This years event started off with a Parma International 32 slot car race on our 135 foot hill climb. This race consisted of 4 minute heats with a 2 minute intermission between the heats. The slot cars were raced stock with the pla-fit cheetah motor. The winner of the race, Andy Toth of Toledo Ohio, received a fully paid admission to the Can-Am USRRC & Trans-Am race at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, OH. The second place slot car race finisher, Ellis Raugh of Oak Harbor Ohio received $10.00 twords admission, and Third place Nate Wahl received $5.00 twords admission.

Following the 8:00 A.M International 32 slot car race everyone loaded in to their cars and drove down to the Mid Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. We arrived at the race race track faced with blistering hot temperatures and the smell of car exhaust as the cars race around the 2 mile road course.

This race was our last major slot car race for the season. Our weekly race schedule will continue until for the rest of the summer. Our next big race is going to be a $100.00 FCR slot car race scheduled for October 24, 1999. This slot car race will feature FCR cars that are going to be raced on our oval. We hope to see you all there.
