Welcome to the LJLRC!

The LJLRC (Lincoln Johnny Lightning Race Club) is a full service diecast race club that meets once a month in Lincoln, Rhode Island (26 Breakneck Hill Rd, Lincoln, RI). The club brings together the passion and fun competition of diecast racing with charitable contributions and efforts to give back to local charitable organizations and local community members in need. The Executive Board and Race Committee of the Club are committed to providing diecast racing that is fun, fair, consistent, and competitive.

LJLRC Gravity Diecast Racing

The club is open to all ages. Entry fee for each race class is $0.50/car (except certain feature and charity races, see sidebar). There is no admission fee for the monthly races. Spectators are welcome! Vendors are also welcome, please reach out to the club president Jeremy Morin for questions.

Featuring Derby Magic race tracks for downhill gravity racing, you can participate in any or all 10 race classes. The Kid’s Division race is exclusive to kids, but all other race classes are open to all ages. Each month spotlights a “Feature Race” that specifies a category of cars that can race (for example Electric Vehicles only, 5-packs team racing, Hot Wheels Winter Cars only). In 2024 the club also features a “Charity Race” which specifies a category of cars to race, but will not race in the Finals (see below). All contributions from the Charity Race class are donated to a local charity voted by the Race Committee members. Any suggestions for local charities or interesting race ideas to benefit charities are welcome!

We also support vendor tables to buy, sell, and trade (please inquire). The club meets every 2nd Sunday of the month unless specified on the LJLRC Facebook page, where all updates are posted, including next month’s Feature Race category and other news.

Regular Schedule:

• 8:00 AM: Doors open for registration
• 10:00 AM: Club meeting and announcements begin. We will stop accepting registrations at this point
• 10:30 AM: Racing begins. Depending on participation, racing usually ends by 1~2PM.

Prizes

First place winners of each race class are awarded medals in all race classes. We occasionally will have other prizes donated by the club or club members in addition to the medals.

Finals

Winners of each month will race against each other in December for the Finals (except for Rip and Race and Charity Race classes). The winner of the Finals will receive the coveted Championship Cup for the year, and their car will be the Fastest Car of the Year! The champion will have their name and winning car engraved onto the Fastest Car Champions plaque, which is updated annually as per the LJLRC club tradition.

If you or your family enjoy diecast cars, racing, or meeting new friends, come on down and check out the Lincoln Johnny Lightning Race Club.
