you use alot of javascript, which a significant number of internet users have disabled.
why have you disabled right clicking?? esp. on only part of your site.
the map is quite hard to see street names etc even when enlarged
why does the Iframe stop about 3/4 down the page? i get a scroll bar on the news page
your page doesnt look too good on 800*600 or less

also, the iframe blocks off part of the right margin, so i get 2 yellow blobs above and below
you have 2 <title> tags
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
hence, there are many many validation flaws...
your left bar images are very pixelated, and they shouldn't be images in the first place (CSS)
the iframes are quite annoying, you're server supports shtml, so you could use SSI(server side includes) and an overflow div to accomplish the same effect. also, most servers that support SSI also support php, which would be an even better alternative.
If you want a site that gets information across to a good percentage of users, your site accomplishes that, if you want a site the gets information across to 100% of users, you should rethink your design and use css

Make your menu a single column of links and not a double wide one. Using "index" in the <title> tag is pretty much pointless. Put your site name in there instead and if you want to say that page is your home page, then put something like "Wichita R/C Raceway: Home." Let's just say your big background image gets repeated on big enough resolutions. Using JavaScript to ban IPs is pretty much pointless. What happens if the person turns off JavaScript? Also click on the "tables for layout is stupid" link in my signature.

your talking over my head here. I dont have a clue what css and stuff is or how to do it. my buttons are jpg images. when I was making this I kept checking it in the preview window at 800x600 looked fine but just know I change my screen to that and opened the site and it sucks. How do I fix that. most of the script is to make the buttons change when you mouse over, the right click thing was just something someone suggest I dont really see a need because I can still copy what ever from the site.
any help you can provide would be greatly appreceateed

That will get you started.
as far as the buttons go, you over compressed them, thus they are pixilated. You can make almost identical effects with css (note the second link on spufi's post)
as far as the 800x600 issue, the preview option probably made 800x600 viewable, but in 800x600, you only have about 770x400 depending on the browser

if you want a menu generating using css you could use list-o-matic (http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/list-o-matic/list-o-matic.asp)
for a layout generated in css you could use layout-o-matic (http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php)
