Bob, here is my take on this behavior issue: this is not your failure Bob, you provide a great place to have a fun time racing slot cars and you are a good host. The failure is in a racer taking this hobby way too seriously! As this known racer takes his anger out and yells at the person or persons that he has contentions with, it upsets the whole theme of the race and fellow racers who are out to have a good time. This kind of behavior is unexceptable and we as track owners need to get a handle on this. If we as track owners get together and come up with a plan to stop this nonsense, then the fun will be back at all the tracks that we control. I suggest we as track owners get together soon and come up with a plan. Let's get back to having fun no matter who or what track is hosting the race. If this plan does not take place, things will not change for the better. Note: this is just my opinion, but I am stopping this behavior at my track ( Rapid Raceway ) and it seems to be working as I believe the racers at my track are having fun, at least I have been told so by a few racers.

See ya.
Howie.

Way to go Monty!!

The rules are the same for these 5 classes that can compete at a PACER race or a True Scale race.

Picture one is of the 962. The 962's run once at each of 5 tracks.

Picture two is of the Can-Am that share the same rules between the two groups.

Picture three is of the Classic NASCAR, rules also shared by both groups.

Picture four is of the Trans-Am class that shares the rules by both groups.

Picture five is of the new Le-Mans class that I believe will be run at Bill's Checkered Flag Raceway along with Rapid Raceway.

I don't know at this time what the PASER schedule is as far as what classes will be run during the 2024 season.

Rapid Raceway has one 962 race scheduled. Two Can-Am races scheduled. Two Trans-Am races scheduled.
Two LeMans races scheduled.

I did not have room for the Classic NASCAR, however I MAY have a special race for it.

I have one Indy kit left.
