The NASCAR Flexi race at Springwater Raceway is June 3rd, 2023. This race is for the 4.5 inch chassis, using NASCAR car and truck bodies. The race will consist of 4 rounds / 4 minute heats. 2 rounds with cars and 2 rounds with trucks. It has been asked if the cars and trucks must use the same chassis all the way through. The answer is no. You can race a different chassis between the cars and trucks. You cannot change chassis during the cars or the trucks. This is the final race of the season at Springwater Raceway. I need at least 12 racers to commit to racing before May 27th or the race will be cancelled. UPDATE: Was out of town on vacation and could update the list. Thanks, Bill Bostic, for helping get racers signed up. The race is on. See you all Saturday June 3rd.

A windy but sunny day was the setting for race 2 of the 2022-2023 NWTS 962 Challenge Series. 8 racers showed up to battle in this competitive and fun series. This was the first race for many of the competitors at The Gorge Raceway, so extra practice time was a key to a successful event. The racing was close and intense with hard crashes and fierce battles to keep things exciting. Lunch was a Taco Bar which my wife Teri put together for everyone to enjoy. The final results:
1.....Racerbob.................646.4 laps.
2.....Touring John.............637.5

Race #4 of 5 for the 2022-2023 Porsche 962 Challange Series was contested on March 25th, 2023. The venue was Springwater Raceway on the 130 ft. Ogilvie Grandstand 8 lane commercial track. 14 racers converged on a crisp Saturday morning to prepare for a full day of racing. After practice and some thrashing to get cars ready to race, the event rolled of at approximately 11:30 am. The race consisted of 4 racers on the outside four lanes for a round. 4 racers on the inside 4 lanes for a round. This rotation was repeated one more time, so each racer raced on all 8 lanes twice, for a total of 64 minutes for each racer. The totals were added up, and an overall winner was declared. Points are awarded for each finishing position and the racer with the highest total after the 5-race series is the winner. This series cycles through 5 different tracks. The day was filled with close racing, flying cars and feverish pit work to keep cars in the race. Unfortunately, a few racers were unable to complete the event. A special thanks to my wife, Teri, who picked up and delivered pizza.
The final results showed how close some of the battles were, which provided fun and excitement throughout the day.

The OSCAR group took to the high-speed circuit of Springwater Raceway for race #4 of the 2022-2023 season.
This year brought 10 racers to put their skills and luck to the test. With 1 minute qualifying to determine starting positions and 64 minutes of driving for each person, skill, luck and plain old determination kept the outcome of this race unknown until the checkered flag flew. From first to last, there were close battles throughout the field. The old adage that anything that can happen, will was a theme throughout the day.

Turing John, Hersh and myself ran PASER trans Am cars. All the others were NWTS TA2 cars. No OSCAR cars were run.
Nice Job of driving. Had tons-o -racing with you!
Thanks for coming and playing!!!
The first official PASER True Scale Trans Am race was held at The Gorge Raceway on January 28th, 2023. 11 racers came to participate in this new PASER class. Thanks to Frank Lynn, Tim Booze and Matt Bell for coming and racing for the first time. A mix of PASER Trans AM and TA2 cars from NWTS raced 4 minute heats, rotating 2 times on each lane for a total of 32 minutes for each driver. The Gorge Raceway is a technical 4 lane routed wood track, 72 feet in length which made for tight racing with close battles and a few big crashes. A special thanks to those who brought snacks. When the smoke cleared, the final results:
1. Racerbob 321 laps
2. Bad Billy 299 laps
3. Turing John 282 laps
4. Meat 273 laps
5. Howie 267 laps

It was test and tune until the 6pm Late Model Sportsman race. 6 racers participated with a 3 lane, 4-minute heats, 2 times through format.
