Thanks to Bill for helping to spray the track, it was good from the first car on the track to the last car on the track!

Perhaps Bill will post some pictures that I will send him. Thanks Bill!

Stumbly; I would think that it would be neat to have you come over and check out the action! This is not my track, but I believe Bob would invite you also. Oct. 3rd. is my race at Rapid Raceway and you are VERY welcome to check it out. It is the Rapid 500. I always have cookies and coffee on hand to all that come through the door!

I am looking forward to getting one of my True Scale cars on the track, it is going to be fun. I think this will give the track a better flow. The new driver's stations will be a good addition also. Good design work Bill!

Man Bill; you have been busy! I will be gone for most of this week, but when I get back I am available to give you a hand if you want. Your progress is looking good!

A very nice field of ten cars!

Bob Nakamura's entry.

Ted wasn't the only racer to have an off track experience, but he did get the furthest from the track!

Marty's Porsche 962 featured a light kit with headlights and tail lights.

I have an answer for ya Bill, but I won't publish it!

I am rescheduling the 962 race on June, 20, 2020.

The 2nd. race of the Columbia Gorge Championship will be at Rapid Raceway. Doors open at 11:00am. and racing to start at 1:30pm. $10.00 entry fee which will include Pizza and pop. Coffee and cookies as usual. Hope to see you all here.

I know the virus is not over, but I need to get this race on the books as summer ( if we don't get screwed out of one like we did last yr. ) may be too hot in the shop for racing.

Beings we will be racing the NASTRUCKS for the first half of the season I thought maybe some one might be looking for a truck body with out spending much.

1/25th. AMT Chevy. $10.00. I already glued it together for slot racing. No decals.

TMI. Evidently Dennis, you are bored as Hell.

Fellow racers; here is the way the votes went for what to race for the first half of the 2021 racing season.

1st.     Early Sportsman, will be the points class......9 votes.
2nd.    NASTRUCKS, will be the back up....................8
3rd.    962.................................................................7
4th.    NASCAR..........................................................3
5th.    TA2 and Indy..................................................1 each.

I will more than likely schedule a special race for the TA2. I hate to see a class collect dust!

I will also send out an email before the season starts for a vote on what two classes to run for the second half of the season, that way we will know well in advance and it will be on the schedule instead of TBA!

Dennis; there is a for sale page on the Rapid site, why don't you post those Fusions there. I am sure you would get some interest.
