Topic: TA2 & 4.5 Flexi races at Springwater on March 27th

It was so nice to see a few racers together at Springwater Raceway again! A few of us showed up to race Northwest True Scale spec TA2 class cars, and a new class for us, the 4.5" Flexi COT NASCARs. The racing was really close in both classes and it looked like everyone had a great time! COVID precautionary guidelines were strictly adhered to!!!

Re: TA2 & 4.5 Flexi races at Springwater on March 27th

I had a fantastic fun day of racing, thanks Bob for hosting.  I really enjoyed the flexi cars and my TA car got better with a little tuning and soldering. Now that Ted is leaving us, I guess I will finally have to improve my soldering skills so I don't lose so many laps re-soldering pinions.

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