Race of April 4, 2015. We had another good and close race with just 5 entries! We raced three classes and took time between for coffee, cookies and general BS'n! I thank Gearloose, John Fisher, Bob Nak., Beau for showing up and to have a good time! That we did.
We raced 3 classes of cars and had 3 different winners!
Results: Homebuilt 1st. Gearloose...392 laps. 4.617363 Red.
" 2nd. Beau........387 4.608813 Blue.
" 3rd. John F......378 4.617220 Red
Scholer 4th. Bob Nak....376 4.780666 Red
" 5th. Howie......371 4.780929 Red.
The Red lane was really the hot lane tonight for this class. I will clean the track before the next race.
We discovered that the track power is down to 11.3 volts for some reason. The voltage is normally 13+ I will see if I can find out what the problem is, I know..................I'll call Hugh!!
Points will be added to the News page.
During the off season there will be a home built chassis session for the Can-Am cars, we already have 5 racers so far who want to participate!

John Fisher's new home built and nice Mclaren. Detail is GREAT!

The battle continues between the scratchhbuilders and the Production chassis groups in this class. Sometimes close sometimes not, but the challenge is still on. It's a good spirited battle with many races to go. Let's go Production group!!!!!

The Can-Am class has moved up a notch or two thanks to BB! He won the race and set a new track record: under 4 seconds! The fastest legal car ever to race here. The official time is on the News page. Thanks to all who showed up to race, it was fun!

Race of Feb. 16th. 2013. A great race was had with this group of racers. Not a lot of time to relax, you were either racing or corner marshalling. In between races we took a break and drank coffee, had a cookie or two, Bill added to the goodie bench and basically bs'd, practiced with the NASCAR's and had a good time.

Race of April 30th. '16. Once again Beau wins with his fast and consistant Camaro.

This was one heck of a low turnout! But we pulled it off and had a blast doing it!! One guy was posted at the computer to hit the track call button. Bill and I shared a car. Blake is going to get another Challenger, this snap kit was way too heavy.

All brands were present for take off. L-R: Blake, Beau, Bill/Howie, Marty.

Race of Feb. 24th. 2015. Close racing once again. Ted's grandson "Igor" came up from Bend where he races at Tom Street's track, he didn't have the proper car for the classes so he was DQ'd but he did catch on to the track rather quickly.
John fisher built a very nice looking Mustang, his theme is yellow and blue paint. This is the car's first race.
Beau in his fast and great looking Camaro took top spot.

Bill's Camaro, looks like he has been "mixing" it up pretty good!

Another very fun race with six veteran drivers. We had three different classes tonight and three different winners. Made for a really good/fun night of racing. Points for this race has been added to the season total on the News page.

Stuart's Mustang.

You all have heard that big things come in small packages, this race proved that to be true! 6 racers made up the field in both classes. Every racer thought this race was a good one. Lot of close racing all night long and some time left over to BS and plan ahead. I was concerned when 3:00pm. showed up and Bill and I were the only ones here. I was also concerned about the rest of the season. However if we can have great races such as this, no problem with the low turnout!
