Topic: OSCAR Clubman Race at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway (1 replies, posted in OSCAR)
There were 12 racers entered in the Clubman Class race at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway on April 9th. In qualifying Terrible Tommy Street set the track record for Clubman class cars with a 4.717 second lap (he actually posted a faster lap during the race, but hey TOO BAD, that don't count!).....
The race format scheduled for use was the standard OSCAR four rounds of 4 minute heats. The rtacing was very close with many door to door on track battles. At the halfway point in the race Turing John was in the lead with 378 laps, followed by Nak Nak (Bob) with 370 laps. In the end, even with some gear problems, John could not be denied the win!
Here are the final results:
1st "Touring John" Gill 749 laps
2nd "Bad Billy" Bostic 745
3rd Bob "Nak Nak" Nakamura 739
4th "Magic Mike" Leech 709
5th Stuart "Stew Meat" Wall 703
6th "Scary Gary" Klein 691
7th "Meat" Al Christensen 682
8th Michael Mitchel 679
9th "Terrible Tommy" Street 663
10th "Bart Man" Ouchida 653
11th "Just Mitch" Brooks 606
12th "Professor Fate" Jim Mitchel 602
Jim Mitchel won the Racer's Choice Award for his beautiful red Ferrari 308. Tom Street was awarded the "Too Bad" Award for well.....obvious reasons!
It was an awesome day of racing for me! I had a really good time! Thank you to all that were able to make it out!

Rob has completed the work on his track. I will be the first to say the finished product came out very nice! The track is smooth, runs well, and looks great! Nice job Rob!
We glued the track up just a bit, then Rob started laying down some good times with his Womp!

Bob Nakamura and I made a trip over to Rob's track today. Rob has done an outstanding job of setting up this track he purchased from Jeff Courtney. This track was originally built by Larry Cockerham and Dave Smith. Today we connected the wiring to Rob's new power supply to get the track up and running. We also connected the wiring to the computer to check the race program operation. I can verify all is good, and Rob is moving forward towards the first race day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7120n9Xy3U

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing (91 replies, posted in Race Rules)
When we first started racing 1/32 cars at TooBad Motorplex my goal was to make the rules and classes as simple as possible. Modifications were limited to keep costs down. As new cars were released from the ever increasing number of different manufacturers it became harder and harder to put classes together with equal competition as the goal. Car classes are usually established by type or style of car body, and chassis and motor performance. There are so many variations now, to me it only makes sense to base classes on 1. manufacturer/brand and 2. body style. If you want to race NSR F1 cars, the class should be the NSR F1 Class. The way it has become, racers have to buy a $40 to $80 car for a class, then add another $50 in parts to make it competitive. And then in 6 months or a year someone buys a NEW car some manufacturer just released and what was good is now obsolete.
For myself, my interest has shifted to 1/24. Not just because the track I now have is best suited for those cars, but also because I have somewhat lost my taste for 1/32. I'm tired of constantly chasing different classes and rules. With the local 1/24 racing I am still racing some of the same cars I was racing 20 years ago!....Literally!! I built quite a few cars for racing 1/32, but when I check my box for a car to run in the next race, I either have nothing that fits the class, or what I have that's close is nowhere close to competitive (and thanks, but I do not like borrowing cars). I'm trying to get rid of 1/32 cars. Not buy more!
