OTHG Race News

LACR

LACR – When the 2015 schedule was announced LACR had a tentative date next to it. A few OTHG members were posting on the forum how we should race there. It really started to gain traction when the OTHG was invited to race a GP during the month of December once our season ended. After the GP, the comments became more and more positive for this race. The problem was the cost. Having a race that cost that much as our second race usually means trouble financially for the rest of the year. However, the members spoke and the board listened! The board gambled and the members backed up their desire to race LACR. Truly a win-win for the club! The turn out at LACR was more than anyone expected.

This race was a success for a number of reasons. Some of those reasons being the hard work that was put forth by members such as Arnie Davis and Dave Blunk who were instrumental in our flyer being posted on the MXA web site. VP Van Duinwyk was telling anyone that would listen what a great facility this was and what a great race it would be. Stats guru Arch Teer embarked on a full on assault of marketing the OTHG and the LACR race on the Internet.

It is the hard work of these individuals that made it all possible. However, even the best track in the world will be a failure if racers do not attend. It is because of each and every racer that came out to LACR that made it a huge success. Lets keep it up. Comp Edge is next, lets see what we can do there!
