August 12th Race Results

Tuesday – Not our typical day to race, but this was a special Race and all monies will be given to local charities such as Big Brothers Big Sisters. Today’s turnout just got better as time went on. We had at least 200 spectators by the end of the racing event. The freestyle event was incredible thanks to R/C DCL’s Dan Nordeck!

Here is the list of winners, well, the ones who crossed the finish line first. As we all know, everyone is a winner when it comes to charity!

Steel City Hobbies and Garrett County Fair working on R/C events

A Charity Race has been approved so Steel City Hobbies will be promoting a race on two days during the Fair this year. The decision came today when Store Manager Jerry Durst visited the site and was able to demonstrate that we can put on a good show and provide entertainment for everyone while raising money for local charities.

Money raised by the drivers, and by donations collected at the event, will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters local charity for kids.

~~ Drivers Wanted ~~

If anyone is interested in participating in Thursdays race, please contact the store ASAP. What we will need is your name, class you want to run in, and a charity you would like to represent. It would be very helpful for you to find people and/or businesses to promote your car. Please contact us for further details. There will be an $10.00 entrance fee for the racing event as it is all for a good cause.

If you can not get in touch with the shop, just bring your R/C Car or Truck and you can sign up on site!

SCH will also be providing entertainment throughout the Fair by means of racing on Tuesday and Thursday, August 12th and 14th. On other days, freestyle events will be going on at any given time. If you are interested in running in any freestyle event, please contact the store as we need drivers! The Freestyle event will be for show only, will provide a great time for you to show off your talent driving in front of a crowd. There is NO entrance fee for this event.
