That sounds good to me Rico. I'll run a round with the NASTE Sports Racers we ran at Howie's, then we can run a Trans Am Class race. We should have enough loaner cars to get through it? I've got two cars we can use.

This Thursday Sept. 8th TooBad Motorplex in Fairview will be open for a special night of racing for NASTE members and the members of the Ford Driving School.
Doors open at 4:00pm with racing to start at 5:00pm. The main race of the evening will be an IROC style race with the 1/24 NASTE Sports Racers as raced at Rapid Raceway last season. We will also race the Trans Am Class as spec'd for Odd Thursday racing.
This race is sponsored by Jeff & Amy Fields. Plan to come out for some racing, food, and fun!

Here's a photo of yet another Rannalli chassied modified ready for competition. This one was built by Dan Fritz.
I think there are enough of these out there ready to race to add them to my next Saturday race at TooBad Motorplex in a class of their own. This class will be designated the TBR (Team Bluegroove Rannalli) Modified Class.

Off to a good start for September! Odd Thursday Night Racing on September 1st -
We had a great crowd of 14 racers fielding cars for the Can Am / USRRC and Le Mans Classes. It was really nice to see Goose Gossett, Dennis Hart, and Jeff Burns back at the track.
The Can Am / USRRC cars took the track first. We had five cars entered in the USRRC Division. Monte Saager raced to the overall win and firts in the Can Am Division with his Slot.it Alfa 33/3. Gary Goose Gossett tied Dennis Hart for eighth overall overall and first in the USRRC Division driving his MRRC Chaparral.
In the Le Mans Class Goose showed he had lost nothing in the skill department by taking the win. Dan Fritz gave the Goose a good finishing second just over a lap behind. And just a lap behind Dan was Jeff Fields in third. It was a very close race!
After we had completed racing the Can Am and Le Mans classes we ran the first Oregon leg of the Pony Car Wars Proxy. Thanks to Monte for organizing this event and giving us the opportunity to run the cars. It was a lot of fun!

Congrats on your win Monte! The Nissan was fast and you were driving like a pro!
Sorry I had to leave early Bob, but not before I had a chance to gobble down one of those delicious BBQ hot dogs!
Thanks for a great race day Bob & Terry!

I'll show up early some time to help with the modified race screens.
Thanks Stan, that would be great! I just can't seem to get that done. Computers are just not my area of expertise!
