Man, that was a while ago!

Mitch, I'm gonna try to get some cars together to race Thursday, but if you have an extra that would be cool!

Thanks!

That was a really good race for the opener at Rob's Redline Raceway! Thanks Rob for hosting!

Race results from Sept.15 , 2022:

Ron and Dave were nice enough to send me some photos from the race.

This guy is THE up and comer! He is no longer the "new guy". He is now fast and consistent! (Plus he brings AWESOME cookies!).

A big thanks goes out to Herb (pictured right)! He broke early in the race but stuck around and turn marshalled all day long! Thank you Herb!

Craig came all the way down from Seattle to compete. He is FAST!

Gary T. and Bob waiting on the start of the next heat race.

So this is how my day finally ended. I battled problems all day long and thought I would be able to at least finish the race.........uh..........NO........Three wide in the bank ended badly for me!

Yet another thrilling race at Springwater Raceway!

Thank you Bob for hosting and opening our racing season with the Patriot 500!

Here's some photos I took at the event:

Final Stop in the McFarland Memorial Track Tour 2022 at Inslot's Checkered Flag September 24, 2022!

In Bob McFarland's honor, the feature race for this event will be a Sports Car race for cars that comply with PASER rules.

Preceding the feature race there will be a short race for Trans Am cars. This is a Trans Am challenge race put forth by the racers in Roseburg for all the other "hardbody" clubs/organizations in the Northwest.

The race director will set the racing field by using the random placement option on the computer program
.
Motors: Any D can motor up to and including S16D open large arm for any class. Stock falcon style FK motors may also be used. No shunting, no shimming. Arm must be labeled. No outlaw unlabeled American arms
Race information is as follows:

Doors open at 7:30 A.M. on race day for practice

These general rules will apply to the day's racing but, this event is meant to be a day of remembrance more than anything. With that in mind please be respectful of the rules, but keep in mind they will not be strictly enforced:

No qualifying or tech inspection.

Race Director will seed participants.

Race will be stopped to allow a competitor to address a mechanical or other problem without penalty.

Race Director will allow competitors ample time between heats.

Racers may work on their cars at anytime during the race provided there are adequate turn marshals available.

Racing will begin promptly at 11 A.M. with the Trans Am Challenge Race. This will consist of one round of 3 minute heat races for Trans Am Class cars that comply with the rules under PASER, OSCAR, Northwest True Scale, Pelican Park, or the Roseburg tracks.

Lunch will be provided and served immediately following the Trans Am Race. The anticipated time for the lunch break is 1:00 pm, dependent upon attendance. The lunch will be BBQ style prepared by chef Patrick Handy featuring Checkered Flag style hamburgers (cheap and easy!).

After the lunch break the race for the PASER Production Sports Car Class will begin. The race Format will be 2 times through with either 3 or 4 minute heats (depending upon number of entries). The race format will be finalized the day of the event with a 6:00 PM maximum finish time as the goal.

We will have a good selection of loaner cars available for the Sports Car race for anyone that does not have a car for this class (some were actually built by Bob!).

Bob was one of the key motivating personalities for club racing in Oregon. Were it not for Bob many of the current tracks and clubs would not exist, as well as many of the friendships we have established over the years! Therefore I feel it is only fitting that this invitation be extended to anyone that races or is interested in slot car racing throughout Oregon.
