Stopped by Rob's again today. He is making great progress on his track, and it is coming along nicely!

When Howie and I were there yesterday we got it all bolted together. Rob has now started on filling holes, sanding, and repairing side walls.

I kinda like it!..............shows off your "softer" side!!!!

As is typical for the Monday open track days, people come an go throughout the day and evening. As some folks were leaving after the Flexi race other folks began showing up for the night shift!

We ran two rounds of racing for the PM Womp Race. Some racers commented that the track had changed, and this was backed up by the fact there were no break-outs during this race.

The McFarland Memorial Track Tour kicked off with an OSCAR Super Stock race at Bob Nakamura's Springwater Raceway in Gresham. It was an enjoyable day with good close racing and lots of conversations about Bob. The race itself was the usual OSCAR racing format at Springwater, starting off with a quick qualifying session. Four minute heat races were used with racing alternating between the inside four lanes and the outside four lanes of Bob's 140 foot eight lane Ogilvie hill climb track. Half way through the race we broke for lunch, having awesome Firehouse sub sandwiches (an OSCAR favorite!). By the end of the race each driver had raced for a total of 64 minutes. First through fourth were only separated by 14 laps, and it was just as close for fifth through seventh. It was definitely an exciting race, and a great tribute to Bob McFarland!

By the time evening had rolled around some people had left and others had arrived. We gridded eight cars for the 6 PM Womp race. This time the goal was to keep Doc off the podium. It was not an easy feat! This time around Doc was edged out by just one point! The Womp races are very close, all the way up to the finish of the last heat race!

This Womp race was shortened to just two rounds due to a late start. Here are the results from Round 1:

6 PM Womp Race final results:
1st Bill 31 points
2nd Doc 30 pts.
3rd Dave 27 pts.
4th Bart 22 pts.

6th Rico 14 pts.
7th Ron 12 pts.
8th Hersch 9 pts.

We had a good turn out on February 7th with eleven entries in the high noon Womp race. Ron came up from Woodburn with Dave and Brian to take a run at racing some slightly bigger cars than what will fit on his Viper HO track. It was great to see Terry and Lee make it out, and Mitch also finally made it back to the track for some Womp and Flexi action.

We raced the now standard 3 rounds of 20 lap heat races for the Womps. Each heat race is scored individually with points for first through fourth, so each heat race counts. There is no holding back in these short sprints! The better you finish in each individual race, the higher your total score. After three rounds of racing there was a tie for first place. In this scenario the racer with the quickest lap time through all three rounds, breaks the tie and is awarded the win. In this case Doc's best lap was a 5.501 second lap, which by the way is only .001 second from breaking out (losing a lap)! His fastest lap time was .010 quicker than second place!
