Today I finishd up prepping 6 of the cars for Saturday's race. Bryan told me the other 2 cars are also ready for racing.

I talked with Glenn today and he said he was also bringing Keilbasa sausages and beans!!!

This is going to be a fun race!!!

I decided Hammer! I'm bringing my favorite devil'd egg type potato salad (a joint cooking endeaver with Fred Meyer. They cook it - I buy it!)...............

I remember when Aero's was on Glisan. They got heavily into RC off road cars and trucks. They even had an outdoor dirt track next to their building and parking lot. Aero's was owned by an older gentleman by the name of Leon I believe. I had heard he had a keen interest in RC airplanes, hence the name Aero's Sports & Hobbies. I also heard he had quite a collection of old RC airplane gas engines. I believe he either sold the business or had someone take it over some time after he moved out to the location on Glisan. It seemed after he had left the shop it went down hill and finally closed altogether. Sad. At one time it was a great hobby shop!

Mystery solved.

John Gill made the flyer for Howie back in 2002 to advertise the very first race held at Rapid Raceway!

Great video & pictures Dorothy!!!

My personal favorite is the piggy back cows!!!!

April 15th, Odd Thursday Racing on Tuesday Evening. It was a very casual evening of racing tonight. There was only six of us, so we kept it low key with no actual races, just a lot of practice, tuning, and fun!

I spoke with Alan of 132slotcar.us today on the phone. I don't know Alan well and this was the first time I had an opportunity to really talk with him. We had a good discussion about the race in Tacoma. Alan has a real concern about any disappointment or issues I had with the race, as well as any issues any other racers may have had. We talked quite awhile about the details of the race, and he helped me understand why he decided to run the Team Enduro format. Alan put it very well when he said; "it's difficult to bring different groups of racers together, especially when they are used to racing under their group or club's rules and formats. Everybody does it a little differently". That's probably not an exact quote, but I believe it conveys Alan's message.

  As I said before, I had a good time at Alan's race. NASTE runs out of town are always fun! It was great to see old friends in the Tacoma area, and to meet some new people. The BRM and Scaleauto cars were great performers, and the track was lots of fun to race on! So here's a couple things I now know for sure. After speaking with Alan I know his next event will be even better, and I look forward to getting to know him better! And...........I WILL GO BACK!

  Thanks Alan!  -------------------Bill

Howie just put an order in for chassis. He will have them available for purchase at Rapid Raceway, along with parts.

Great format Howie!

There is some excellent racing going on at rapid Raceway! The atmsophere friendly and the racers are eager to help new enthusiasts! If you have thought about racing 1/24 you owe it to yourself to come and check out what's happening at Rapid Raceway! The Schoeler chassis cars Howie has introduced make building a car much easier than scratchbuilding, and the cars are proving to be competitive with the scratchbuilt cars. This NASCAR series should be lots of fun!

List updated from Apr. 3, '14 race.

The place looked more like this after a few more vendors arrived.
