Lil INDY RC Speedway

As most everyone knows by now, Lil Indy has opened its doors to RC racers for the final time. 13 years of memories that will last a lifetime made in that building.. memories that so many of us will carry with us. DOZENS of the best dirt oval rc racers in the country cut their teeth on that small patch of dirt in a discrete warehouse in Spartanburg, SC. Jim Pohlman said it best when he said Indy wasn’t the Taj Mahal, but it was Home. It was home to so many!

Congrats to the checkered flag series champions. The final and forever champions of Lil Indy RC Speedway:

Alan Hinchman - 17.5 Late Model
Bobby Bowe- 6 Second Breakout
Matt Rodgers- 17.5 Sprint
Jamie Henson- Traxxas Street Stock

I’d like to personally thank Bobby for everything he has done for me, and for this entire community. He’s been a father figure to me these last 7 or 8 years.. and I wouldn’t give those years back for anything. My first 17.5 late model ride was a car that he provided, worked on, and paid for, because for some reason he saw something in me. (I got no talent so still not sure what he saw) He did this for so many people.. just to give them a chance to race what they wanted to race. If there was a new class being started, Bobby bought 2 or 3 cars himself to grow the class.

No doubt that dirt oval would’ve never risen to the level it has in our area without Bobby.

See y’all at a track somewhere!

daddy and i have taken a lot of selfies at the track in 10 years… this will be the last. a lot of people have watched me grow up over the past decade, and i love and cherish every single one of you (most of you 😝) thank you for letting bobby, melanie, gracie and lil indy be a part of your lives. we all share something together, forever 🤍

Please pray for the family of Jeremy Bridges tonight. He was a friend to many in the RC community and never met a stranger. He will be greatly missed.

Just as an FYI, there will not be a checkered flag series race this weekend. If the new owners decide to keep the track open and finish out the series it will become a 5 race series instead. Good luck to everyone racing at Little Dixie and Bump and Run this weekend.

Congrats to all the winners! Huge thanks to everyone who came out and raced with us, and celebrated and thanked Bobby for all of the years at Lil Indy.

In what was likely the last race at Indy, at least under Bobby’s ownership, I wanted to throw back to the days of Indy when we were wide open and hammer down. It took longer than I wanted to get there, but I hope it didn’t disappoint.

Keep checking back here for updates on the building/track. I will update everyone when we know definitively what’s going to happen.

As always, thanks for the support!
