Race of March 1st. 2014. Only four 962's showed up to race. Gary and Dima raced Can-Am cars. Dima is doing an excellent job of learning the track. Marty overwhelmed us with his super handling and fast Jack Daniels 962, the rest of us have our work cut out to get up to speed with him! Marty and Beau challenged for the track record. Marty won that also with a run of 4.5023 sec. Beau ran a very respectable 4.5167 sec. The two man team enduro was mentioned as a possibility for next season.

Turn out the lights, it is time to race!! Finally, we had enough 962's to have a night race. I heard there are a couple new 962's on the drawing board for the next night race in March.
Beau came through with a very decisive race with his new 962 and Gearloose who had no lights, took an impressive second, evidently he knows the track!!
Thanks to Hugh and Kirk for staying and corner marshaling for this race.
Even though I took last place in both races tonight, I had a good time, there is more to it than just racing.
Some lights did not come on 'till track power was on.
Beau's winning 962.

This class will be added to the classes next ( 2014 ) season. This class was designed for the enduro, but not enough teams entered to race. So to those who built cars, you will have a chance to race them next season. This is the class that will have headlights and will be raced at night. It will be a blast!!

Good racing with the GT-1 class. This may be one of the classes for points for the 2015 season. A vote will decide later in the year.

Start of the 2014 season. Race of Oct. 5, 2013. This was a very close race and a lot of fun. Thanks to those who showed up on such a nice day to make it a great start to the new season.

Race of March 30th. 2013. These cars are fast and nice looking!
Results of a fun race!

Racer Bob; I think that is a great idea. Let's see what we can do to make that happen. I hate it that we have no night racing but once a yr. Let's use the track lights that are already up and waiting. I will bring it up at the next race on Dec. 15th. Thank you for suggesting this.
by racerbob » Thu Nov 29, 2012 10:05 pm
Here is a suggestion.......run the lexan 962 bodies on a GT-1 race night. Kind of a IROC type race because all the bodies are the same.

The race of Oct. 6, 2012. Small turnout for the night, but the racing gets better and better. Congratulations to Marty for winning his first race, he walked away from us with his great looking and handling Jaguar!! We did not finish racing 'till about 11:30pm. and nobody wanted to go for the track record, so it is still open.
Results of a fun race.

News and race reports pertaining to GT-1 will be on this page.
This is a GT-1 Scholer chassis.

For the final time this yr. the Can-Am took to the track. This is a VERY popular class, one that will be in the forefront for a long time.

Race of Nov. 14th. '15. The first points race of the season. It was very close racing. The repair to the track made for longer guide flag brush life I believe, at least mine looked a heck of a lot better after the race concluded. Jairus Watson came up and didn't race, but he is doing a report on North West tracks for the new Slot Cars Magazine. He did corner marshal the entire race though and I thank him for that. I believe he had a good time, hope so. Thanks to Susan and John Gill for the bag of candy bars that was left over from Holloween, they were a popular hit!
At the starting line, left to right: Howie, Gearloose, Beau, Bob N.
Bob Schiefer' Can-Am car, nice! and a good runner.

I had a great time racing the Can Am cars last night Howie! I'm hoping with a little more work I can improve my performance as well as my car's at the next race!
by howie » Sun Oct 18, 2015 8:35 am
First Can-Am race of the season. It was supposed to be for points, but thanks to my error it turned into a no points fun race! Beau took the checkered with his new chassis.
Beaus new and winning Can-Am. Ted's car #22 also.
Bill's new Can-Am with an old chassis he updated for this class.

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!
