Getting a Can-Am car ready for Bill's race at Checkered Flag Raceway on April 25, '26. I don't know who built this chassis, I think it came from Beau Frasier's collection. I am going to install taller front tires and rework the rear axle assembly. The body is a Bluegroove McLaren M6.
After four races.

Picture coming when Bill gets the time.
Thanks for posting this Bill, you take some cool pictures. Very fun race day! The 2026 season is off to a good start. Thanks to all who made it a fun race.
I raced on that track many, many times when it was at Slot Car Central. It is a fun track to race on.
Doc, there is an open track here on Thursday (2 days away) Aug. 14. The last open track before the Sept. 6th. race. Doors open at 1pm. and closes at about 7pm. or 8pm. or whenever!
Good turnout for a nice Saturday, thanks to everyone who showed up. Good BS sessions of course and cookies made it more fun! Got in plenty of track time. The following video (when Bill gets time) is NASTRUCKS hitting the track.

Had a good time yesterday at the open track event. 8 racers showed up to test and tune etc. I plan on at least two more open track Thursdays before the season starts.
I am on this NASTE site a lot. I read all the latest write ups and news. I like to be able to report on the news of Northwest True Scale and I believe it is read by many people. For instance, I started reporting on the plans (Northwest True Scale page) for the 2026 season starting in February and have 1,338 hits as of now. Thanks Monte, it is a good slot car site in my opinion.
Thanks to Bill, the schedule for NWTS is on the calendar page on this site. I am looking forward to the 2026 season at Rapid, but I am not trying to rush through summer either!!
The above schedule has been updated and is pretty much in stone. There could be an added race or two during the season. Time will tell.
The Rapid Grand Prix held on May 31st. '25. 4 times through at 4 minute heats.
1.....Bill------------------733 laps--------------------------4.600 fasted lap.
2.....Al-------------------706-------------------------------4.397
3.....Howie--------------692--------------------------------5.013
4.....Doug---------------673--------------------------------4.960

10...Geof----------------493--------------------------------5.581
L to R: Dwayne, Howie, Terry, Austin.
Thanks to all for racing tonight, the last race of the 2025 season.
Have a great summer. See ya next season............Howie.
I updated the tentative schedule for the start of the 2026 season to start on Sept. 6 with the Rapid 500.
Coming up on May 31st. is the Rapid Grand Prix. $15.00 entry includes lunch and plaques for 1st. through 4th. Cookies and coffee as usual. I also will give out plaques for Thursday Thunder points, 1st. through 4th and Grand Champion points 1st. through 4th. Doors open at 10:00am. Hope to have a good turnout and mostly a lot of fun.
After combining the Early Sportsman and Late Sportsman into one class called Sportsman and combining the Early Modified and Late Modified into Modified, the number of classes for NTS (Northwest True Scale) is now 10.
Following are the 10 classes:
1....NASCAR
2....NASTRUCK
3....Modified
4....Sportsman
5....Can-Am
6....LeMans
7....Trans-Am
8....Slammer
9....Indy.
10...962
I plan on racing each class at least 3 times for the 2026 season.
The Porsche 962 races on Thursday Thunder nights (Nov. 20, March 18, and April 16) will be called the 962 Challenge and will be a points series. Plaques 1st. 2nd. and 3rd. will be awarded. These dates, like the schedule are not in stone yet, but the series is in stone!
I added to the above statement about the Hanna type chassis.
Steve, if you go to the rules for the Modifieds, it has a picture of the chassis, copied from a Hanna chassis. This chassis has been in the rules since day one. The combining of Late and Early Modified is still the same chassis, no difference whatsoever. You can go ahead and make a chassis out of the thin material if you want, but you must copy the Hanna type chassis.
BTW: A Hanna type chassis consists of 3 pans: the center pan, left pan and right pan. The side pans can not move up and down or back and forth, only from side to side.
Modified rules. This is not in stone yet. Here is my idea and we will have a test session at Rapid to test this out to see if it is doable.
Modified part 1:
1....Chassis: Hanna or a direct copy of a Hanna chassis.
2....Any hard body car from 1928 to present. No convertibles or chopped tops.
3....Bodies wider than 2.500", measured at the bottom (after cutting down) in the middle from front to back will be declared wide
chassis.
4....Body height: 1.600" minimum measured from the top of the highest part of the roof to the bottom of the chassis.
5....Maximum tracking for a wide body: back 3.250", Front 3.250".
6....Tires: all tires will be black. Front: Minimum diameter: .875". Minimum width: .500" no coning or grooving, can coat them.
Back: Minimum diameter is .900".
7....Motor: Pro Slot S16D or Parma S16D with Chinese arms. Can use bearings or bushings at both ends.
8....Axles: front axle must be one piece that extends to each wheel. Axles can be 1/8" or 3/32". Can use bearings or bushings.
9....Gears: 64 or 48 pitch, plastic or brass.
10..A motor with radiator must be installed.
Part 2: Bodies narrower than 2.350" will be considered narrow chassis.
1....Tracking to be 3.500" front and back. Otherwise, the rules above are all the same.
I plan on having a test session with these cars during the off season to see how the tracking rules work out.
After talking with another track owner on the Sept. schedule, I have changed the date of the Rapid 500 to Oct. 4th. There is going to be a track owner's meeting to discuss the schedule etc. Nothing is in stone yet!
Final point standing for the Thursday Thunder races are posted above. Thanks to all who attended to make this series a success.
