Michael Rooney, owner of Steel City Hobbies, has been working on an RC film called Carpet Racers.
Shooting has been going on for a few years now, mainly at the large venue races such as the Snowbird Nationals and IIC. The Carpet Racers website will be up very soon - carpetracers.com.

Check back for updates as we expect this to ramp up quickly!

The 2009 Snowbird Nationals will be on January 27th thru February 1st. SCH will not be there this year for a few reasons. One is because the Steelers are playing in the Superbowl on February 1st! (Good luck Steelers!) Good luck to all the racers at the Snowbird Nationals this year!

For more information on the Snowbirds - check out www.snowbirdnationals.com.

Good luck to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Superbowl XLIII!

Go Steelers!

Keep posted for pictures.

Happy New Year from Steel City Hobbies!

We wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year for 2009!

RUANAIDH - (RU-AH-NEE) is the Gaelic spelling for Rooney.

Part memoir, part anecdotal history of Pittsburgh’s North Side, where the author grew up, and part football book, “Ruanaidh” follows to its conclusion the extraordinary life of Art Rooney, Sr. - the Chief. The strange-looking title (pronounced Ru-ah-nee) is the Gaelic word for Rooney.

Candid personality portraits of almost everybody in the Chief’s wide orbit are mingled with tales from Art Rooney, Jr’s own high school and college football-playing days, from his time as a failed drama student in New York, from his six months of boot camp training with the Marines, and from his subsequent career as personnel director of his father’s football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The book has been receiving rave reviews - before it has even hit the book stores!

Steel City Hobbies will have this book on sale in the near future - before any other book store. Be sure to get a copy of the 1st printing! Contact SCH about pre-ordering to reserve your book!
