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.

Jairus Watson.

Results of a very close race.

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.

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 Sept. 22, 2012.

The previous posts to this topic were copied over from the Northwest True Scale Racers site with Howie's permission. The NTSR site is scheduled to close down at the end of this year. I will be copying over as much of the great information posted there as possible in the next few months.  =====Bill

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

by howie » Sun Apr 24, 2016 8:30 am

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!
