Re: OSCAR Race at Tom's World (12 replies, posted in OSCAR)
The race at Tom's World was fast and furious. There was a mix of veteran and newer racers which was good to see.
There was some excellent side by side racing, cars flying through the air and some just plain old bad luck. The "B" main was won by "The Good Bob from Roseburg and he moved up to the "A" main which left Mortar Mike from Cottage Grove the winner. The "A" main was won by the masterful driving of Curtious Curt from Bend.. I will post pictures from the race and the full field rundown from both races if I can.
Thanks to Tom and Susan for being such great hosts.

Re: March 7th Classic NASCAR Race Details & Rules (10 replies, posted in Springwater Raceway)
Hey Zack,
All the Monogram kits from that era are all about 1.850 plus or minus. You can radius the rear wheel wells for tire clearance and chin spoiler for ground clearance. A few of the kits have side skits on one side and that can be trimmed to match the other side. That is it.

Topic: March 7th Classic NASCAR Race Details & Rules (10 replies, posted in Springwater Raceway)
On March 7th, 2020 The Springwater Classic NASCAR 500 will be held at Springwater Raceway.
Track will open at 9 AM with tech at 10:30. Race will start at 11:00. Cost is 10.00 per racer and includes lunch.
Will run 5 minute heats and race 3 times through. The original intent was to use only sealed super 16D motors. I will be
utilizing the NW True Scale rules which allow motors without seals. Due to the fact many of the racers have motors without seals, I will allow those without seals. Again, I will follow the NW True Scale rules for Sportsman. If you plan to attend, either respond here or email me @ rnak94@aol.com. Thanks.

Here are a couple of changes for Race #1. The doors will open at 11 am instead of noon.
Since this is a long race ( 4 times through) A fee of 10.00 per racer will be charged to pay for the meal.
We will run through 2 times, break for food, then finish the race. I hope this does not inconvenience anyone.
Looking forward to a great race. These changes will be updated on the NASTE calendar page.

An update to the OSCAR rules. All classes of OSCAR hardbody racing now has an open super 16D motor rule. Sealed motors can still be run, but the rule is now open super 16D. Hope that does not mess you all up. Thanks

Hey Monte,
I will host a race. As I have read the posts, I also enjoy the IROC format with fun being the goal. I also believe, as a track owner, would definitely be willing to pitch in funds to help with car wear and tear. Look forward to racing with everyone again.

The original intent was to re-create the American IMSA race series, but the rules do state a group "C " car. Therefore the Lancia and the Mazda 787b will be legal. I hope this rule change helps. I will not change the car list again to add any more confusion. Thanks for your input.
