The PASER Monday at Rob's Redline Raceway saw a hearty group of 6 racers come to hone their skills and have an evening of pizza, fun and some great racing. I had trouble with Race Coordinator to set up a 3 racer rotation and reverted to Trackmate and got the show on the road. First up: Womps. This class is helping racers hone their craft because the cars can be very unforgiving. Driver control and patience rule.......? The Flexi class saw a well prepared track surface and these cars were FAST! The results are showing the competition is getting closer and closer each race. Thanks Rob for hosting and the Pizza! Bob N. came away with wins in both classes and added 2 hash marks to the Weener Winner Cup.

What a day for racing 4 Inch Flexi cars at The Gorge Raceway. Thank you for coming out and supporting our local club tracks. Without you, we would not and could not have 1/24 scale racing here in the Portland / Vancouver area. 9 racers came to test their skills and have snacks, pizza, refreshments and most important, a fun time. Gerry had to leave early and Jim, who came to observe, stepped up and ran the 3rd round with his own Flexi car and did a great job.. Thanks Jim. Looking forward to having you race with the group again. As always, The Gorge Raceway presents it's own set of challenges. Many of these racers are getting faster and faster, so the competition gets closer and closer. The race program consisted of 3 rounds of racing with 3.5 minute heats. Each racer had 42 minutes of driving time. Plaques were awarded for places 1-3.
The final Results show who's climbing up the finishing order, you know who you are, and either made the podium, or right on the brink.

The first PASER Monday event took place 9/23/2024. The day was divided into 2 sessions. The first session had 5 racers competing in 2 races. Womps and 4" Flexi's. The format had 2 racers go head to head with 3 corner marshals. The tight and twisty Gorge Raceway always tests one's skillset while getting back into a groove after a summer off. The evening session did not have enough racers to put a race on, but valuable practice time was taken advantage of. The final results:

The first OSCAR NASCAR race at Springwater Raceway is in the books. A sunny, warm day greeted 19 racers, competing for 18 starting spots from Bend, OR, Eugene, OR, Seattle, WA. and a host of local racers. Qualifying determined the starting spots for 2 races. The first race is the “B” main (Xfinity Series) and the second race, the “A” main (Cup Series), John Gill (Turing John) posted the quickest lap at 5.269 seconds and received the Fast Time award. 10 racers competed in the “B” main, with the winner having the option to move up to the “A” main or get the winners plaque. The offer goes down the finishing order until a racer chooses to move up. Scary Gary chose to move up to the “A” main. A special “thank you” goes out to first time OSCAR racer Scott, who offered hats and calendars to everyone who attended. The final results shoe how close these events are in the midst of crashes, car failures and provide close side by side racing throughout the field of both races.

All things must come to and end, so here are the final results.
