I know it is late notice, but I am going to stop by Al's tonight with a big box of used cars I'd like to sell. Cars are $10 to $15 each, most are complete runners. I'm shooting to be there by 4:00pm, but I have to leave early.

This past Monday, July 11th was Open Track at Inslot's Checkered Flag raceway in Vancouver. The doors opened at 10:00 AM as usual, and the first race for Womps started at noon. The Womps have become a popular, highly contested class, with some very close racing! This race was no exception! Bob Nakamura was the fast guy posting another victory, which awards him another "Fence Post" on the coveted PASER WEENER CUP!

Here are the results from the Womp race. This are 20 lap sprint races with points awarded for finish position, and totaled for an overall score to determine the race winner. Also to note is these are races run with a "break-out" minimum lap time to keep the competition somewhat equal. The break-out is set at 5.5 seconds. It is interesting to see how close the competitors run to that minimum lap time!

After the Womp race we raced the Flexi Class. The rules for this class are pretty loose. Competitors must race a flexi type chassis car..........That's pretty much it. The Flexi race was run with one round of 3 minute heats. Mitch Brooks was the Flexi Man of the day and posted his first win at Inslot's Checkered Flag! Mitch's name was the newest addition to the PASER WEENER CUP! Congrats Mitch!

The last race of the day was a first time event at Inslot's Checkered Flag. John Gill provided the inspiration, leadership, and cars to put together a field of IROC cars for racing at PASER sponsored events. The cars are all PASER/OSCAR spec cars for the Sports Car and Clubman Classes. The cars feature "hot" super 16D motors, and they are FAST! The chassis of course make these "hardbody" cars handle like Flexis! We had 5 racers stick around for this race. The racing was very close, but best of all, we suffered no failures or beak downs! Thank you John for your work and generosity in provided these outstanding cars!

The next stop on the 2022 McFarland Memorial Track Tour is on August 20th at Pelican Park Raceway in Eugene!

The location of Pelican Park is BEHIND 855 S. 57th St./Drive, Springfield, just west of the Bob Straub Parkway and 57th is the first light south of E. Main on that Parkway.

Turn west (right) at that light and take 57th up the hill for about a block. There will be a sign on the east side of 57th at the drive that leads back to the track.

• In honor of Bob McFrland's favorite class to race at Pelican Park, we will be racing "BIG NASCAR", and using 'Super' motors. All cars are expected to start the event with a 0.055" track clearance

• 10am = doors open at PPS for practice and registration. There will be a $10 registration fee for participants who are NOT members of the PPS 'KeyClub' who pay $40/month dues.

• 1pm = racing starts with each racer pulling a chip from "The Rattler" to determine your start position for your first heat race with each participant getting 4 qualifying heat races to achieve a "win" in a heat race, and you must "win-to-get-in" to the 'fast - 8'

• Each heat is 50 laps long, and your finish in each heat will determine where you start in your next heat. In the first half of the program, Qualifying heats will determine who is in the 'Fast-8' ('win to get in'). Depending on how many folks more than 8 decide to join us for this event, we will have Semi's, a Consi and Main for the "Hooligans", the group of the racers who didn't win in the first half, so didn't get into the 'fast 8' program, but now qualify for the 'Slo-8' program'.

• 3-ish - 4-ish pm should be a break after the determination of the 'fast-8', likely w/food (pizza?)

• We will return to racing after the break to finish with Semi-Mains, Consi(s), (2 or more depending on numbers of racers), and finally the Main Event, anticipating 'done' by 6-ish pm?

Rich,

You're welcome, it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed racing with the Electron guys!

Ten racers made it out for the Monday evening event. Seven local racers and three out-of-towners. Rich's beautiful track is tricky and challenging, especially for the out-of-towners (who came to be known as The Three Garys; Gary T., Scarey Gary, and The Turd Gary. I suppose you can guess who the Turd was....).

In addition to Rich being entered in the race, Bob Hanna was in attendance, which meant there were some seriously fast racers on hand! Rich allowed both the usual for Roseburg racing, big wheel style Trans Am cars as well as the OSCAR spec Trans Am cars to compete. The cars entered to race were beautiful to look at! All of them were very nicely painted and detailed! Once the racing began it was clear that Bob Hanna and Rich were the guys to beat! I couldn't believe how quickly they could get around that technical course! In the end it was Bob Hanna victorious over Rich Vecchio. Following those two were Ron Leuenberger, Lowell Buehner, and Mark Colby. The top five finishers received some very cool awards hand made by Rich.

In addition to the standard style of distance over time racing, Rich has a computer program he uses to determine finish positions by handicap. So at the completion of the race, some of us less skilled racers have a chance to finish a little higher in the secondary results, based on our actual performance average over our "handicap". It's an interesting system, and well to be honest, it worked out well for me! Thank you for hosting a great race Rich, and another tribute to Bob McFarland!

Congratulations Terry!
