Club History
Great Lakes Challenge August 27 to Aug.29
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 43 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, 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. The RC Pro Series will be joining us for their third year of on road organized racing. For 2009 the Toledo club hosted the ROAR Combined 1/10th and 1/8th Onroad Fuel Nationals.
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 between April and October. These events are raced on a road course layout at our permanent asphalt facility located behind the Woodville Mall (Google Map Here) in Toledo Ohio.
Our Event Sponsors
The Toledo Racers major sponsors for the Great Lakes Challenge in the past graciously supplied you, the racers, with the racing goods that were up for grabs during our GLC prize raffle. The Toledo club members thank these sponsors along with the many others who provided prizes and helped make the GLC a great event for all the racers who attended in previous years.
