***THIS WEEK IN RACING AT THE ELECTRIC WHEEL***

We had a great week of racing at the Electric Wheel that started off on Tuesday night with our Dirt Late Model Womps on the Oval. Dave Lape crossed the line first for the checkers as Ralph Spithaler finished on the same lap with Bob McChesney to take second and third respectively.

Thursday night has become a Flexi Night With our NASCAR Stock class and Brushless Flexi LMP/GTP class. First up in NASCAR Stock it was our own Alex Richardson taking the win followed by his father, Jeremy Richardson in second and Scott Hughes grabbing third.

Brushless Flexis were up next. It's always a close and fun class with fast racing. Scott Hughes took the win in this one with Jeremy Richardson in second and Ralph Spithaler in third.

We'll be running the same schedule for next week. Come check us out and Race!
We always have an open track so we encourage beginners to check out the action and try a rental car out for some ear to ear smiles and all out fun!

And don't forget, Electric Wheel is a great place for Birthday Parties, Team Building Events or just a place to come with a group of friends and have a blast!

We had a great turnout Thursday night at Electric Wheel with ten racers battling it out in our NASCAR Stock and FCR Truck Classes. Good close racing was the theme of the night and it was exciting to watch.

First on the night was our popular NASCAR Stock class. Steve Ploskunak ran his TurboFlex to the front to take the win followed by Alex Richardson in second and Michael Richardson grabbing third.

FCR 4.5 Trucks were up next. Again, Steve Ploskunak took the win followed by Alex Richardson in second and Ralph Spithaler taking the third spot on the box.

We run NASCAR Stock and the FCRs every Thursday night. Check out our website at electricwheel.store for all of our race info.

A bit late but a busy week at Electric Wheel! We had a fun night of brushless racing last Friday night. Two fast brushless classes means a lot of laps and good competition.

First up on the night was our Brushless Flexi LMP/GTP Class. In the end, Ted Backo grabbed the checkers followed closely by Scott Hughes in second and Alex Richardson taking third.

Our Open Wing Class followed with Alex Richardson taking the win followed by Scott Hughes in second and Ted Backo in third.

We're racing the brushless classes every Friday evening. Check our website at electricwheel.store for race schedules and regulations.
