YOU THOUGHT THE HOLIDAYS WERE BUSY, JUST WAIT TO SEE WHAT
WE’VE GOT GOING AT THE ORCCC!!! FINALLY, THE NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, NEW YEAR’S
CRUNCH IS OVER AND WE ARE READY TO START AT NEW SEASON OF EXCITEMENT HERE IN OCALA. WE
HAVE SO MUCH TO ANNOUNCE, SO SETTLE DOWN AND READ ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING.
FIRST ON THE AGENDA, WE HAVE HAD A SLIGHT CHANGE IN PERSONNEL. OUR HARDWORKING
SECRETARY, STEVE SHOOK, HAS DECIDED TO TAKE A SHORT MENTAL HEALTH BREAK FROM THE CLUB.
(WELL, SORT OF!!) STEVE HAS RECENTLY BECOME FULLY SELF-EMPLOYED AND IS WORKING HIMSELF
SILLY. WORD IS, HIS TRIGGER FINGER IS DOWN TO A STUB! TO GIVE STEVE A MUCH DESERVED BREAK,
JACK MARTIN HAS VOLUNTEERED TO HANDLE ALL CALLS AND INQUIRES REGARDING OUR TRACK. JACK
MARTIN OF JACK'S HOBBIES CAN BE REACHED AT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: WORK 352-351-2224 AND
FAX 352-351-9118.
NOW FOR THE SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES!! FIRST UP IS SUNDAY MARCH 15TH AT SILVER SPRINGS
ATTRACTIONS. OUR CLUB HAS BEEN ASKED TO JOIN THE PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES EXHIBIT
AT OCALA’S FAMOUS PARK. RACING AND ENTRANCE TO THE PARK ARE FREE. PARTICIPANTS MUST
BE AT THE BACK/STATE ROAD 40 ENTRANCE AT 7 A.M. SHARP. THOSE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING
IN RACING AND/OR SET UP SHOULD LET AN OFFICIAL KNOW. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.
ATTENTION: IT WAS DECIDED AT THE LAST MEETING THAT THE ORCCC WOULD
TEMPORARILY SWITCH TO AN ALTERNATE SATURDAY SCHEDULE. THE RACETRACK WAS STARTING TO BE TOO
MUCH LIKE WORK WITH IT’S RIGID SCHEDULE!!! AFTER ATTENDANCE IS BACK UP, WE MAY SWITCH
BACK TO EVERY WEEK. WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

TREVOR IVERSON HAS OFFERED TO CREATE THE FLYERS (OBVIOUSLY HE GETS ALONG BETTER WITH HIS
COMPUTER THAN I DO WITH MINE!!) AND JACK MARTIN IS GOING TO COPY THEM. I YOU HAVE ANY
IDEAS, CONTACT ONE OF THESE FOLKS. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP COMMITTEES TO
INSURE THE RACE IS SMOOTH AS EVER, SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING US IN THE WORK AND
FUN, LET A RACE OFFICIAL KNOW AND WE WILL SURELY FIND A PLACE FOR YOU!
THE CLASSY CHASSIS EXTRAVAGANZA IS BEING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 26TH IN THE HOME
DEPOT PARKING LOT. THE WORD IS THAT IF IT HAS WHEELS IT WILL BE AT THIS EVENT! AGAIN,
THIS DAY PROMISES TO BE SOMETHING THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN ENJOY. RACE FEES WILL GO TO A
WORTHY CHARITY, AS THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE EVENT. ROAD RACERS WILL BE GUARANTEED A GOOD
TIME!
GADZOOKS I’M GETTING TIRED JUST THINKING ABOUT ALL THIS FUN AND EXCITEMENT. SO
WE’LL BREAK FOR OTHER STUFF. STEVE SHOOK SAYS THERE’S A WEBSITE THAT CONTAINS
EVERYTHING YOU’D EVER WANT TO KNOW ABOUT R/C RACING! THE SITE IS WWW.THECONFERENCE.COM . CHECK IT
OUT AT THE LATEST MEETING, THE OFFROAD DRIVERS LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IT WAS ABOUT TIME FOR
AN OFFROAD POINT SERIES. SCHEDULING WILL BE PRETTY TRICKY, BUT WE’LL PULL ONE
TOGETHER AND LET YOU GUYS KNOW THE DATE.
FINALLY, THE REGION 4 OFF-ROAD RACE WILL BE HELD AT THE ORCCC TRACK ON NOVEMBER 7TH AND
8TH. GANG, IT’S GONNA BE HUGE!!!! 2 DAYS OF RACING THAT WILL BRING OLD AND NEW RACERS
TO THE OCALA AREA. AGAIN, WE ARE STARTING TO HEAD UP COMMITTEES TO INSURE A PERFECT RACE,
SO LET SOMEONE KNOW IF YOU CAN VOLUNTEER. OH YEAH, IF ANYONE OUT THERE KNOWS HOW TO
CONTROL THE WEATHER WE WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR YOUR SPECIAL
TALENT!!!!
THAT’S ABOUT ALL THE NEWS FOR THIS EDITION. JUST A FEW MORE ITEMS AND I’LL
SHUT UP! ALL THE EVENTS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE GREAT SPORT OF R/C
RACING. YOUR PARTICIPATION WILL ONLY HELP THE ORCCC PROVIDE A GREAT FACILITY TODAY AND IN
THE FUTURE.
