Thanks guys. I like to help get people in the sport/hobby as much as I can. Thanks to Beau, Bill and Bob who helped a lot. This takes more than one "veteran" to pull this off.

Re: Items For Sale. (9 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
I have a Ford Fusion body for the NASCAR class. It is a snap kit all glued for slot racing. It only has the body and glass. I screwed up the paint job so bad that I just put it in a box and left it. $10.00.

Re: Columbia Gorge Championship race. (17 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
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.

Re: Items For Sale. (9 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
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.

Re: This is the Indy car page. (70 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
I noticed a huge difference in the number of laps we turned this year over last year. We ran the same amount of time. same amount of times through, same motors etc. The only change I can think of is the spray glue over the spot glue that I used to do. I got a few good comments during the last couple races about the spray over the spot glue.

Re: What's up? (97 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
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!

Re: This is the Can Am page. (115 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
Dennis, here is the way the vote rules are: We always vote on what two classes are to be run next. The two classes that have just run like the Can-Am and the Early Modified are ineligible for the next vote which would be the start of the 2021 season. However they will be eligible for the second half of the coming season. So they have a chance to be voted in before years go by.
