Topic: "Big" Glenn Heath (5 replies, posted in NASTE)
It is with great sadness that I tell you all Glenn Heath passed away last night. Glenn was admitted to the hospital last week with heart problems. His daughter Marsha said they were unsure about memorial services at this time. Glenn was an outstanding member of our Northwest slot car community. An awesome builder, racer, and an incredible friend! He will be missed dearly!

Rob has been busy! He stopped by with the latest of his builds.
This is an original 1/24 Revell AC Cobra in its original molded purple. Rob chose to leave the car in the original molded color and focus on the small details.

On May 8th 2021 Tom Street held his annual Dale Earnhardt Memorial Race. This was an OSCAR race for the NASCAR Class which are 1/24 scale scratchbuilt chassis cars powered by super 16D motors. The speed and handling of these cars is surprising! With 16 entries of these incredibly fast hard bodied cars, it was sure to be an exciting day of racing!
A qualifying session sets the grid for two divisions of racing. The top eight qualifiers were slated for the Monster Energy Race, and the lower eight qualifiers were gridded for the Xfinity Race. The winner of the Xfinity Race has the option of moving up into the Monster Energy Race or being credited with the Xfinity Race win. If the winner choses to move up he then receives the Iron Man Award for competing in both races! In this scenario the next highest finisher in the Xfinity race is declared the winner.
The track at Tom's World is a four lane routed track that is long, fast, tight, tricky, and very technical! It is the most difficult track I have ever raced on and that includes the legendary three lane track of Lee Dundas' in Wilsonville! It took me 20 years to get over to Bend to race on Tom's track. I wish I would have made it sooner!
In the Xfinity Race it was Jim with the win. Bob Nak got the option to move up to the Monster Energy race. The Monster Energy race was won by Curt, who by the way was also the top qualifier for the day. Both races were action packed and saw lots of good side by side racing. It was a fun and exciting day! Thank you Tom for another fantastic day of racing!

Re: Tifosi Racing (18 replies, posted in Cars)
These are the pieces that make up the fourth or top layer of the chassis.
These are all the components laid out in their respective layers. With each layer being approximately .050" thick, the finished chassis thickness is pretty porky at .200" overall!

Re: Tifosi Racing (18 replies, posted in Cars)
These are the pieces that make up the third layer. They are secured to the lower (second layer) using screw, washers, and nuts.
Some of the pieces are captured rather than screw tightened, which allows those pieces to free float to some degree.

Re: Tifosi Racing (18 replies, posted in Cars)
This is the second layer which the motor bracket/mount attaches to (in this photo the motor bracket is install backwards). Again, this layer is secured to the lower or first layer with adhesive as a laminated joint.
After gluing the first two layers together the rest of the chassis is bolt together.
