Hey Doc, just top clarify the Scalextric GT3 cars ARE legal for the Odd Thursday Night GT Class.
I'd be happy to add the Scalextric GT3 Class to our list of classes. You would be the class sponsor Doc which means the rules, clarifications, and any changes would be your call.
Input or concerns from any other racers?

In preparation for next week's Fray in Ferndale race, Terry Abbott opened his doors and let us get some set up and practice time on his Buck Track. It looks like it will be Dave Smith, Anthony Schoepflin, Monte Saager, Mike Leech, and I on the Oregon Team for the 2017 Fray.
Thanks Terry for letting get some track time!

February 23rd Odd Thursday at Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway in Portland.
We had an outstanding crowd for this Odd Thursday race, a field of 12. Welcome back to new comer Fernando Carvalho, and it was good to see Dick Gehrke stop by and run some laps with us!
The racing started off with the Can Am Class cars with Chris Kouba leading the way to the checkered flag. Dan Fritz returned to his usual second place spot. Amy Fields had an impressive drive for a third place finish, one of her best finishes to date.
Next up was the NASTE Point Series Race with the Le Mans Class cars. Chris Kouba scored another wi, this time with Terry Abbott close behind, and Dan Fritz dropping to third. First through eighth all had over 60 laps, with only 5 laps separating first from eighth. The racing was very close!
For the BRM Group C Race the field dropped to eight but the intensity went up, as usual for the BRM class! This time Al Christensen took the win followed by Chris Kouba one lap back. Dan Fritz again fought his way to third.
Last but not least was the Over 50 Class where Mitch Brooks narrowly beat out Al Christensen with Bill Bostic following a ways back in third. All the classes added up to some very close and extremely fun racing! Thanks to Al Christensen for hosting and to everyone that brought snacks!

Great work day yesterday!..........
Realization this morning; I am TOO old for real WORK!
But really happy with how much we got done. We have very good paint protection on the gravity cars now. Getting close to finished with the MKI & MKII, then work will start on the Hawksbill Flyer!
All three cars are now pre-registered for the Portland Adult Soap Box Derby event in August. We are still looking for more voluteers. Volunteers are needed for track work and for assistance in the pits with the cars!
I bet it will look something like this!
Thanks Hoiwe, I already know we could use any extra help we can get! Plus we will need folks who are willing to volunteer for track work for the organizers. I am planning to voluteer for early set up again this year. Early set helps with the course layout from 5:30am to 9:00am or so.
The date of the race is Saturday August 19, 2017.
The actual race will probably be set to start around 10:00am and end around 4:00pm. Volunteers can sign up to help out at various times throughout the day.
We need to start thinking about volunteers for the 2017 Portland Adult Soap Box Derby!
With 3 team cars we are going to need a minimum of 6 voluteers for various event duties as well as team members in the pits!
Start hitting people up NOW!!!

OMG Doc....You and me dude.......we are like cerebral twins!!!
We are more than wiling to follow your example oh masterful one! I just want to get mine on the track!

Remind me to get your autograph!!!
In yesterday's work session Chris, Dave, and I got both the Mark I and Mark II stripped downand ready for paint preparation.
"Terry's entry (the Scuderia Kouba GT40) is actually USRRC. "
"And he'd like to buy a vowel..."
Corrections made....BOTH of them! Sorry about that!!!

I had a lot of fun racing at last night's Odd Thursday race! Although the turn out was somewhat light, the enthusiasm was just the opposite! We had some very close racing and we also had the pleasure of meeting a new racer Fernando, who quickly adapted to the Too Bad Motorplex course.
We started the night of racing with the Can Am Class. Chris was the winner, followed by Terry, and Doc. Next up were the Le Mans Class car which was the NASTE Point Series Race of the evening. The top four cars in this race were all within one lap of each other. Rico posted his fifth point series race win of this season! Chris and Terry were in a tie for total laps, with Chris' faster lap breaking the tie for second. Everyone stuck around for the BRM Group C race which made for a near record setting number of entries. Chris again raced to the win followed by Dan in second and Rico in third. The Over 50 Class was raced with a field of eight, again another great attendance mark for the last class race of the night. Mitch was back up to speed and returned to the first place spot on the podium. He was followed closely, just 1/10th of a lap behind, by Al. Bryan ran a great race to finish third.
Highlights of the night's racing included Chris beaking the total accumulated laps record and the fastest lap time record in the Can Am Class. One of the closest finishes in a points race with Rico just 3/10ths of a lap ahead of Terry and Chris who were tied for second. Chris' 1/4 of a second quicker lap time over Terry secured the second place spot. In the wild BRM race Dan's Porsche made contact with the inside wall imbedding his car's front diaplane in the wooden structure. That was definitely a first at TooBad Motorplex! Earlier in the race Rico had taken an off-table excursion which destroyed the back end of his Porsche 962. Nobody ever said the BRM class was easy! In the Over 50 Class we saw three California Sportsman cars entered finishing fourth, fifth, and seventh. It really was a fun night! Thanks to all that made it out!
Here are the results:

1 Chris Kouba 62.1

We ran the NASTE BRM Porsche 962 IROC race there with the stock rubber tires and they seemed to work fine.
Early start and late finish is OK with me.
