1/24th. BRM's on the track built mainly for 1/32nd. cars. I had to be convinced that this was possible even though I was told by Bill that this actually worked and was a lot of fun. Well it does work and it is a lot of fun!

Advantages of the Scholer chassis for the North West True Scale racer: 1. The Scholer cassis can be used in 6 out of the 8 classes: NASCAR, GT1, Can-Am, TA-2, 962, Indy. 2. The Scholer can be adjusted for height as tires wear out. 3. The same chassis can be transferred to different classes with adjustments. 4. They are not very expensive compared with other like chassis.
Scholer chassis break down: The Intruder, # 155-1360 long wheel base. It has suspension up front. $59.95. The Pantera, # 1102001 $44.95, this is the number one chassis we use. The Tiger, short, good for some Can-Am bodies. $44.95. All these are available at Professor Motor. The Striker # 5513DGT. This is a chassis designed for the NASCAR body. It has suspension up front. $79.95. It is available from Grid 1.
The first picture is Bill's #1102001 Scholer chassis with his home made side pans and cooling holes. The next two pictures are of the Striker chassis.

Mystery solved.
John Gill made the flyer for Howie back in 2002 to advertise the very first race held at Rapid Raceway!

Does anyone know where this flyer came from?
What year?
Who made the flyer?

Final race at Rapid for the 2014 season and what a night it was. 20 racers showed up to do battle and eat some fine food! I don't have the final results, but Dave Smith led the way around the track in the expert division and Dorothy the "Hammer" led the way in the amateur division. It was a lot of fun as usual when the NASTE comes to race here!
The '55 Chevy's made another appearance and new this yr. was Chris's BRM 962's, very nicely done cars.
For a more detailed race results go to the NASTE site listed in our links.
Thanks to Bill for helping clean the track and finding some braid that had come up, in fact quite a bit of it!!
Have a great summer!!

Bob; set one up in a car, let's see how it runs. If it is equal to a Deathstar, it will be a hard sell, few racers in our area like them. Frankly, I like the path we have been taking, one motor to choose from and cheap at that!. I have several seasons on most of my Parma motors.

I want to throw this out there for consideration. At the Doubleheader at Spare Time Raceway, We were given the option of running a Kelly or Proslot sealed 16D motor. The performance was about the same as a Deathstar, but they had Gold dust brushes, Better springs and the end play was consistent. The arms are balanced Chinese arms. These motors cost almost the same as a Deathstar. These motors are also available as sealed Super 16Ds. and retail for about 15 dollars at PCH parts express. I am sure we can get them cheaper through the club. This could be a cost cutting measure if they run even longer than the Parma Supers. Just looking for some feedback on this idea.

Thanks for opening your track to us again Howie! I know everybody had a great time racing Halloween cars at Rapid Raceway! ===========Bill

20 racers showed up with their special cars to celebrate Halloween. Plenty of good food and goodies were on hand. A lot of fun was had, made for a great and very enjoyable night. The cars were really a work of art and they really shined during the night as most had lights. There were a lot of cool cars that I missed getting pictures of.
Hammer time!!
Barbie's head rotated all the way around as the car went around the track!

Thanks for the great day of racing. Howie provided us all with an opportunity to get together and share some laughs. Thanks to Gary's girls for their help with lunch. Great pizza!! Thanks again Howie....

It was a good day of racing Bill, thanks for sticking it out for the whole event.
There are three ladies I have to give a big THANKS to: Johneen Manno, Kala and Nia. These three cooked the four Pizzas, cut them up and delivered them to the racers. Without them, I don't know how the Pizzas would have turned out with me trying to race and oversee the racing, I probably would have burned them or worse. So a BIG thanks for the great Pizza ladies. These three may join us in racing here and they are very welcome to give it a shot and I will help as much as possible to get them on their way.

Bad Bob ( Checkered Flag ) and I decided to combine our classes for this race here at Rapid Raceway. And what a day it was. We did a NASCAR race splitting the Sprint Cup ( home builds ) and Nationwide ( Scholers ). Great turnout for the NASCAR class. Doors opened at 11:00am. and we were done with all the classes about 8:00pm. or so. A lot of racing and fun was had.
