After this current 2023 there will be changes to the Can Am Class. The biggest change to the existing rules is the requirement for ALL bodies to be manufactured by Team Bluegroove. They currently list 17 different Can Am style bodies for sale on their website, which provides plenty of selection! The new rules, which will take effect sometime in September 2023 for the 2024 racing season, are listed below:

CHASSIS: Any chassis design, inline, angle, or sidewinder. Scratch built, production, or modified production. No portion of the chassis should  be seen outside the body. Guide flag cannot stick out beyond the nose of the body. Chassis parts can be produced, guide flag tongues, motor mounts, axle mounts. 

BODY: Must use Team Bluegroove brand .030” thick body. Eligible bodies types are listed below.

BODY MOUNTING: No stretching of the bodies. If your body is 3.0" wide your chassis should be no wider than 3.0".

MOTOR: Hawk7, Pro Slot & Parma Super 16D (Chinese armatures).

TIRES: Fronts: minimum diameter shall not be less than .800”. Minimum tire width is .250" and flat to the track, no rounding of the tires. Tires must contact, and be flat to the track surface. May coat for hardness. NO "O" RINGS.  Rear tires are .900” minimum diameter. Tires may not stick out beyond body.

BEARINGS AND AXLES: Open

GROUND CLEARANCE: Not to be less than .055” as measured at lowest point.

INTERIORS: Must use a 3 dimensional interior tray. No printed interior. An option is to use resin arms and head. This is to promote a true scale look per our name: northwest true scale racers! OPEN COCKPITS - No cover over the cockpit.

BODY DETAILS: Bodies must be Team Bluegroove .030” thick Lexan and scaled after the Can-Am cars that actually raced in the Can-Am series. The following are highly encouraged but not mandatory. Wheel inserts, roll bars, injection stacks, exhaust pipes, and paint schemes that reflect the period. If a full wing was used on the real car, you may add one if it resembles the original in scale and proportion, but it is not required.

PASER started an Open Track Monday schedule that has died off substantially. In my mind simple schedules have always been a plus! I.E., Odd Thursday Night racing. You always know when it is happening. You don't even have to keep your eye on a calendar.

This year the racing schedules for Saturdays are FULL, and attendance has been pretty darn good! Again, easy to keep track of. It's Saturday there's racing somewhere.....

With all that said, and keeping "simple" as a priority, PASER is moving their Monday Open Track schedule to EVEN Thursdays. Opposite weeks of the NASTE Odd Thursday schedule with the idea of; it's Thursday, there's racing somewhere! Racers can adjust their week knowing and counting on Thursday as "race night"!

Emails will come out soon with the dates, times, and details regarding the PASER schedule.
