The Gorge Raceway has a nice long front straight!

Everyone had a really good time!

Racers prepare for the start of another heat. The race consisted of 4 rounds of 4 minute heats. Everyone got plenty of track time!

At the end of it all it was time for Bob to announce the results.

It was an excellent race Bob, looking forward to the next one!!!

I was a recipient of that help today, and would not have had nearly as much fun had you not loaned me your Scalextric Challenger to race. Thank you very much!

Of course then after Rico blew up his second motor he takes my ill handling POS Camaro, quickly works his magic on it, and finishes out the race with my Camaro actually working like an acceptable race car!...............................................................................
Maybe I need a new hobby????!!!!!!!

Here's some cars Beau Frazier built for our Over 50 Class:

Beau built this vacume formed bodied Grand Sport Corvette using an AMT brass chassis.

Very nice wheel detail!

John Morse brought out a very cool tool for the club members to use here at TooBad Motorplex. John built a portable tire sanding station complete with an independent power supply and variable speed control. The components are housed in a beautiful handmade box. Features include brass inlaid contact strips for power to the car, and an inlaid machined aluminum block for sandpaper. The sanding station got plenty of break in time and it functioned perfectly! Thank you John!

Rico, Looks like there's a new "BEAST" in town, and it belongs to The MEAT!

Odd Thursday Racing, June 11th - Back Up and Running!

Feels like I've been out of circulation longer than the actual month. But we were back up and running for last night's Odd Thursday race. Extra stuff has invaded my garage so we had to put the pit tables outside, but the weather cooperated and it worked out fine. We had a total of ten racers in attendance racing four classes with four different winners. John Morse added to his Winner's List total with his second (first non-mag) win, with his outstanding drive in the Over 50 Class. Score one for the Manta Ray! Other highlights included Mitch Brooks win in the Classic Sports Car Class, followed by a visit from Bryan Trachsel who awarded Mitch a handbuilt custom trophy representing the NASTE Challenge Championion for 2015! Congrats to Mitch for winning the Challenge Championship for 2015!

Congrats to Al MEAT Chrsitensen of his fourth place finish in the Over 50 Class! Al races a KTM/Kemtron powered beast that he actuially raced in the 60s! Al has been massaging and tuning his Cheetah for the TooBad track and his efforts are paying off. When Al first started racing with us his Cheetah would barely get around the track. Now his beast is a front runner and contender evertime it's on the track! This is what the over 50 Class is all about! Great job Al!

Thanks to all that made it out last night! It was great to see you all and to be back on the track!  =======Bill

Neither of those is the exact same bottle, but it may be the same stuff?
