Don't worry about it Tom, we have all been there! The main thing is to just keep coming back and you will get the hang of it. A "tippy" car is not fun for any one, new or an old timer. Sounds like a little weight may help. At any time you can always ask questions, we are there to help if we can. Zack is very helpful to the new guys as are others.

It is on the PROJECTS PAGE under: Projects; done and not so done, now the second page down from the top of the Rapid forum.

Lance "Oggie" Oggero's project for the Early Modified chassis session at Rapid on 2-1-'20. There were 3 guys building cars for the session, Tommy, Lance, Bart. I only have pictures of Oggie's '32. Perhaps Bill or Zack can get more pictures of the session on here.

What I like about what Zack is doing:

#1 veteran racers and new racers alike will not have to look on line or wherever to find a legal ( for Rapid Raceway ) chassis any more.

#2 The chassis is going to have stronger parts such as the rattle pan, guide tongue, axle brackets. That is a big plus!

#3 American nuts, bolts, axle holes etc. YES!

#4 This chassis is good for 4 classes at Rapid Raceway ( TA2, NASCAR, NASTRUCK, Porsche 962 ) so if you want you can use this one chassis by adjusting tracking and wheelbase and maybe pans. That is also a big plus if you don't want to spend unnecessary $.

Can't wait to get my hands on a 2NASTY chassis!......................................................... Poetry in motion!!

On Feb. 1st, 2020 I am planning on having another chassis session for the Early Modified class. If you want to attend this session please email me at: howieandsandy@hotmail.com

Round one at Springwater Raceway on Jan. 4 2020 was very successful! The second round will be held at Rapid Raceway with an open practice on Mar. 14, doors open at 3:00pm. Then the race on Mar. 21, doors open at 11:00am. The race will be the same format as the first round of 4 times through and 4 minute heats.

This was a very fun night of racing, thanks Bob for installing the 962 race on your schedule. I believe the Columbia Gorge Championship is going to get bigger as time goes on and racers find out how much fun it is.

Team Blue Groove makes a very durable and nice looking 962. Some of the very big crashes that I witnessed, ( including mine! ) would have destroyed a thinner body or at least make a person use up a lot of tape!! I am hoping Team Blue Groove makes more 1/24th. Can-Am bodies.

Mt. Goat; here is my email: howieandsandy@hotmail.com
We can talk in detail about the Can-Am and any questions you have regarding  Rapid Raceway, classes, rules etc.

PS: we do not have a total cost on the parts for the Can-Am yet. Our parts guy, Bob, will put together a total parts cost for each car. Bill has bodies here for free, we have chassis also for free as long as they last.

This is a 3 race format. Each track: Bob's Springwater track, Bill's Inslot Checkered Flag, and mine, Rapid Raceway each have a race with the 962. Each race will be 4 times through at 4 min. heats.

This is a True Scale class and the rules for these cars are in the rules under Rapid Raceway under 962. Points will be established at each track and totaled together to make a Columbia George Champion.

I have a few of the Blue Groove 962 bodies that Bill has left here, they are $10.00 each. The bodies are the only legal bodies. They are sturdy at .030" Lexan.
