Zack, and Bill; yes the DD281, I got the numbers mixed up, imagine that!

Zack; you are up to twelve for sure chassis with 2 more possibles according to my list and that is not including you.

Nice car, I really like the color!

Hoping to get the race started by about 1:15 to 1:30. If you think you are going to be a little late I can put you in last, give me a call if that is the case.

Not only was Bad Bob a slot car guru, he was also a good dirt biker. He asked me to go on a dirt bike trip across the Columbia river to the Washington side. He provided me with a good dirt bike beings mine isn't legal these days. It was an all day event and I had a very good time with him and a friend of his. I took this picture of him during the trip on Aug. 3, 2012.

I will miss BB a lot, he was a good friend, good sense of humor, all around good guy. He will always be a big part of my memory, especially at slot car events. He was a major player in keeping the 1/24 slot car scene going in the Portland and surrounding area.

He and I always enjoyed teasing each other about Harley's vs. Honda's, Yamaha's and any thing but a Harley for Bad Bob!I will forever miss that.

RIP BB.

I agree with Bill 100%. This body issue has been going on for too long! Here is what I am going to do at Rapid: Get a committee of 7 racers who will have the power to vote on what body is legal. I have talked to two racers already about this and they said they would be on the committee with me. So I need 4 more racers. The body list on the Can-Am rules will be eliminated. If you want a body that may be controversial  then you need to bring a picture of the 1 to 1 car and the slot car body.  If a car shows up for a race and looks to be an illegal car, the committee can check it out and if it is indeed voted to be an illegal car then it can't race, not even a DQ!

This will take effect before the next race on Feb. 22, 2020.

This is a HUGE relief to me, the thing will not be just on my shoulders any more! I may even vote this class in some day!

If you are interested to be on the committee please email me at howieandsandy@hotmail.com or call me at 503-252-7692.

Points for the 2020 season in the Can-Am class.

I asked Bill to add Lance's car on the Projects page. You will find it there.

Final 2020 points for the Late Model Sportsman class are at the top of this page in order.

Bill put in a lot of time also, he helped me clean rubber off the track and braid and sprayed the track with the glue. I really never did the spray as I was afraid it would get all over and make a big mess, but it did great! That is the way I will go from now on. I know if the braid is clean our guide flag brushes will last a lot longer.  I was very happy with the track condition last night. It will stay that way!
