If anyone is interested in going to the Memorial Race at Rich Vecchio's Electron Raceway in Roseburg on June 6th, I have a seat available for car pooling!

I'm glad Kelly's surgery went well. I'm hoping she has a quick recovery!

For the fourth race of the 2022 McFarland Memorial Track Tour we travelled to Tom's World in Bend. Sixteen of Bob's friends made it out to pay their respects and compete in OSCAR's NASCAR Class. Racing on Tom's track is always challenging to say the least! It is one of the longest and most technical tracks in Oregon!

I managed to get quite a few photos this time around. There's a lot to see at Tom Street's place!

The third race in the 2022 McFarland Memorial Track Tour was held at Rapid Raceway. This race was also the final Northwest True Scale race of the Columbia Gorge Championship for Porsche 962s. We had a field of nine racers in attendance. As the results show, the racing was very close! Although Bob was not a fan of the bolt-together type of chassis, I know he would have really enjoyed the close competition!

Last race of the 2022 season for the Columbia Gorge Championship of April 16, 2022.
This was also the Bob McFarland memorial race at Rapid Raceway.

Mitch, your Flexi was hooked up! You were definitely one of the fastest and most consistent in that race until you lost that wire!

Yesterday marked my return from vacation and our racing schedule back up and running at Inslot's Checkered Flag!

We had 9 racers for the High Noon Womp race. After three rounds of 20 lap heat races I squeaked out a win just ahead of John. Bob was close behind in third. Complete results:

1st Bill 43 pts.
2nd John 40
3rd Bob 36
4th - tie Dave 33
4th - tie Doc 33
5th Brian 28
6th Rob 27
7th Gerry 15
8th Mitch 14

The Flexi race was a different story! John cleaned our clocks running a total of 197 laps in four 4 minute heats. Dave in second was ten laps down, but Bob was only one lap behind Dave in third. Complete results from the Flexi race:

The six o'clock Womp race had six entrees. Around 6:01 PM Doc's alarm went off and he woke up! He won the Womp race with 28 points for two rounds. I was second with 23, and Dave and Brian tied for third with 22. Complete results:

1st Doc 28 points
2nd Bill 23
3rd - tie Dave 22
3rd - tie Brian 22
4th Bart 19
5th Rico 18
6th Hersch 8

The evening Flexi race was another all Doc show! He took the win with a 191 lap run (lucky for him John wasn't still around!). Dave was second with 188 laps, and I was third with 188 laps (Dave was awarded second place with a 5.045 second lap average, versus my 5.057 lap average!). Race results:

The racing is tightening up at Inslot's Checkered Flag! Everyone has made improvements to not only their cars, but to their driving skill on this road course! The track was open from 10:00 AM until 9:00 PM. Thanks to all that made it out to race, and those that made it by just to run some cars and visit! I had a great time!

Oh yeah, here's that PM Winner of BOTH classes:
