Northwest True Scale has 11 classes as it stands now, and I am not going to add any more. I have tentatively combined (not in stone yet) the Early Modifieds and Late Modifieds into one class called simply: Modifieds. I may have to have two classes run on a Thursday Thunder night, two times through for each class but shorter heats depending on the turnout. I am trying to schedule the classes for the 2026 season so that each class is raced at least three times, not as easy as it sounds!
Tentative schedule for Rapid Raceway (NWTS) for the 2026 season. This is not in stone, can be changed before the actual season starts. Classes haven't been picked yet except the first and last race of the season.
**Sept. 6------------------------Rapid 500 featuring the NASCAR. First race for the 2026 season. 4 times through, 4 minute heats.

**May 30--Rapid Grand Prix----Indy--------------Last race of the season. 4 times through at 4 minute heats.
** means a Trophy race.
True Scale has 10 classes. Indy and Modified will be raced 4 times and the rest of the classes will be raced 3 times.
This schedule is pretty much in stone, however, changes could take place if necessary.
It was a fun day. Here are a few pics. from that day.

After the great turnout for the Indy cars (18 racers) for the Thursday Thunder race (April 12, '25) I better re-think the plans for the Indy cars. Indy class is way too popular to only race once in the 2026 season. Stay tuned!....................Howie.
Good pictures Bill, thanks for posting them.
Results of the Thursday Thunder race held on April 10, '25. Because of the turnout of 18 racers, Bill set the computer to run 2 times through at 3 minute heats instead of 4 minutes. Thanks Bill. The race started at 6pm and ended at 10:15pm. Ian is the youngest (age 6) to enter an official race. He did well. Unfortunately, he didn't have a legal car.

I am currently thinking about the 2026 season for the Northwest True Scale schedule. The last race of the season is the Rapid Grand Prix featuring the Indy cars. I am trying to race each class 3 times during the season.. I haven't done a schedule yet, but the classes to be run next season more than once will be Early Sportsman, Early Modified, 962, NASTRUCK, Trans-Am. These classes will be run through the season. I am planning on a 962 series of maybe 5 races or so with points and plaques through 4th. place. I am still planning to do Thursday Thunder races, and of course a few trophy races along with the first Saturday of each month.
If you have a suggestion for Northwest True Scale racing, please let me know.
Added on March 4, 25: I am thinking about having a couple races on Thursday Thunder days to be voted on for what class is to be raced.
Fun times yesterday, thanks Bill. BTW: the Peak Pontiac's chassis is designed with an inline motor as per PASER rules. I am going to design and build a new chassis for the next PASER NASCAR race....................yes it will have the big wheels!!! I like Checkered Flag Raceway; it has a good flow to it and plenty of action and the racers were a fun group to race with. Looking forward to the next race at Checkered Flag.
Thanks for your expert help, Bill. It was a fun day and yes, we are getting a lot more interest lately in slot car racing and I am REALLY liking that!! I will have another chassis session as soon as time allows.
It was a fun time planning, soldering, cutting on project chassis. Thanks to Bill, Bart, Mark, Doug, Tim, Hersche, Bill E. for making this a fun gathering. Thanks to Terry for bringing some parts over. I had to leave at 4pm. so we didn't finish up everyone's project. Yes, cookies, coffee etc. was there. I will have another session as soon as I can.

Thanks Bill for going to all this trouble and money to test these motors. Time well spent so we can include these motors in our rules making sure one motor is not a great advantage. That makes the motor choice a lot easier for the racers.
