Who We Are |
Curt Vincent (pictured left)- I began playing with slot cars in Bloomington, IL. at the age of 3 at what was then known as Slot-Of-Fun. This same establishment we now call Mid-America Raceway and Hobbies - South. Racing has been in my blood since then, from racing on dirt tracks throughout Illinois and then working on a NASCAR K&N team, I still race to win every time we hit the track. Now 28, married, and a graduate of Illinois State University in Recreation Management, my love for slot car racing has never been stronger.
Bobby Yonkee (pictured right)- On my 6th birthday I was taken out of school and brought to Norway raceway where I sat down in my first kid kart. Ever since that day I had fallen in love with racing and the diverse community it brings. Competing through the ranks, I raced road course, dirt, and asphalt oval, With my experience, slot car racing came natural to me in the off-season. As a young slot car racer, I competed in Joliet, Downers Grove, and Machesney Park. Now 23, as a Recreation Management Graduate student at Illinois State University, my experience gives me the opportunity to help promote and drive the slot car community in Central Illinois. |
Why CISS? |
The goal for Central Illinois Slot Series is to create the most competitive slot car series in the Midwest. Our rules were made to create an even playing field while giving builders the opportunity to fine tune and take pride in their work. In our inaugural season we traveled across the Central Illinois area gaining numbers in local racers at every event. As we continue to grow and expand, we plan to create a schedule impacting the entire Midwest, giving racers diverse tracks, obstacles, and competition.
