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.

After some really close racing, Doc resurfaced to the top of the heap! It was a hard fought win for this one!

Monday February 21st was another fun day at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway. We had 10 racers on hand for the High Noon Womp race. The track was hooked up, tight and fast for the Womps, resulting in break-out laps for a few racers. Bob Nakamura was super fast, winning all three rounds of 20 lap heat races for a clean sweep!

Topic: New Home for a Historic Track! (21 replies, posted in Track)
Rob Enders has purchased and moved Jeff Courtney's Hemi Heights Raceway to his shop space in north Vancouver. Rob's space is in the upstairs of a large shop building. It will provide space for some great racing as well as plenty of pit space in an adjoining room! This track originally built by Larry Cockerham and Dave Smith, was located in Larry's shop in Carlton Oregon. Jeff Courtney purchased the track and moved it to his shop in northeast Portland. Jeff recently moved and sold the track to Rob. It will now be located close to the Salmon Creek area just north of Vancouver. Rob has just started putting the track back together and perform some minor restoration work. I know of no one better at this type of work. Rob has done some awesome restorations of slot cars and vintage signage. He is well qualified for this task! This track has been host to PASER, OSACAR, and NASTE club races. It will be great to have this track back up and running!

It is great to see Lee Dundas Jr. making a return to the OSCAR racing scene. He was on top of the heap in the first part of the qualifying session! (There you go Lee, it has been documented!).
Mitch came out in support for the event, and although he did not race he stuck out the entire event helping with turn marshal duties. Thank you very much Mitch!
Bart ran a great race! This is one new comer that is coming up FAST!

Re: McFarland Memorial Track Tour 2022 (42 replies, posted in Events)
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!

Re: PASER Open Track Monday! (65 replies, posted in PASER)
After the 6 PM Womp race the Flexis were on the grid for the final race of the day. This time that pesky Doc showed his skill again by returning to the top the podium! We gotta do something about this guy! He seems to be winning everything everywhere he goes!
Results from the evening Flexi race:
It was a great day for me as a track owner. The Open Track Mondays are a unique event. Participants come and go throughout the day and evening. Some come for the Womp and Flexi races, others come just for track time. On this Monday we met Hersch who is looking to return to slot cars after his experiences as a youngster. Ron who is a fellow track owner and member of PHOSAR participated in some bigger scale racing. Jeff and Stuart stopped by for some track time for practice and testing. Whatever the reason folks show up, I'm glad and appreciative of the fact they come! That's why we have these tracks. That you to you all!
Oh, by the way. That guy there off in the distance.....Yeah, he won three of the four races today! sheez..............

Re: PASER Open Track Monday! (65 replies, posted in PASER)
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:
Round 2 results:
6 PM Womp Race final results:
1st Bill 31 points

And here's your Womp winner (PASER WEENER)!
After the Womp race we lined up for the Flexi race. This was to be another close race with many door to door battles! The format for the Flexi races is a traditional round robin format with 4 minute heats, one round. Again Doc seemed to somehow stick with it and pull through to the win. What is up with this guy? Must be the beard thing!? Yet another squeak by victory, this time by just 3 laps!
Yeah, yeah, he won again.....

Re: PASER Open Track Monday! (65 replies, posted in PASER)
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!

The 4.5 inch Flexi NASCAR race was run immediately following the Classic NASCAR race. The consisted of one round of five minute heats. John came back to take the win just two laps ahead of Bob and Howie, who were tied for second. Bob took second place by way of better lap average.
Here are the results:
