List updated from Mar. 27, '14 race.

KOUBA..................that's all you need to know about last nights racing!

Chris Kouba showed up with the hardware and a plan. He skillfully executed the plan, and at the night's end it was THREE WINS, and THREE TRACK RECORDS for the WINGMAN! We had a good turn out of twelve racers, but none of us could put Chris in the rear view mirror. It was great to have Flyin' Bryan Trachsel return to TooBad, but even Flyin' couldn't catch Chris this time around. As far as the rest of us? Well, we were involved in some very close racing! Greg Petrolati and Bryan Trachsel were involved in a great on track battle in the Classic Sports Car Class. John Fisher and Bryan Dickerson were also involved in a closely contested heat. Mitch Brooks' Corvette was awesome in the Classic Sports Car Class! All in all it was a fun evening of racing. The garage lights stayed on until 12:30 a.m., and I had a great time!

I'd like to thank Chris Kouba for his help in setting up my BRM Porsche for the upcoming race in Tacoma!

That looks great Smooth!!!

I found this ad in a local car advertizing paper in the 80's. I did not make it up to the swap meet. Anybody know anything about this?

Yes it was! Aero's was a great hobby shop! The shop was crammed full of models, and he specialized in radio control airplanes.

These are also visible in the Library section of this site.

Don't worry, it's not your computer and you're not blind Dorothy. The actual flyer can be seen in the Library section of this site. Use the Library tab where the Gallery and Forum tabs are.

Before they were PASER, they were PACER. Portland Area Contolled Electric Racing was eventually changes to the current Portland Area Scale Electric Racing.

These were some of the rules and car classes of the PACER club in 1984.

In the early eighties the local HO slot car club HORREO, HO Road Racing Enthusiasts of Oregon, set up a nice four lane  Aurora track in Aero's Hobbies. Aero's was located in what was then the Fred Meyer shopping center on southeast 122nd and Division.  From what I remember, HORREO held races there on Saturdays. This was one of the flyers they had posted.

The first time we took the HORO promo track to the Mustang Swap Meet in McMinnville Oregon, we printed up these tickets to sell to people who wanted to race on the track. 25 cents got you into a two minute heat race with three other drivers. At the end of the day the driver that completed the most laps in their heat race won a prize. That year the prizes were collectible die cast banks. Our hope was they would use the bank to collect quarters for next years swap meet!

This was the flyer for Rob Hansen's invitational track in Garden Home. Rob had a huge 4 lane sectional plastic track. This race was a money race, 100% pay back from entrie fees + trophies!

These were the flyers we drew up to post in local hobby shops, and anywhere we thought we might find new slot car racers.

These were the first rules drawn up for Alder Street Raceway when we first started racing in 1983.

Details are coming together regarding the spring race weekend at Alan's in Tacoma.  It is scheduled to be a Fri eve and Saturday event with a preliminary schedule of:

Friday night:
Slot.it Group C
Scaleracing LMP Challenge

Saturday
BRM 1/24 Scale
Scaleauto GT 1/24th
BRM 917 IROC
Scaleauto 1/32 GT IROC

The schedule is tentative as the intent is to appeal to the masses to maximize fun for all.  I attended last year- it was a lot of racing and a lot of fun with good people whom I'd only ever known over the internet.  It was nice to put names with faces and do some racing.

Loaners will be available but please give as much heads up as possible to make arrangements.  If you're bringing your own cars and would like setup info, give him a call as he'll gladly share what's been working well.

Track is 8 lanes and braided with non-mag braid; runs pretty hot at around 13V.  Pics:
