PASER Monday at Rob's Redline Raceway proved to be a competitive and fun night of racing. Newcomer Steven Page brought a new, out of the box Flexi car and raced here for the first time. Great job Steven. A total of 7 racers braved a cold evening to come and play. Racers were vying for the coveted Weener Winner points that were up for grabs. Both races had close racing for all positions but Rob and Racerbob fought for top dog all night.

One of the great things about local club racing is the willingness to help one another with car prep, repairs and even loaning cars so everyone can race. I apologize for not taking any pictures. Each race ran 1 time through with 4 minute heats.

Here are the final results:

I know this is going to be hard to believe (it's hard for ME to believe)!

I am totally out of steel Parma Womp chassis (new or used) to sell!

I have only my one car I race and one new in the package vintage chassis (which I will not sell) left. If anyone has a line on used Womps for sale please let me know. I would be interested in buying a lot if the price were right. It appears they have become very popular and a complete car is currently going for around $50 on Ebay. If you have casr you would like to sell yourself I can hook you up with buyers!

We are going to need more cars and chassis to keep this class afloat for furture racing!

Yesterday Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway hosted a late model NASCAR race. All entries were required to comply with the OSCAR rules for late model NASCAR. 12 racers showed up for the race, some of whom had built cars at the chassis class Stuart Wall put on awhile back. The standard OSCAR format was not used as this was not an official OSCAR race. Instead we raced 3 rounds of 4 minute heats with the starting line up set randomly by the computer. The last round of racing was set by the race director based on the racer's first round finish positions. There was no qualifying period.

From the drop of the green flag it was obvious this was going to be a fast group of race cars! Like them or not, I believe everyone would agree these are some fast, excellent handling, hardbody slot cars! Lee Dundas Sr. and Bob McFarland truly lead us into the promised land of hardbody slot car racing! These cars are unique to Oregon and now southern Washington. They are not raced anywhere else!

But back to the race. In the first round Stuart made a statement by besting the field. Bob was the only racer close to Stuart, just 3 laps behind. Bart was racing the chassis he built in Stuart's class, and was in the hunt in third with a strong run. Mike showed his newly built chassis was a contender by holding the fourth spot.

First round results:

PASER Monday was Womp night. 7 Racers came to have some fun and put their skills to the test at The Gorge Raceway. These cars have proven to be very close in performance and handling. After a couple hours of testing and showing what racers have been working on, it was time to get down to business. This race had Weener Winner (Weekly Winner) Points were up for grabs. It was decided to run 2 races for 2 Weener points; 3.5 minute heats / 1 time through. The results show some very close racing all the way down the finishing order. Thank you to those who came out.
