The first NASCAR race of the 2013 season. Dec. 15th. 2012. I lost the results by my own mistake. So we went by memory as to the results. I decided that for the remainder of the 2013 season, (Marty, Beau and I also discussed this issue after the race) that the OSCAR NASCAR's can compete with the True Scale NASCAR until such time it is decided to race only True Scale NASCAR. Bad Bob and I badgered each other's NASCAR which was good for some laughs. Beau took the time to set a new NASCAR track record with Kirk's new car at 4.7351 seconds.

Race of Feb. 16th. 2013. The competition is getting very close between True Scale NASCAR's and the OSCAR NASCAR's. NASCAR rules were discussed and tossed back and fourth and voted on and starting next season, only True Scale NASCAR"s will compete at Rapid Raceway. So next season will be True Scale format in all classes.
I'll also mention that Gearloose's True Scale NASCAR is a home built in-line chassis and is fast and handles great!!

This was the kick off to the 2014 NASCAR points series. I took an early lead in the points chase. I challenged the track record and was successful! Thanks to Bryan for bringing his hot dog roaster.

Race of Feb. 22, 2014. A lot of action both on and off the track. A few racers showed up that we haven't seen at Rapid for awhile: Stuart, Gary, James. Gary brought a new racer to the field, Dima Donchorov who shared a car with Gary.
This was the first race that hiked the entry fee to $4.00 and I supplied the food. Sorry guys, I will do better next time, although we ate pretty much the whole thing. Gearloose drove a great race and took the win. The track had a lot of rubber on it and so the times weren't that great. It will be clean for the race next weekend. Current points are on the News page.

Race of March 1st. 2014. Seven racers showed up to do battle. The track was repaired in the "esses" and cleaned for this race causing some slippery conditions. I squeezed out a win over Gearloose. We have one race to go on March 29th, then start planning for the 2015 season. It was also discussed to set a new rule starting next season: to have the tracking set at a certain width for all NASCAR's, therefore eliminating the problem with narrow bodies. I think it is a good idea and I will install the new tracking rules asap. Also it was discussed to add flairs to the cars to avoid the look of tires sticking out beyond the body too much after cutting out the wheel wells for the tires to clear. I like that rule also. Marty has a flared NASCAR and it looks great. No it is not absolutely true scale, but so be it!

March 29th. 2014.last race of the season and what a race it was. Rain outside brought the racers inside! Bad Bob with his fast NASCAR won the race and set the bar higher by setting a new track record. Thanks to Kirk for bringing the fine soup and Marty for bringing his goodies to add to the other goodies. I put the final points on the News page.

The first annual Rapid 500 is on the books. Nine racers showed up to do battle, I appreciate every one of them. The race was not with out it's glitches. First the blue lane needed a repair, while plugging in the soldering gun, a short in the plugin box caused the computer to lose the race. So we elected to start over and shorten the race. Then the blue lane needed to be re-repaired! With that done we proceeded to have a fine race.
We ran the classes together and scored separate, it worked out very good.
Thanks to my wife for the soup and potato salad.
This will be the kick off race to our future seasons.

Re: This is the NASCAR page.

NASCAR is back up and running at Rapid Raceway for 2019! Not only the bodies are new, new chassis designs have brought the speeds up in the class. The race on March 9th featured some very close and very fast racing, with lots of action evidenced by more than one off track excursion! So who were the fast guys of the night? Ted of course, DC, Gearloose, Marty, Howie, Bryan, Beau.......well, most everyone but me!

Practice session.

For anyone not at this race, I think it is worth noting that my newly built Nascar did not have legal front tires ..... as there were none available for sale on short notice. So I used the closest facsimile in my box ... 7/8" tall fronts. The new car turned 390 laps, but now I have PLENTY of time to secure a legal set of Nascar fronts before the next race in October.

Re: This is the NASCAR page.

Dennis, here is the deal from my perspective: I have confidence in the racers who have raced here for several years that they will tell me when their cars are illegal and they have done that. Now I have a problem, you never told me you had an illegal car, I had to find it!
So beginning next season I will come up with a plan to make sure everyone is legal BEFORE the points race starts. So thanks to you that means I will have to take time to tech the cars. As every one knows I do not like to take the time to tech, honesty has been playing here for quite some time, but now I must take the bull by the horns and do what is right for everyone! Thanks Dennis!

Yes! I am pissed, especially now that you have made it public in the comment above by making sure you let every one know you "won" the race! NOT COOL!

Re: This is the NASCAR page.

Sorry Howie,  from now on you can bet I will buy the correct tires for the class in plenty of time before the race .... so I don't get stuck having to improvise. If I had the correct fronts ... you can bet they would be on the car.
