Agreed, always.  Great group and great times.  We should plan another similar event for next year.

I've got a few, I'll bring some options for you.

Good running Russell!

Thanks Bill, I had a great time as always.

That's great Mike, everyone should have a tank to drive around.

"Clear the road!"

Goose, yes I was running a 42B the night of the race but it's been bumped up to a ProSpeed as it now sits.

I have my car from the other night set up with a ProSpeed motor.  I only have one good one.  I could set the other car up with the 42B for comparison purposes and we could test both to compare.

Trans Am thoughts.

If they were all about the same weight with similar motors that might keep different cars reasonably equal.

Hmmmm, Trans Am...  Mustangs, Cameros...  Food for thought:

So who makes a 1:32 Javelin?

Tentative date for the event up North will be August 17th.  The initial plan is to run on Victor's 4-lane Scalextric Sport and John's 4-lane routed track.  It should be a great day so let's start planning to see how many of us we can get to the race.

I'm going to talk with John about some minor rule modifications for the Cartrix cars.  More as it occurs.

Yes it's true!  It starts this Saturday, June 21st. The Nasteburgring opening round will be held at TooBad Motorplex in Fairview Oregon, followed by the second round at Penguin Point in Hillsboro Oregon.

For those interested in some breakfast before the racing begins on Saturday, we will be meeting at 8:00 am at the Stagecoach Saloon (20101 NE Sandy Blvd., Fairview Oregon 97024) for their world famous $4 breakfast - 2 eggs, 2 bacon or sausage, hashbrown potatoes, and toast.

After breakfast we will travel the 2 miles to race at TooBad Motorplex where the doors open at 10:00am.

After the race at TooBad Motorplex we will travel a little over 2 miles (ok, maybe a little over 20 miles) to Penguin Point in Hillsboro for the second round of racing.

And yes, loaners are still available, contact Monte.

I had to look at that one for a while.  I think that's a close-up of the flying ones fingers.

I hope...

Great video.  Glad I got to see Amanda's Leap.  I guess the Hammer doesn't fall far from the toolbox.

One heck of a night in Salem.  Thanks to Dave for putting it together.  I'm still stunned by the result.  Clearly practice is over-rated.  Well, for me at least.

Reminds me of a day on the Epson Golf Tour.  Stepped onto the practice green.  Dropped the ball and lined up a 30 foot putt.  Rolled it right in.  Guys are all staring at me like 'who is this guy?'.  Walk over, pick up my ball and walk off the putting green declaring "no sense ruining a good stroke".

Sometimes the magic works.

No problem here, as a rallyman I'm used to just whatever the conditions are and we'll make the best of it.  I thought both classes were fun if a little treacherous.

Thanks for Howie for having us and thanks to all those that brought treats and race cars.

A great time as always.
