PINELLAS PARK FLORIDA - NEWS FROM FAST EDDIES SLOT CAR & RACEWAY

 




Elaine & I hope that all of our racing family and friends survived the storm OK with minimal damage and everyone is alright.

Tonight we will be open with TEST & TUNE from 5:00PM - 9:30PM. Track time is only $15.00 for the entire time if you have your own car & controller.
Our Bracket Drag racing will start at 6:30PM. We also have all the JDS Championship plaques to pass out as well.
Many of you know Mike Moock had a mini stroke a few weeks back and has been in rehab for it at Palms of Pasadena. I am happy to post that he is finally back at home and working on recovery and strengthening so keep him in your thoughts still.
This past Monday we only had a few racer's so we ran a H.O. IROC race with everyone. Still a fun night with the guys.

All through the night the racing was extremely close and some great reaction times were being thrown down.
Here's how everyone finished.
