Thanks for the excellent race last night Howie! I can't believe how much use and fun I have gotten out of my Sportsman/Econocar over the years. I've been racing this same car (chassis anyway) for over 10 years! These cars are still a lot of fun!

The Sportsman class always is fun. A simple chassis and some cool cars, close racing, doesn't get much better than that.

Good night of racing. These cars are still a lot of fun after all the years they have been on the scene. Marty has a fast car, but not as fast as the time on the results, a rider I assume.

Last race of the season for the Sportsman class. It was a good time of racing and once again, Kirk brought a crock pot full of one of his fine soups.
Congratulations to Bryan for another fine win.
Kirk challenged the track record for Sportsman and was very successful in establishing a new track record!
We had a drawing for the Viagra NASCAR kit and the winner was Beau, I am sure we will see the car on a chassis in the
future.
We welcome Mitch who raced a borrowed car. Hopefully he can make it to more of our races. He is new to the track, but not to slot racing.
On Jan. 4th. we will be racing the NASCAR class for points to close out the season.
I am very happy that the racing program this year is going well! I believe it will be onward and upward from here.
A discussion on what main two classes to run for points in the 2015 season was held. GT-1, Can-Am, LM Trans-Am came up, but no decision was made at this time. At the end of the season it will be voted on.
Thanks to all who participated at Rapid Raceway in the first half of the season to make it a success. As we all know, without racers, there is no racing!
Go to the News page for the final points count for the Sportsman class.

Race of Nov. 23rd. 2013. Another good race for the Sportsman class. Bryan came through with a win in his fine red '51 Chevy.
We have one more race for the Sportsman class on Dec. 14th. There will be a drawing for a sealed NASCAR kit at this race. Then it is on to NASCAR for the points class for the remainder of the 2014 season.
Thanks to Kirk who showed up with a crock pot full of some mighty good food, add chips, sandwiches, pop, coffee, cookies, dinner rolls etc.. We took a break halfway through the race to eat.
Kirk's car, good for third place.
Bryan's winning car.

Oct. 5th. 2013, kick off race of the new 2014 season. The Sportsman class is the points class for half of the season. This was a good race, these cars are fun and simple. Bob N. starts off leading the points chase with a win in his very fast '49 Ford.
Bill was racing a Matador, a first for the brand!
To check on points: go to the News page.
Bob Nak's nice looking and winning '49 Ford.

Another good race out of the GT3 class. What is up with the Pro Slot motors? Bob N. has burned up two or three of them even though they were new, I had a new motor in this race and toward the last 5 laps, it slowed considerably. It was a new motor and very fast, it never smoked or smelled like it was burning up. It never stopped running, just slowed to kind of a crawl! I'll have to tear it apart to see what happened as I couldn't see where the damage was with the motor still in the car.
L-R:Ted, Howie, Beau, Marty.
