The
One Eighth Racers of Toledo is one of the oldest on road radio control
racing clubs in North America. The club has existed for over 40 seasons,
having been formed in 1968, and today the club provides racers with
a permanent facility that is one of the best prepared and fastest scale
car on road asphalt surfaces in the United States and Canada.
The
track serves as a weekend facility for club members, a regional facility
for the Midwest
Series and the RC
PRO Series, as the home of the club's own regional race,
The Great Lakes Challenge
known as The GLC, and was host to the ROAR
Fuel Sedan On Road Championship in 2004.
We
race both 1/8th and 1/10th scale radio controlled race cars that have
all of the sophistication of full size race cars with a considerably
greater power to weight ratio. Spring rates, shock dampening, sway bars,
drive ratios, tire hardness and even spoiler adjustments for aerodynamics
are just a part of setting up one of these cars.
We
host 10 to 12 club race events every summer on our calendar
between April and October. These events are raced on a road course layout
at our permanent asphalt facility located behind the Woodville Mall
in Toledo.
The
track is located behind the Woodville Mall in Northwood Ohio on Rt.51
South. You can reach Rt. 51 from I-280 using Exit 6.
