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.

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.

The race of Nov. 14, '15. I put this race results on this page because we combined the Sportsman and TA2 so everyone could race. The TA2 cars out numbered the Sportsman cars. It was a no points race so no big deal, and fun.
Left to right: Sportsman ( Ted ) TA2 ( Bob N. ) Sportsman ( Blake ) TA2 ( Howie )

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!

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!

I am a little bit surprised and quite happy that the TA2 class was voted to be one of two classes that we will compete with for points in the 2015 season. Hopefully that should bring up the number of cars competing!

The name of Late Model Trans-Am is going to be changed to: TA2. The reason is because there is a series called TA2 that is racing the late model Camaro, Mustang and soon to be Challenger in 1-1 scale. This series is a spin off/continuation of the Trans-Am that started in 1966. This is exactly what we are doing. If you go to links and click on Late Model Trans-Am, it will take you to their web site. Then click on Trans-Am 101 and you will read what TA2 is, also TA and TA3. Our rules will not change.

The race of Jan. 26th. 2013. The first race of the TA2 class. These cars are nice looking and handle ok. The rules have been modified ( check out the rules section ) to go wider on the tracking both front and rear with the addition of fender flairs to help the handling and to copy the look of the current 1-1 scale TA2.
Congratulations to Bob Nak. for winning the first TA2 race with his fine Mustang!!
Kirk is in better shape than he thought he was, he made it into the "Hole". Thanks Kirk.
The "outlaw" green car is of the OSCAR kind, Stuart wanted to race but didn't have a legal car. He was DQ'd.
