Today on Mother's day, Blake asked me if I would build him an Early Modified. YES I will!! He already picked the kit out and wants to paint it when I am done building it.

If you want to get into an exciting race, try open wheel! The Early Modified is really a fun class to drive as you need to be cautious going into corners which makes for some exciting times! I really like open wheel racing and this class with the old cars ( like me!! ) is a great way to finish up the night! This class will be the runner up to the points class Can-Am starting on March 21st.
Marty's winning car. He made the decals to represent a 76 station his dad had in Idaho when Marty was in his youth.

Race of Feb. 22, 2014. The Early Modifieds are gaining popularity! The entries are gaining ground as racers find that these cars are a lot of fun and handle great, not to mention the good looks. It was Gearloose's night as he won both classes. James set a new track record with Beau's car. Track records are on the News page.

The race of Oct. 6, 2012. Small turnout for the night, but what a great race!! For those who shun open wheel racing: you are missing out! This was definitely to me the most exciting race I have had in yrs. You have to drive with skill and keep on your toes at all times, like a Grand Prix driver!! To go three wide into the bank and curves is thrilling, especially if it continues lap after lap. That was the way this race went more than a few times. We did not get done with racing 'till about 11:30pm and no one wanted to go for the track record so it is still open.
Results of a great race.

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!

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.
