Topic: OSCAR Late Model NASCAR Tips (0 replies, posted in OSCAR)
Everybody knows the 1/24 Chevrolet Slab Side bodies are the best for the OSCAR Late Model NASCAR Class. But the question that always comes up is; which ones are the Slab Sides? The Slab Sides are the 1995-1999 Revell Monogram Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1/24 kits. But they were not all slab-sides. You have to check picture on the model box to verify. Some of those years, including the Luminas had curled sides too.

With so many great looking cars entered it was difficult to pick a winner for Concours!

Topic: The 2026 OSCAR Racing Season Opens at Tom's World in Bend! (4 replies, posted in OSCAR)
Racing at Tom's World has always been a big challenge for me. Not only in regards to the high caliber of racers east of the mountains, but in the track itself. The track is a combination of super speedway and tight twisty road course. Think "Roval" in NASCAR terms.
My friend Zack (who by the way is one of the finest racers, and people, I have ever met) always tells me; "it is preparation, preparation, and preparation". And although I thought I was pretty well prepared for this trip to Tommy's, I was only fooling myself. There are areas of the track that are very hard on gears, and areas where mistakes can lead to hard crashes and body as well as chassis damage. I suffered from the latter, completing only 42 laps (1 1/2 heat races) with a broken chassis from a mistake in the banking.
The positive take-away from my day was my ability to watch or spectate during most of the race, and although I did have to pay attention to my turn while corner marshalling, I saw some fantastic racing take place on the track! After the first round of racing and the usual "jitters & nerves" all of the drivers settled in and started turning some impressive lap times and lap totals. Most all of the racers suffered some sort of mechanical issue during the race. Everything from gear problems, to crash damage, and motor issues, none of which are uncommon at Tom's. Note worthy events were; JP's spectacular crash in the finger as a rider (partially my fault as I just missed grabbing his car and saving it), JB's spectacular crash in the sweeping straight leading to the bridge (caused by a wheel that decided to leave his car), Shaun Mayea's awesome come back after suffering gear problems, and Jimmy's consistantly quick laps after suffereing a multitude of car issues including motor failure.
It was nothing but top notch racing the entire day. JP scored the win despite his bad luck adventures, and Tom pressing him hard but eventually falling to second. Shaun Mayea and John Gill finshed tied for third. John's finish was the highest of the "Valley" racers, a feat to be proud of. Two other things I'd like to mention, one is Nick Johnson's Concours win with his beautiful Petty Plymouth. I gotta tell you, this guy does beautiful work and not just slot car body paint! He made some great additions and improvements to the track before this race. Thanks Nick! And lastly a shout out to Steven. This was his first trip to Tom's World. By the end of the race and all that track time he was turning some really good laps. Watch out Bend guys, he may be our ace in the hole next time!
Thank you Tommy and Susan for another outstanding race and lunch! And thank you for your hospitality in general. Tom's Racing World has become more than just a track and a race for me. It is a chance to visit with people I respect as competitors, but even more, to visit with same people I also consider friends!

Topic: Odd Monday Racing Flys the Columbia River Slot Car Racers Banner! (1 replies, posted in Rob's Redline Raceway)
Last night's Odd Monday races featured car classes from the Columbia River Slot Car Racers (CRSCR) Rule Sheet. With 10 racers in attendance tyhere was bound to be some great racing! We started the night off with a relatively new class, Open Production. This class is based on 1/32 production cars, with NSR and Slot.it being the most popular. Rules allow for most any modification, but the car's chassis must remain the production chassis the car came with. Bob won the race by just 4 laps over Mike. It was an interesting race as racers that did not have a legal car for the class were allowed to race their Womp Class cars.
Results - Open Production race:
Fastest Lap Times:
After the Open Production Race the super fast Flexi Class cars were placed on the starting line. Redline Raceway with its high speed banked turn allows cars to turn some very quick laps! Right now the JK chassis pretty much dominate this class and proved that point by taking the win.
Results - Flexi Class:
Fastest Lap Times:
The last class for the night were the Midgets. This was the first race for the Midgets. I had anticipated a high level of car destruction for this class. I was wrong! Not only was this class a blast to race, the darn things held together very well! My car had every piece of chrome trim in place at the start of the race, and I did not lose, break, or even scratch one piece during the entire race and practice! And believe me, there were plenty of opportunities for something to come loose during all the crashes! Mike drove an excellent race scoring the first win with his blue Midget!

Re: Midget Racing at Rob's Redline Raceway on Mondays? (11 replies, posted in Rob's Redline Raceway)
Here's my Midget entry. I finally got it done this morning (just in time for the race, as usual). I really struggled putting this kit together. I started off by painting the body, which ended up being a 1960's style "fade" paint job. After assembling the body by attaching the lower rear portion of the body to the upper rear, I found out the roll bar won't go into place with the rear assembled. I completed a "work around" by using my razor saw. Getting all the detail chrome pieces attached was a pain! The rear "cage" doesn't have any mounting points, so I made my own method of attaching it to the body. Once I had the body completed I found mounting the body to the race chassis was another challenge. After some more razor saw work and a lot of cussing, I got 'er done!........I don't expect it to look like this for very long..........

Tomorrow is Odd Monday Racing at Rob's Redline Raceway! We are expecting Midgets!
Along with the inaugural Midget race, I'd like to get some details for our Monday races on paper. I was thinking we could start off the evening or maybe better yet end the evening with some discussion. Here are some topics I think we should discuss:
1. Sticking with Odd dated Mondays for race dates:
2. Starting time - doors open:
3. How many races per night:
4. Start time for first race:
5. Start time for second race:
6. Classes for racing (currently 4 - Flexi, Womp, Open Production, Midgets):
7. Possible rotation of classes:
8. Rules for Midgets (see previous post here):
9. Other:

Re: Season Opening Race at Redline Raceway! (2 replies, posted in Rob's Redline Raceway)
The racers at Rob's Redline are friendly and always willing to help out new racers in getting up to speed. Track owner Rob gave Ray some good tips.
Mike G. had a great night, winning the Womp race and placing second in the Flexi race!
Bill H. also ran well. He has been away from racing for most of the summer, but by the end of the race he was back in the hunt!
Kona, a rookie last season, showed up with a new controller and demostrated what a difference good equipment can make! Fifth in the Fexi race is his best finish to date!

Re: Season Opening Race at Redline Raceway! (2 replies, posted in Rob's Redline Raceway)
After the Flexi race and dinner were over (pizza supplied by Rob) the Womp cars took over the track. By comparison the Womps are a little easier on racers than the Flexis. Being smaller makes them just a little easier to get around the track without contacting other cars. But just a little easier! The competition is this class is extremely close. Just one lap separated the top three in this race.
Here are the Womp results:
Fast lap times:
Overall I'd say the season opener for Monday Night Racing at Rob's Redline Raceway was a big hit! We welcomed a new racer, Ray into the group. Ray had raced in the '60s in the New Jersey area and he adjusted to the track quickly. With a great racer turnought like we had last night, we need to streamline our Monday race program. I will be working with Rob and looking at shortening the time between the start of the heat races, and keeping a closer eye on the clock to start racing on time, and keeping the dinner break to a minimum. We are still planning to be racing the 1/32 Open Production, and the new Midget classes. I disussed with Rob the possiblity of rotaing some classes on the schedule. Stay tuned on that.
It was great to see Ray at the track as a new racer!
