It's always a pleasure to work with Newberry RC Park and the great community of racers they've built.

We have updates for you!
In case you missed it, Dad's Races rescheduled the previously rained out EMERGE at Callahan Off Road RC Raceway for September 24th! Just over two weeks out and you won't want to miss it!
Here's what you can expect:
Newberry racers love Callahan. We bumped our club event up a week so that both events can happen. John Bernard is awesome and we can't wait to get some laps in at Callahan on 9/24!
A heat of Gas Truck! YES! But it doesn't stop there. Ignite Design RC will be on site bringing gas truck entries, conversion kits, and trackside support. Dave Duncan graciously welcomed this joint effort between Newberry, Jimmy, and the EMERGE series. After watching these trucks run, you're going to want to take one home. Ignite will have you covered. Thank you, Jimmy Woodley!
Spread the word! If you're in North Florida or South Georgia and you own a 1:10 Gas Truck, THIS IS YOUR SIGN!
Finally, Speed Demon Hobbies will be on site with parts, tires, and more. Ken is so appreciated for making the long drive up from South Florida! Please plan to support him!

Well this is not the post we wanted to share but the weather is winning and has wonā¦.. John Bernard and his awesome Callahan raceways crew have been battling wet weather for the last 2 weeks and would need 2 full days of sunny and dry to give us a good racing surface. We do not see that in the near future so we will have to reschedule EMERGE race #1 east session @ Callahan raceway. We should have a new date and if all possible still in September in the next few days so stay tuned. So sorry for this but it is out of our hands.

Much better. -John

07/28/2022
I'm going to get the track ready to race this Saturday for you racers that didn't make the trip to Wicked Weekend. I'll make a flyer later. Plan on a 11am race start. -John

07/07/2022
Yup thatās it for practice. If I come out tomorrow and itās good Iāll let you know but Iām going to go ahead and cancel practice for this weekend.
Newberry RC Park (1/10 only) is racing Saturday afternoon if youāre looking for options.

07/06/2022
Itās in rough shape but I will open the track for practice tomorrow and possibly Friday as well as Saturday depending on the weather. Tomorrow itāll be open from 4-7pm, $10 per driver.
Iāll freshen it up the best I can for tomorrow. -John
06/18/2022
Tonightās race and tomorrowās practice are canceled. We got a ton of water this morning. I will try to open the track for practice next Sunday.

06/18/2022
Thanks for coming out everyone to our first race on the new layout. Weāll do it again tomorrow. Gates will open at 12, practice from 1-4, racing at 5pm

06/16/2022
I finished too late to get a good picture but wanted to water it one last time before it got too dark. The track looks great and should be pretty fast tomorrow. I will try to get here early enough to get water on it before practice starts, 4pm-7pm, $10 per driver. -John

06/15/2022
We have a lot going on this week.
Thursday the track will open for practice from 4-7pm. Please plan on the gates opening at 4pm but I hope to be there around 3:30pm. $10 per driver.
Friday we will rent some lights and have a night race. Gates will open around 3:30pm, practice from 4:30-6:30pm, racing will start at 7pm. $20/$15/$10, $10 for Novice.
Saturday we'll still have lights so might as well use them. We'll have another night race. Gates will open at 12pm, practice from 1:00-4:30pm, racing will start at 5pm. $20/$15/$10, $10 for Novice.
Sunday the track will open again for practice from 10am-3pm. Gates open at 9am. $10 per driver.
Power is still limited. Yes there is power but if you have a generator please bring it.
It's a lot but I'm hoping this will get us closer to running power to the new track location.

The weather looks crazy like usual. Iāll be out there Wednesday evening to see how the track looks for Thursdayās practice. If all goes well, I do plan on putting down some calcium after Thursdayās practice. My goal isnāt grip but to keep the dust down and hold the track together for Friday nightās race.
For the race, Iām planning on two 4-min qualifying rounds then 7 min electric mains and a 12-min nitro main. This may change depending on entries.
Then if the weather lets me, I will be back for practice Sunday. -John

06/12/2022
Iām going to open the track for practice this Thursday the 16th from 4pm-7pm ($10), we will have a night race this Friday the 17th with racing starting at 7pm ($20/$15/$10, $10 novice), and if the weather allows l will open the track for practice on Sunday the 19th from 10am-3pm ($10).
This weather is killing me. -John

06/12/2022
Tomorrowās race is canceled. Unfortunately the rain has won again. Weāll try to have a race Friday night (June 17th) and practice Sunday (June 19th).

06/11/2022
Right now itās still as bone dry as it was yesterday but the sky does not look pretty. I will wait for this to pass by and see what happens. We havenāt given up yet. -John

06/11/2022
I will head to the track later this evening around 7 to see how the track has faired.

The word so far is that the track is looking good for practice this evening. -John

06/10/2022
Practice tomorrow Friday the 10th from 4pm-7pm, $10 per driver.
This is late notice again but Iām going to open the track for practice tomorrow. I was out there today to get the track ready for Sunday and it looked great. It needed water or rain which it got today. The weather looks good for tomorrow and very iffy for Sunday so why not try to get some laps in. Iāll have the computer going to test the new loop out. Iāll give an update tomorrow about the trackās condition as soon as I hear.

We are canceling tomorrowās race. We had a plan but Mother Nature had her own. We just had two more showers come through and thereās no way we can give you the race experience you deserve.
Sorry for the late notice and we will try again soon. Keep an eye out for the next date.

05/22/2022
No practice today. Lots of rain fell yesterday. Letās all hope for some dry weather this week. We will try and have our first race on the new layout next weekend. See you there. -John

So we didnāt get the rain we were supposed to yesterday. I will go to the track tomorrow (Sunday)morning. If it looks good at 8am, I will open it for practice from 9am to 3pm, $10 per driver. Weāre supposed to get rain today and possibly more tomorrow. So if youāre close, just wait for a post in the morning. This is the best I can do. š¤š¾ -John
05/20/2022
Iām glad we were finally able to get some cars on the track. Thanks for the practice suggestion Gene Shrout Jr. Iād also like to thank Lisa and David Hicken for giving us a track to use. It has been a lot of work to get us to this point.
I will keep an eye on the weather. If it looks like we can open it up again Sunday I will, if not, Iāll see you at our first race May 28th. -John.

05/18/2022
Itās not perfect but with the forecast, Iām going to open the track for practice tomorrow (Thursday 19th). Itāll be from 4pm to 8pm and $10 per driver. Iāll get there as soon as I can but itāll likely be just before 4:00.

If the forecast changes, I will try to do a practice again next Sunday the 22nd.

Iād like to thank everyone that came out to race, practice, or spectate in 2021. We had a fun year and plan on bigger and better things in 2022. Our first race of the year will be the night of Friday the 21st. Flyer and details to come soon. Thanks again, John

I wish I could go this fast š
**Due to the forecasted rain Sunday, Iām going to move practice to Saturday the 1st. Itāll be a great way to deal with that hangover š** I had to put down a lot of water and did a bunch of laps today. The tracks should be pretty good this Saturday the 1st for practice. Gates open at 9am, if itās just water we should be ready to go by 9:30am and the track will be open until 3pm, and $10 per driver. Come get those rides ready for 2022! -John

Just a heads up, I do plan on using calcium for this weekend. Gates will open at 8am on Friday. Practice is 12-9pm on Friday. Saturday practice will be from 8-10 and racing starts at 10:30.

There are still some things to do but the track is working really well in the other direction. See you next weekend for the Classic. -John

We are racing under the lights this Friday the 13th. Gates open at 3pm, practice at 4pm, racing starts at 7pm. Please share! This is very last minute but weāll make it happen.

Practice is now underway. Come check us out. EDIT: Racing will now be 11:30. Unfortunately Phil Hurd was rained out so we are pushing it back for those drivers trying to make it down.

I recently found this track - which classes are normally raced? Do you have some model examples for the classes?
I am new to racing (but not rc), down in Jax, would love to come check out the track sometime on a race day. Not exactly familiar with rules yet.
Thanks for any info you all can provide!
