Topic: Proposed Races South of Portland! (0 replies, posted in Events)
Racers, looking for some feedback on a couple proposed race ideas for early December. Patrick Hurley is hoping to put on a race in either Springfield at Pelican Park or in Salem on the old Junction City track. Portland racers could possibly car pool down for a race? Let us know what you think!
"Just wondering, If we had a Hard body Nascar race at Pelican Park on a Saturday in early December, do you think we would get any guys from the Portland area ??" - Patrick Hurley
"FYI, The owner of the Junction City track, which is now located in Salem , Said he was interested in hosting a race in late November or early December, think we would run 4"flexi LMP/ GTP. Hawk 7 motor or the Hawk 7 BB, Jk chassis or Champion Turbo must have front wheels that function, not flipped up. Located in SE Salem would have it on a Saturday. Probably run this instead of a Hard body race @ Pelican Park. Do you think any of the Portland guys would be interested? It's a fast track. Most of us really enjoyed it." - Patrick Hurley

Re: New Track at TNT Motor Sports Complex! (11 replies, posted in Track)
I stopped by Tim's place yesterday to check on his track progress. He has all the braiding done and has started on the wiring. I helped him get the yellow lane running with a couple temporary connections. I ran the first complete laps on the track with a Flexi and a Thunderslot McLaren. This is going to be a very nice track!

I'm not sure what kind of plans Kirk has for chassis production. I do know this design works very well!

Topic: the 2024 Patriot 500 at Springwater Raceway! (4 replies, posted in Springwater Raceway)
The 2024-2025 Slot Car racing season is underway. The 2024 edition of The Patriot 500 at Springwater Raceway is in the books. The format this year consisted of a mixed group of hardbody NASCAR classes from PASER, OSCAR and NWTS. All cars were raced together and scored in one of 2 groups: Angle winder or Inline. Each group was scored separately, with the first 3 places in each group receiving an award plaque. The highest lap total overall received a separate plaque. Springwater Raceway always provides close racing, unexpected circumstances and just some plain old bad luck. A BIG thank you to those who came from Seattle WA, Eugene OR and Bend Or. Along with a dedicated local group of racers. Thank you, Cap’t Kirk, for doing Tech and assisting as race director. A total of 17 racers competed on a 6 lane rotation, with 4 minute heats. Each racer had 48 minutes of track time. Captain Chaos won the Racers Choice Award for his #28 Havoline Thunderbird. And now….. The Results:
ANGLE WINDER Class:
Name -- Laps
1st. NakNak (Bob N.) 501.2
2nd. Bartman 415.9
3rd. Mike Guthrie 378.0

This bank is the same radius, and has the same degree of banking as Inslot's Checkered Flag.
This will be the more challenging end of the track!

Made a trip to Tim's to check on the TNT track progress. There is some color down and Tim was touching up some of the braid recess routing. The track circuit is complete and Tim is making excellent progress! I'm looking forward to geting some laps in on this beauty!

I have been sorting through my 1/32 cars and have decided to let some go. Most of the cars are used, a few are brand new!
Here are some project cars. Disassembled and some with missing parts.
