Mesh is what is supposed to be used by rule. Just screen door/window material.

The GT-1 is legal under current rules. As far as I know the saloon cars are not along with the Ferrari 333.

It was my first run at Gorge Raceway and I've got to say despite the challenge it presents, I liked racing on it. However the multiple contusions on my shoulder from hitting the display case might disagree a little. I guess I'm just a slow learner.  Thanks for a fun night of racing Bob and everyone.

Thanks Doc. I figured as much, but just wanted to be sure so as to avoid potential issue in the future

I would like some clarification on what cars are legal for a few of the new classes:

1) Slot.it/Policar Classic- I spoke with Doc last night about whether the Policar Ferrari 330p4/412P was legal and he said it was on the list but the Policar listed is actually a BRM F1 car (Policar PCAR06A)

2) Slot.it DTM- The list of cars has the Mercedes 190E but not the C-Class.  The lastest releases from Slot.it are called C-Class and not 190E. See the yellow ProMarket (CA53a) car and the upcoming white Warsteiner car (CA54a). The original 190 releases are getting harder and more expensive to find. The only silver release (CA44c) I can find is on Ebay for $90.00 plus shipping. Are we going to include these cars?

Very sad news indeed. Rest In Peace Beau you will be missed.

A big THANKS to Al for opening the track to us despite his situation. 
I hope we got everything shut down properly.

Which race would be the points race?

Nice work Dan, thank you for the effort. I just have one question. LMP cars are among the fastest on the planet, why have a lower rpm motor limit than older and presumably slower cars listed in other classes?

I just realized that Dominic's football awards night is on Thursday so I get to miss another race. :-(

I echo those sentiments Doc, I loved racing at Too Bad.  Dominic's last football game is Thursday and he is playing with his cast all wrapped up. Looks like a club. He played last night and scored a TD. See ya all on Nov 3.

A nice pair of cars there Mitch

Thanks Howie for hosting the race. I might have to say the pizza was the best part of my day, my car was just too slow to keep up with the most of the field. I am happy to not have had any issues with my car, and mostly stayed out of crashes. Need to work on the speed issue.

Dominic has a football game, so I will not be there

I think this is a sensible compromise

Doc,

I use postimages.org. You just set up a free account and you can upload your pictures to their site. Once uploaded, you choose the picture you wish to post and click on the share button and it will bring up a list of links. I usually choose the hotlink for forums but others will also work. When you choose what link you wish, click the button and it will pop up "link copied", then you simply paste the link in whatever forum you are posting to.

Regards
Rico

If you don’t like the wise cracks, maybe you should’ve spackled that sucker shut….

Another small turn out tonight but the racing was still fierce. We did have a first tonight and not soon to be forgotten any time soon. I’m sure you’ve all heard “Bad Moon Rising” by CCR. Well, we had a “Crack of Doom” sighting. I’m pretty sure Doc will not forget his belt again. I’m pretty confident Greg hopes he doesn’t as he had the first sighting and coined the term.

A crane blew a tire and had a massive fiery accident near Cascade Locks so I-84 was closed causing traffic gridlock

Mitch was thinking we might do it after the Odd Thursday race on the 7th but you might want to check with him on that.

Doc is correct, an intense evenly balanced night of racing. Oh what fun!! Not a good night to have a lead wire come out of the guide in the points race :-(

Thanks everyone. The surgery went well and they found no more cancer. So, onto reconstructive surgery tomorrow
