And to Bill for a podium finish.
Thanks to all who participated in this 3 race series at 3 different tracks. We are going to do it in the 2023 season also, so for those who like the format and the slick looking 962's, you have plenty of time to prepare your car.

Coming up is the 20th. year anniversary of racing at Rapid Raceway. The first official race was held on Nov. 16, 2002. So in Nov. 2022 we will have a special race commemorating the 20 yrs. of active racing. Also Inslots Checkered Flag Raceway is going on it's 20 yrs. also as the tracks were built at the same time. We held a practice at each track, 1st. at Rapid and then traveled to Checkered Flag the same day.

That is about 2 1/2 or so hrs. away. We have a couple guys who come down from the Seattle area for the big races. I would think that Sam's drive would be a lot more enjoyable with the scenery etc.

Re: Projects: Done/Not So Done (259 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
Thanks Bill. This repair looks good in the picture, but in person it is not that good looking of a body repair, but after all it is a slot car going into battle again.

Re: Projects: Done/Not So Done (259 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
Repairing damage from a race at Springwater Raceway. 1st. picture is the damage, yes that is a hole!

2nd picture is screen on the underside with Shoe Goo holding it in place.

3rd. picture is topside showing the screen.

4th. picture is the Glazing putty added.

5th. picture is the results, good enough for a slot car. This car has been in racing for many yrs. and to buy a new 3 window '36 Ford is expensive if you can find one! No matter what the damage I will repair as best as I can.

Bill will add photos when he gets time. Thanks Bill.

For the area that the track is in if I owned it I would have to have to add the word "country" in the name somewhere. Should be interesting to see what he names it.

Bill; you got a lot of pictures of me with my hands in my pockets! Good thing that is not a picture for my resume! Dwayne has a co-worker that everyone calls "pockets" because that is where his hands are most of the time!
That is going to be a fun track once again. Has Ron put a new name on it yet?
