Re: MONDAY OT (Open Track) (140 replies, posted in InSlot's Checkered Flag Raceway)
I'm really enjoying the Open Track Mondays! We don't usually get a big turn out at any one race, but it does seem to give a lot of my friends a chance to stop by, check in, and get in a little racing. It's not always the same group and I get to see a lot of different friends.
Yesterday we got in some testing and tuning for the upcoming OSCAR Trans Am race at Springwater Raceway this Saturday. We also held a Womp race and a Flexi race, each with 7 entries.
Womp race results:
1st John
2nd Doc
3rd Dave
4th Stuart
5th Beau
6th Bill
7th Mitch
In the end it was John Gill with a clean sweep for the day adding two fence posts to his signature on the prestigious PASER WEENER CUP! Nicely done John!

Re: Northwest True Scale Race at Springwater Raceway - October 6, 2021 (10 replies, posted in Springwater Raceway)
So I was checking over my Classic NASCAR this morning and found an issue. During the later part of the race my motor started stinking and going away (I know, hard to believe from my old Parma green endbell motor, huh?!). Anyway, I found my front axle was bound up and one wheel would hardly turn. My front axle tube was slightly bent, something not unknown to happen at Springwater Raceway! I had added a Billy Bar to reinforce my front axle tube, and although it did not completely prevent the front axle tube from bending, I do believe it kept the front axle tube from breaking off completely, or bending to a point where it could not be easily straightened out. I was able to repair it with just a little tweaking using the axle as a pry bar. We'll see how it holds up in future races!....I wonder if I really need a new motor?...........Ah, it's probably OK..........

Re: NASTRUCK for sale. (18 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
We certainly could! The only reason we aren't racing hard body cars on Mondays is because not everyone has them. The nice thing about the NASTRUCK Howie is selling is the chassis can be used in multiple classes. I could see hard body racing on Mondays in preparation for upcoming races!

Re: NASTRUCK for sale. (18 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
Inslot's Checkered Flag is the home track for the PASER Club. PASER was started by Bob McFarland and Lee Dundas with a main focus on scratchbuilt cars. Most all of the guys currently involved with the Monday Open Track Day have scratchbuilt hardbody cars of some sort. The Womps and Flexis are easy classes to get people involved, but I would also like to eventually see hard bodied cars raced here regularly.

Re: MONDAY OT (Open Track) (140 replies, posted in InSlot's Checkered Flag Raceway)
And then it was evening! Although the attendance for the 6PM racing was a little weak, the racing was not! There were 3 entries for the 6PM WOMP race. Here's how that one shook out:
1st Dave
2nd Bill
3rd Rico
The same racers participated in the Flexi race. The Flexi race was extremely tight with all three competitors finishing on the same lap! Here's the finish in that race!
Dave Smith won that race by THAT much!
Flexi Results- note that the Flexi race is distance over time. The computer results did not accurately reflect the correct finishing order. The photo shows the correct finish order as the cars sit:
Dave Smith added his signature and a hash mark to the PASER WEENERS CUP!

Monday OT - November 1, 2021
'Niler racing on Mondays (SE-niler that is). Yes us old retired guys are dominating the Monday racing right now. With the exception of working man Daniel (Doc), us old farts have taken over Inslot's Checkered Flag on Mondays! The evening crowd has yet to exceed our numbers or enthusiasm!
The first WOMP race started at approximately (did I mention we're retired?) high noon. The WOMP races are 10 lap heads up sprint races. Points are used for scoring, and driver's point totals determine the winners. The first qualifying round of racing is round robin driver rotation. After the first round elimination rounds are held with either the top, or top two drivers advancing. We had 6 entries for this race.
WOMP Qualifying Round Results:
Doc 13 points
Bill 13
Dave 12
John 11
Al 7
Mitch 4
WOMP Semi Round Results:
John 16 points
Dave 10
Al 9
Mitch 5
WOMP Final Results:
Bill 14 points
Doc 11
John 8
Dave 7
After the WOMP races we moved right into the Flexi race. For the Flexi races we run one round with the standard round robin rotation with 4 minute heats. We had the same 6 participants for this race.
Flexi Results:
Doc took the win in the Flexi race by 4 laps. John Gill was second and I finished third. Doc got to add another hash mark to his signature on the coveted PASER WEENER (weekly-winner) CUP!

I'm sorry for not remembering everyone's name. There were quite a few new racers for me to meet. The group was made up of some of Rick Phillis' regular California Fray racers, Serge (a Fray racer from Colorado), some of the local PHOSAR racers, and a few of us misc. guys. A great friendly crowd!
