Metro East Mini RC

A few of the Metro East Mini racers branched out today and took a trip to St. Louis Dirt Burners. Having never run the track we all did pretty good. Great to see some old friends too.

Metro Mini is branching out. Today we held our first ever drag race. Ran a RTR 2cell class, RTR 3cell class and an Open class. We think the machine malfunctioned because Jeff Mueller took all 3! Congrats Jeff. 2nd in 2cell was Chris Gierse, 3cell was Andy Herkenhoff and Open was Nate Skinner. Looking forward to the next one. If you’re interested in joining us, message the page for details.

Big thanks to the Race Director of the night. Did a great job Andy. Not sure about your modeling career though.

Oh what a night. As you can tell from the look on my face I was not happy with a my outcome🤣. Ran 3 classes but neglected to take a pic of one of them. The other 2 only needed one pic. Results are:

Same as above hence the utter disappointment in my face. 😉

Congrats to Jeffrey Mueller last night. He was on rails all night. Ran 2 classes but only 1 pic needed. Results were the same for both races.

On a side note, a couple guys thought it would be funny taking selfies before taking the podium pictures. Think it’s only fair to share them!

Looks like between new racers and prospective racers we have a full house! I can add anyone interested to join to a waiting list.

4/17/24 Mini Z podiums.

Great night of racing! Already looking forward to Mini-Z Wednesday
