still download today. I'm going to apologize right up front that I didn't take a bunch of pics during the races. The weather was inhospitable to have fun going around snapping pics. But here are the line up of winners that stuck around after the main event. Congrats to everyone that made the A's and because we don't always remember everyone that shows up to make this event fun, let's give everyone that made it out to Allen's a big round of applause. We all buy these cars, build, work, sweat, tweak, race, tweak, race some more, and have fun with our group of guys and gals. Every racer seems to help anyone that asks and sometimes if they look like they're struggling and don't ask. I'd also like to thank everyone that came out to our spot and checked out our pics and for the nice comments. Tommy and I appreciate it. So here, if I don't screw it up, are the pics for KOW 09.

Jimmy

[Fineousfingers]

OK... That didn't work so well. Let's try again.
