It is a real shame that it had to end the way it did. Neat layout, well built track. I have a place to store the track if you want Bill.

Last nights race here was just great!! No problems at all, the race program did very well and I am VERY pleased. I am still not quite up to speed on the running of it, but it is not a hard program to learn and I like it a lot over the SRT program.

Bill spent part of 3 days here getting this thing up and running and Monte was the go to guy with his knowledge! I thank both gentlemen VERY MUCH!!

These are killer machines! Nice work guys.

If you feel like a flame job, I can do flames!

I "THINK" I will be around on race day, I will lend a hand if you need it.

Ok, I have waited long enough to add my two cents. I have been up to Bill's man cave, shortly after that I informed him that he has earned the top spot and I crowned him the new "Slot Car Slut". Nobody that I know of is into this hobby like he is. Of course that is what I said about the last guy that wore the crown, but it is going to be hard as hell to dethrone Bill!!

I have 4 motors right now and can get more as needed. They are $12.00.
Another rule on the Sportsman class is that you have to run a screen in place  of the windshield, I have PLENTY of screen that I will donate to those who don't have any. The rules are posted on the www.northwesttruescaleracers.com site under Sportsman on the Classes/rules page. Keep in mind that you can go 3.250" tracking front and back.
Also keep in mind that if someone needed a chassis, Beau will build you one, he is VERY reasonable on the price to those who want to race at Rapid.

Yes, the Sportsman class is very alive and well at Rapid. The Sportsman class was voted in to be a points class for the first half of the upcoming 2017 season.

At least we know we can have a fun time with just 5 racers. It was fun and very close racing and plenty of time when the racing was over for some cookies, coffee and general BS'n!! BS'n is part of racing, right?

We have already had one race with the new GT3 cars and they are a good handling car and fast with the Pro Slot motors.
From left to right: Marty, Blake, Howie, Beau.

Very impressive looking car! Great job! I am sure it will be a good runner when you tune it up a bit. Last night was a fun race despite our Can-Am cars not getting the job done.

Update: Due to the fact that the GT-1 hard bodies are getting expensive, it was voted on to go to a Lexan body. GT-1 will now be GT-3. Check out the GT-3 bodies on Pattos place under "new bodies". There are about 14 GT-3 bodies available $9.00. We are also introducing the Pro SLot S16D in this class only, about $15.00. Will post a picture of a finished one when one is built, Beau will more than likely be the first!

SP80001 is ready for paint after one more light sanding to take out the final imperfections. Dayle, my truck driving son has laid claim to the car as he does not have a legal True Scale NASCAR. He wants it painted in the livery of Werner Enterprises whom he and his truck are leased out to. That will be added to my summer slot car projects. I will submit a final picture when done.
