OSCAR Team NASCAR Race at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway - Feb. 15th

Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway hosted an OSCAR team racing event on Saturday February 15th, 2020. The race was for OSCAR spec late model NASCARs. We had ten racers make it out for the race. Five two man teams were formed based on each racers one minute timed qualifying run. The distance over time method was used for qualifying.

Heat races were four minutes long. The race duration was set for eight rounds of racing, or eight times through all four lanes for each team (40 heat races). Each racer got eighty minutes of on track racing time. The real story was that each car got one hundred and sixty minutes of hard on track racing time! The teams had to work hard on the track and in the pits as well to keep up the pace. Teams experienced wear issues as well as failures. There were gear failures, body failures, bearing failures, and motor failures. The Oregon Donors team went through three motors, and a rear axle bearing and still made a come back to finish second! Another team blew their gear set in the last six minutes of the race. The winning team went through four sets of tires.

It was a fun race and I had a great time! I'd like to thank all of those who were able to make it over to race.
