That's part of the beauty of our Odd Thursday Night races. Yes there are some rules, but they are very basic. You can pretty much run most anything in a couple of the classes. If you've never won a race at an Odd Thursday race you can run a traction magnet in a magnet free class, or even a hotter motor. But once you've on a race, in order to be credited with a win your car must fully comply with the rules for the class it falls into. It's as close to run-what-you-brung racing as I've ever experienced in the slot car world!

I think it is the guy I sold it to. Unfortunately I don't remember his name (old guy thing). I di remember he had been racing with Bob Hanna's group in Roseburg.

Even though it is pretty short in lap length, that is one very fast track!

I have inverted the Winner's List to make it easier to reference winners of the previous race (last race winners are now at the top of the list). I probably should have done it that way from the start!   =========Bill

Al Christensen had an excellent drive with his new out of the box stock Scalextric Cougar finishing in 6th place.

Rico Locati blew two motors, switched to my of crappy Camaro, performed some quick massage work, and still managed to post a 5th place finish!

Jeff Fields drove a perfect heat in the Red Lane scoring 32 laps, a new record for the Trans Am cars at The Gorge! Jeff finished in 4th Place.

John Gill drove a consistant and fast race to finish in the 3rd spot.

Monte where-did-he-come from Saager drove an outstanding race, overcoming a multitude of obstacles to finish in 2nd Place!

Bob Nakamura, race host and director, and just plain FAST racer finished in 1st Place. A well deserved win!

I was able to get a few photos at the race -

Bob provided plenty of practice time before the race.

Left to right at the driver's stations are Jeff Fields, Mitch Brooks, Al Christensen, and John Gill.

Bob looks ready to race!

Nothing but concentration.

Beau's Can Am Plymouth Hemi Special for the NASTE Odd Thursday Night Over 50 Class:

There is ALWAYS one more car you NEED!

It was great to have the track up and running last night, to see my friends, and to trade a little paint! Which there was quite a bit of paint trading last night! It was a very warm evening but the racing excitement seemed to keep everyone engaged (that and the FAN!).
