I am rescheduling the 962 race on June, 20, 2020.

The 2nd. race of the Columbia Gorge Championship will be at Rapid Raceway. Doors open at 11:00am. and racing to start at 1:30pm. $10.00 entry fee which will include Pizza and pop. Coffee and cookies as usual. Hope to see you all here.

I know the virus is not over, but I need to get this race on the books as summer ( if we don't get screwed out of one like we did last yr. ) may be too hot in the shop for racing.

Beings we will be racing the NASTRUCKS for the first half of the season I thought maybe some one might be looking for a truck body with out spending much.

1/25th. AMT Chevy. $10.00. I already glued it together for slot racing. No decals.

TMI. Evidently Dennis, you are bored as Hell.

Fellow racers; here is the way the votes went for what to race for the first half of the 2021 racing season.

1st.     Early Sportsman, will be the points class......9 votes.
2nd.    NASTRUCKS, will be the back up....................8
3rd.    962.................................................................7
4th.    NASCAR..........................................................3
5th.    TA2 and Indy..................................................1 each.

I will more than likely schedule a special race for the TA2. I hate to see a class collect dust!

I will also send out an email before the season starts for a vote on what two classes to run for the second half of the season, that way we will know well in advance and it will be on the schedule instead of TBA!

Dennis; there is a for sale page on the Rapid site, why don't you post those Fusions there. I am sure you would get some interest.

Speaking of racing, we had a good turnout yesterday of which I am currently getting ready to report on them on the Rapid Raceway site under Can-Am and Early Modified. We had a good time and no politics that I know of.

Well I won't dig into it any further Stumbly. I am 75 and I suppose at risk also.

With that being said, I rest my case.

I have a race tomorrow, if you want to partake I have an extra controller and an extra car for each class, just let me know so I can get the cars ready to go, that is no big deal, just install rear tires. Doors open at noon.

Fellow racers; After the May 2nd. race there is a season final race on the 9th of May with the Indy cars. I am going to reschedule that Indy race ( Rapid Grand Prix ) to May 23rd. That will be the last scheduled race for the Rapid Raceway regular season. I am still going to schedule a 962 race in the off season so that we can complete the 3 race format for the Columbia Gorge Championship.

Also I am in the early stages of getting support for a headlight race for next season. We used to do this once a yr. and it kind of lost its way I guess. I would use the 962 as the basis for the race and all you would need is another Bluegroove 962 body and add headlights/taillights. It is a fairly easy addition. I got my lights from Radio Shack and they use the small round disk nickel size battery. Others used track  power lights.

I used to have a night race with the 962's once a yr. The popularity of it fell off. I would love to put it back on the schedule if I could get a few racers to partake. I have all the track lights still available. All it takes is a little wiring and lights, I bought mine at Radio Shack, they take a little flat round battery or some racers installed lights that light up with track power.  It would probably take a new Bluegroove 962 or how 'bout a Lola MK111 D70 Bluegroove body? Add lights, not very expensive and if I get at least 8 guys who are willing I would gladly add it back into the schedule once a yr. So how 'bout it? I really liked it and had fun racing under the lights.
