Something is going on at SDRC Raceway!
First, check the video…
Some people say it’s just Chase Raymond’s amazing whip-skills at play. Others are convinced there’s some sort of magnetic force field buried under the dirt. Or maybe…
Over the last couple of days we have completely transformed our track’s grip! We’ve officially launched into testing a sealed race track surface.
As you all know, we are building a brand-new track layout starting immediately after racing tomorrow night and running through the weekend. But we had to test this sealer on the current track first to grab some baseline data. Safe to say, the results are so massive that we will be sealing the new layout during the packing process so it starts its life off right!
Here is what we are seeing so far:
> Amazingly Consistent Grip – Lock it in around the entire layout.
> A 10-Foot-Wide Racing Line – Seriously! The racing line is massive, meaning passing opportunities and wheel-to-wheel racing just got a huge upgrade.
> Unbelievable Dust Reduction – We only blew off the track between rounds during Wednesday’s program, and honestly, that was mostly just out of habit.
> Drastically Less Watering – We've reduced watering to after the racing is completely done. No more mid-program watering breaks and no more dealing with that inconsistent, changing track feel.
> All-Day, Everyday Grip – You know that perfect, locked-in grip we normally only get during the middle rounds on race nights? Imagine that feel all day, every day.
You must come race with us tomorrow (Friday) night and feel the new grip for yourself before this layout is history!
Massive “Thank You” to Chris, Chase & Levi Raymond, to Matty G, to the fantastic folks at Whip It RC, and to the SDRC crew for making it happen.

NEW TRACK BUILD WEEKEND + CLUB RACING!
We have a massive week ahead at SDRC Raceway, and we need the best community in RC to help us pull it off! Chris Raymond has another masterpiece lined up for us, and we are hard at work finalizing the design.
With the Point Break Battle Royale just around the corner on July 18th, this new layout is going to be crucial. We need a fast turn-around and plenty of track break-in time next week!
Here is the full breakdown of how you can get involved:
WEEKLY SCHEDULE:
Wednesday & Friday: Club Racing
> Come out and get your final laps in on the current layout! WOW, it’s been a good one!
> The racing programs will run as scheduled.
Friday Night After the Mains: It’s time to tear it down.
> We will be pulling pipe immediately following the race program.
> If you're there racing, stick around for a bit to help us get a head start!
Saturday: Track Shaping & Heavy Packing (All Day)
> All hands on deck! Saturday is the big push where we dig in, form the new jumps, sculpt the corners, and start the initial packing.
Sunday: Fine Packing & Laying Pipe (All Day)
> We’ll be finishing up the packing and laying down the pipe.
👋 WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We can use absolutely anyone who is available to lend a hand this weekend!
Whether you can swing by for an hour or stay for the whole day, any amount of time definitely helps. Bring your gloves and plenty of energy.
Let’s get this fresh layout prepped and broken in for Point Break!
See you all at the track!

WE HAVE A NEW SDRC SUPERHERO
At SDRC Raceway, we don’t just race hard - we take Turn Marshaling with deadly seriousness.
It’s been a few months since Aden Spencer set the Gold Standard by literally diving headfirst onto the track out of sheer, unadulterated excitement to flip buggies (never forget 12/4/25).
But a new challenger has entered the arena!
Introducing our newest Turn Marshal Superhero: the super-fast and all-around amazing dude, Jeremy Hase Jr.!
Jeremy went full Cal Ripken Jr. mode in showing off his absolute Gold Glove reflexes to protect precious lap times.
"Not all heroes wear capes... some just have insane reactions and the hands to deal with tumbling RC cars."
Thank you for the All-Star effort, Jeremy! You keep 'em shiny side up, even when the drivers can’t.

Racers, mark your calendars and adjust your pit schedules! We are shifting the highly anticipated Point Break race event from its original June 20th weekend slot to the weekend of JULY 25th.
The Domino Effect (SDRC Race Shop Calendar)
Finding open dates that don't clash with other regional schedules is a massive puzzle. Because of this move, there will be a slight domino effect:
> Endless Summer Series Round 1 & Round 2 dates will also be impacted.
We are actively working through the logistics, and we’ll keep everyone updated via our online platforms and fresh postings directly in the Race Shop. Thank you for your patience and flexibility. The wait will be worth it!

Here is how it breaks down:
> No Qualifying: Show up ready to battle from the jump.
> 5 Heads-Up Rounds: Pure racing. (Only 4 count!).
> Random Starting Grids: Chaos by design. You could start from the pole or have to fight your way up from the back.
