Rules for event are as follows:

Scaleracing Trans-am rules:
Handout Slip-on tires are available
Stock gearing of 11/38
Prototype cars can be run with the above gearing, but if performance difference is noted we will score them separately. There should be plenty of cars to go around.

Scaleracing BRM Mini-cars:
Trued tires allowed, otherwise completely stock.

Policar f1:
Aluminum rear wheels and slip on F22 tires
No weight
Screw tuning etc allowed.

NASTE club car rules:
Class 16 - Sportscar Era Class - Ground Effect Era (GFX)
Ground Effect Era (GFX) - Full fendered sportscars from 1981 through 1993 which ran in FIA, IMSA, or SCCA sanctioned events. Any motors (23k limit), tires, driveline configuration, or chassis material may be used. Bodies must be injection molded or resin cast and not vacuum molded. Thunderslot brand RTR cars are NOT eligible for this class, but their driveline components (wheels, axles, gears, tires) and guide assembly may be used for tuning
Typical car for this class is a prepared Slot.it Group C car.


I have been working on this with Alan for some time. The goal here is to have a format in which we all can race without the problematic differences in club rulesets. It is not perfect, nor can it be and make everyone happy. I selected the GFX sports car class for us to bring along, as I feel most of us have well performing versions of this car. I know Al has three.

I wanted to keep it to a 1 day bang, so we packed the day with some exciting races I think everyone will enjoy. The Enduro specifically will be Trans am and mini cars combined. I think overall, it will be a blast!

If you can make it, please let me know, as we will be gauging interest in the event to make sure appropriate time and cars are available. I am more than willing to provide a vehicle with which to car pool I can take at least 3 passengers along.

I am in. It's on my calendar. I can take one other person if needed.

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Sorry to say it's not a date we can make.  That's the Saturday before our major rally event, we'll be route checking from Tualatin to Newport.

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

I don’t have a car for most of the classes (TransAm, Scaleauto Mini, I’m not going to take the weight out of my Policar F1)and the one I have a car for is not competitive. (Gr. C). Just the same it sounds like fun.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Rico, thats the beauty of it. We only have to bring the groupc cars. They are bringing all of the cars they race. We all get a taste of whats out there without worrying about rules.

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Damn, I have company in from out of town that week.

If cars are needed, let me know.  My fleet needs exercise.  I haven't been providing it.

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

I'm in !

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Alright guys, this race is happening THIS WEEKEND.

I was hoping for a better turnout from our side, but I think there will be enough people in attendance to have some good fun racing. I got a couple GFX cars, ready to go, and AL also has a few to bring to along.

I am planning on leaving my shop right by the Portland airport around 7:30am on Saturday, I should have room for a couple passengers if you would like to carpool.

Hope to see you there!

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Sorry I won't be able to make it Zack.

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Zack, a few questions:

1) Do I need to bring car(s)?
2) What's the address of your shop, and could I carpool with you?
3) What time do you expect to be back in Portland?

I have permission to participate...so I'm ready to go!

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Wish we could make it. That will be one week prior to our rally and we'll be buried in details.  Give 'em heck!

Stan, you dont need to bring any other than something you may like to run for fun. We should have enough gfx cars to go around.

I am hoping to leave up there around 5. Be back in town by 8.

Shop adress is 13339 ne airport way. Suite #500.

Carpooling should be no problem!

Zack

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

I am planning on going unless something unexpected comes up. We can figure out carpooling on Thursday night.

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Zack,
I'm a possible maybe but I'll probably be driving myself in case I have to cover some kind of work emergency, or a Mom emergency of some kind.

Re: ****Showdown at Scaleracing Center, date is set*****

Zack— I will see you at 7:30 on Saturday morning at your shop. Thanks!!
