We had a pretty good turnout ( about 10 racers ) for a sunny day. Thanks to those who came and warmed up their cars and the track for the upcoming season.

This project sat on my bench for quite some time. The problem was that 1+inch rear wheels didn't fit well and the car ran poorly with them. After looking at the Tifosi chassis, I noticed that there were two sets shims that determined the wheel height. I removed one set of shims and viola - The wheels still look "scale" and the car looks and runs much better. Here are couple of images. To see more images click on the photo section of the Electron Raceway Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ElectronRaceway/ and then look at the album entitled Rich's Cars. (you must be a member to look at this section - it takes only a few minutes to join!)

The rules section covers Can-Am and all the classes that we run here at Rapid Raceway. Can-Am and NASCAR are open chassis, you can build it or buy it any way you want. angle winder, side winder, in line.
Through out this site are pictures of the Scholer chassis, and some home made chassis. The early Modified is a copy of the Bob Hanna Econo chassis.
We are trying to keep it simple and as inexpensive as possible.

Hi,
We have been running at Electron Raceway in Roseburg on a fairly regular basis for the past several months. My focus has been True Scale. Many of the other locals have built cars - GT1s. I've started a group on Yahoo that will have race announcements, results, Photos and more. I have posted nearly 150 images, some going back to the Slot Car Convention in 2005. I've also posted an article about the Trans Am written by Sam Posey in the Files section of the site. Here is the group address http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ElectronRaceway/ (you will have to become a member to view the images and files but you can look at messages and the home page even if you are not a member. It takes a few minutes to become a member and I encourage you to do so).

I'll be contributing to the threads here as appropriate.

BTW - We might be interested in your Can Am Class. Any images of chassis, building instructions, tuning tips etc. would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to see the Scholer, more detail on the Flexi Chassis and other alternatives.

Happy Slotting
Rich V

I think that is an excellent idea as the stock headlight buckets are pretty weak. I installed the stock ones and installed a piece of plastic after cutting out the headlights then glued in the lights. I believe your idea is better as I think the first hit may do some damage.

Hey racers,
Here is a suggestion that I tried and it worked well. I have an old hard body 962 and I cut the headlight buckets out and put them in the lexan 962. They fit perfect and they give protection for the lights. I just used filament reinforced tape to hold them in.

The track has been up and running since Nov. 2002. The Silky brothers did the routing and bolted it together and left it as you see it in the first two pictures with Kirk and I. The Silky brothers were doing some track work at Raceway U.S.A. for Howard and did this job while here, I think they were from Minnesota. John Gill and I spent about every other Sat. during the summer finishing it up. I wound up re-routing it as the guys did not rout it deep enough, but all I had to do was follow their lines.
