Re: PASER Even Thursday (65 replies, posted in PASER)
Due to low interest and racer turn out, the track owners decided to suspend the Even Thursday racing until the start of the new season in September. However, I have received comments from a few racers interested in racing during the summer. If there is enough interest I'm sure we could put together at least a couple races before the start of the new season in September.
Who is interested in racing before the start of the 2024 season in September?

Re: Why aren't we currently racing at Inslot' Checkered Flag Raceway? (3 replies, posted in InSlot's Checkered Flag Raceway)
Sometime around 1984 I purchased this roll deck display case from Hobbies Unlimited on North Interstate Avenue in the Overlook neighborhood. Circumstances dictated the need to sell it around 1989 and my good friend Mike Bell showed interest in it, so a deal was struck. Just last week, nearly 40 years after my original purchase, I was able to require the display case from Mike.
My original plan was to restore the case but after a light cleaning, and seeing all the fine scratches in the top glass, and minor nicks and scratches in the wood, I decided it needs to stay "as is". All those imperfections were put there by kids just like me getting close and spending a great deal of time "rolling" through the items in the display!
Thanks to another good friend's help, Rob Enders, I was able to get the case in its new home upstairs above the Checkered Flag track. I was so excited to get started on the case, I was out in the shop before 7 this morning replacing the 110 volt line cord. The original one had not faired well, probably due to mice or carelessness at some point in its life. With the new line cord installed I started filling it with some of my HO cars (some of the ones I could find anyway). Although I was able to fill the case, I will need to go back through the cars once I find the remainder of my collection. I will need to sort out what's there and thin out the herd! But at this point I am pretty content to just lean against the case and work the button rolling the trays back and worth! Thanks Mike!

So, I've been doing some serious work out in the shop. Sorting, re-boxing, and emptying boxes and boxes of stuff! It doesn't look much like it, but I am making progress! I should be back up and running in another month or so?

Re: PASER Even Thursday (65 replies, posted in PASER)
For the June 8th race at Rob's Redline Raceway in Vancouver we only had 6 racers, so we raced on three of the four lanes with three turn marshals. This system worked very well on Rob's track.
Womps was the chosen class for the first race of the evening. We ran three minute heats for one round of racing (one time through all three lanes). The Womps run great on Redline Raceway! The flow of the course suits the Womps! Bob Nak and Doc tied for first with the computer settling the tie by total elapsed time to complete the round. Here are the Womp results:
1st Bob Nak. 113 laps 533.354 T-Time
2nd Doc 113 533.672
3rd John G. 110 530.419
4th Rico 110 539.263
5th Rob 95
6th Bill 88
After the Womps had rubbered up the track the Flexi Class cars hit the track. The Flexis are unbelievably fast on Rob's layout! My car is a bullet and corners like a cat! Although I had more than my share of crashes (self inflicted) I still managed to pull out a win. John was close behind in second. Flexi results:
1st Bill 198 laps
2nd John G. 194
3rd Rob 190
4th Bob Nak. 185
5th Doc 181
6th Rico 164

Re: TooBad Motorplex HO Track Move (2 replies, posted in Track)
I don't believe they are part of HOPAC. I met Tommy and Joel a few years ago after we had moved up here to Vancouver. They are fellow Vancouverites!

Topic: TooBad Motorplex HO Track Move (2 replies, posted in Track)
Yesterday the TooBad Motorplex 3 lane routed HO track left with its new owners. Tommy, Joel, and I rolled the track out from underneath Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway and loaded it onto the trailer. When we moved here to Vancouver I built a new frame for the track using steel casters so I could store it under the 1/24 Checkered Flag track. Sadly the HO track had not been raced on since around 2007. It had been moved from the garage in our house in Fairview to the upstairs. From there it was moved to the garage of our house in Vancouver, and then into the shop. Despite the multiple moves the track was still in pretty good shape. The copper tape had lost adhesion in a couple spots, but the majority of it was still intact. All the wiring for the lanes, controller hook ups, and lap counter dead strip was still in place. The track featured inlaid steel wire for magnetic traction cars, and reversing switches for each lane. I hope Tommy and Joel enjoy the track! Maybe they will even host a race in the future?

Re: NASCAR 4.5 inch Flexi car race (4 replies, posted in Springwater Raceway)
Another fantastic race at Springwater Raceway! We ended up with a field of 11 racers. These 4.5 inch Flexi cars are an absolute blast to race on the Springwater Ogilvie track! We raced 4 minute heats, 4 times through (4 rounds), 2 rounds with NASCAR COT bodies, and 2 rounds with NASCAR truck bodies.
This race had it all! Carnage filled wrecks as well as some extremely close door to door racing! We destroyed bodies, bent chassis, and used up motors, but everyone was smiling and having a good time!
In the end the top four were (L to R): John G., Bob N., Gary T., Gary K.

Topic: PASER Trans Am Race at Inslot's Checkered Flag (3 replies, posted in PASER)
On May 25th 2023 PASER held a Trans Am race at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway. I was pleased with the turn-out of nine racers, especially because it was a three day holiday weekend! I opened the doors to the track at 9:00 am. Racers started showing up as early as 8:15 am, many of them with breakfast snacks in hand! Once it looked like all of the participants had arrived we decided to go ahead and start the race. I had decided on a 4 minute heat 3 round format as an experiment to see how a somewhat shorter race would go. Once everyone had seemed to get enough pre-race practice we started the race. Start time was just before 10:30 am.
Nine racers allows for just enough turn marshals to fully cover the track, four racers with five turn marshals. The racing was very close, well except for Craig Reiland who came down from Seattle to join in the racing and lead the way to the checkered flag! Craig's car was just ballistic! Nobody could touch him! John Gill was the only other racer to come even close to Craig's lap times. John finished second with Al Christensen in third. It was very tight from third through fifth, with car issues decided many of the battles.
All said I think it was a pretty good race. We were finished racing by 2:30 pm. There was plenty of time for practice and tuning before and after the actual race. Personally I felt I had plenty of on track racing time. I would like to get some feedback from the other racers as to what they thought of the format, in regards to the amount of on track racing time, practice time, and the race start time as well as finish time. To me it seemed it was a pretty laid back atmosphere. Give me some feedback so I can start plans for next season!
Craig's winning Camaro.
