The Columbia Gorge Championship will have four tracks to race on in the 2023 season with the inclusion of Rob's track that does not have a name yet. It is located north of Vancouver.

At these rate let's just go with NOName_Raceway.. has a nice ring

No problems hope you make it more often  I always have at least one spare on race night

Well we had Bill sighting at the track and he dragged Bart out with him. Racing again was  very tight. Up 1st was sports car one and we had a new face at the top of the step with Jeff running three mistake free heats and a fast car to boot to take the win.Up next was the money   race and Doc came out and with vengeance  from the last two race nights and got the win Over Bill and Ricco taking third.  And Al taking another big points hit coming in fourth. . Up next was open we lost three racers so track calls were used for these race and Al car was hooked up and flying as he took the easy win over doc and ricco in third. Great night and thanks for hoisting.

Sounds Iike a beer on tap kind of celebration.

Here we  go again.  Another  odd Thursday  race has come and gone.  It was looking like it was going to be no go for racing. We only had three racers ready to race and it was getting close to the start of the racing when two more guys showed up right before we called it a bust. So we went with 5 for the night so track  calls were the call for racing
Up 1st  was pge and doc was on cruise  control and got the 1st win of the night followed  by Al and  Mitch.  Up next was Can Am and Al was able get a long waited win to stop  the loosing  streak in the points  Doc came in second with Mitch rounding out the final  step. Up next was open and  Doc was able to take the stop step once again Al once again taking the runner up position... next odd Thursday  race has been canceled  at Al's but Mitch was thinking about hoisting the next race. Stay tuned for update on that. Thanks again for opening your tack Al.

The big cam am v8 are warming up the  racers pit area  crew chiefs getting those last adjustments in before  the  cars hit the track. Let see if Al worked out the issues with is car from last round . See you all Al.may the odds always  be in your favor..

I think they are probably the future for scratch building.  I think 3D printing is still in the early stages of development. The finished product is already better than it was a year ago but what I've seen they are not shall we say Impact Resistant.

  In a couple more years we will probably see great things coming out.

Well nothing  is impact Resistant if Bill is cleaning is controller  with the car on the track...

With some body's getting hard to find with being no longer made and with 3d printers getting cheaper by the day these might be an option we all should start to think about..

Those  factory tires are pretty  hard to start with and will work great if that's what all the cars are also running on. BUT if you show up at a club race thinking that will hook up your going for a big let down slipping and sliding. Around the track. Urethane  work great but if your running against nsr shoed cars it not going to be much of a fight  for long.. the aftermarket  rubber tires are a good deal in the long run. You get two sets vs one pair with Urethane. There bis lots of little tuning tricks to be done even on  home based  slot cars that will make them run great and don't cause you a bunch of cash to do.. just have true wheels and tires does wonders for a car.  Hopefully  some race night  you can make it out and get your feet wet. I wouldn't  worry about  setting up anything for club racing  till you get a few races under your belt. We all ways  have a loaner or two that new comers can run.

with the 1/32 cars 80% of the car set up going to be in the tires and wheels, with the rest going into the chassis set up and body float.. read the rules in what class car you end up building for. some are rather tight with what you can do and others are more wide open. if the class allows rubber tires then that what you will want to run. nsr super grips are king. a good tire Turer is a must have.. keep a look out on ebay and the forums for a used one, they do come up  every so often. if not they can be found on some of the  online stores. home racing world is great source of knowledge , just a fy setting up your car to run good on a plastic track and then taking it to a routed wood track does not work out that great. you can get them in the ball park but the real tuning going be at the club track...
