GCS Supported Track – VRP Off Road Under Construction !
November 27th, 2009Owner of VRP Hobbies and Raceway, Vince Ponder hit the Georgia Racing scene earlier this year. No rookie to R/C Racing, Vince was known to the RC veterans as a “ring master” of RC in the early 90’s. VRP held over 60 races in 9 months: 1/8 Off Road, On Road Carpet, Off Road Carpet, 1/5 Off Road, and the new dirt oval provides something for almost any RC enthusiast. With years of experience in the construction industry and RC, VRP Hobbies and Raceway, is destined for success.
After a very successful year of holding numerous club races, 3 mini-series races, including a joint Series with Loganville RC, and Round 5 of the Georgia Championship Series, Vince decided it was time for the 1/8 off road track to have a new face. “The Rock”, (as it came to be called) was leveled shortly after the Fall For All Finals on November 21st . Vince said that the track will have more technical sections, while maintaining a smooth flow layout. Vince mentioned that the track will have some new features, making their track stand out. I tried to obtain the top secret photos of the new layout from his wife Tracy. However, Vince keeps them in a place that no one has access to,except for him. Below are a few shots of the construction phase. Local excitement builds!
Happy Thanksgiving !

GCS Finals Video
October 30th, 2009Finals – Dalton Ga
October 30th, 2009Weather going into the weekend looked great! However, the Rain Gods laid down some serious water leading up the practice day on Friday. With the track under inches of water only a few hours before, practice starting on time was out. Dalton RC Speedway is no ordinary track, it possesses some of the cleanest, richest red clay dirt in Georgia. Ed Weaver and his dedicated track crew worked for hours getting the track in top shape by late afternoon. By 4:00pm the track looked great and the racers started practicing. The weekend was sure to be great!
Pro Buggy –TQ Racing Driver Shannon Amos takes the race win but didn’t have the points to catch Dalton RC’s Edward Weaver who captures the GCS Title after an intense points battle with Losi duo Cole Ogden(3rd overall) and Shane Ogden(2nd overall). Paul Conway 4th and 2008 GCS Champion Kent Darley finishes 5th overall.
