Odd Thurdasy Night March 19th.
A dozen racers in attendance and Bob, a new visitor from Hood River. We started the night's racing with the Trans Am Class race. Greg Petrolati and Bryan Trachsel tied for first in this race. Greg has shown the ability to consistantly place at the top of the podium in this class. This is one of the most competitive classes we race on Odd Thursday's. In this race there were only three and a half laps separating first from eighth! Glenn Heath raced his Scalextric Mustang with a traction magnet just as a test and comparison to his other car. His finish is shown as a DQ.

John Fisher's awesome GT Class car was at home in the shop getting a new paint job. This left the door open for The Goose to come in with his R390 Nissan and take the win. Goose's Slot.It Nissan dominated the field, running lap times almost a full three tenths of a second quicker than the other competitiors! he was hooked up and fast! It will be interesting to see how it performs against John's Audi! The rest of us were involved in tighter battles!

The Over 50 Class has quickly become a popular class. It is great fun to race those old, sometimes ill handling cars around the track! Rico'chet crushed the competition with his super fast Gar Vic grand Sport Corvette, winning with a three and a half lap margin! Gary Goose Gossett and Bryan Dickerson tied for second, but Goose suffered car damage that retired another car! Goose's Strombecker Ford J suffered damage to the nose of the car that almost separated the entire front end of the car from the rest of the body! This does not seem to be a lucky class for the Goose! Glenn Heath raced his newly completed scratchbuilt vintage NASCAR as a test run in this race. Glenn's finish is shown as a DQ.

And lastly we raced the ever popular BRM Porsche 962 cars. These cars are so much fun it is almost beyond description! These races are as much a show of force as they are a contest of speed! The Goose muscled his way to first place with 'Chet only three tenths of a lap behind him. One tenth of a lap separated third from fourth. This is some good racin'!
