Thanks Mitch. This is not a very good time of year to try and put together an event. But with that said we still had a good turnout and some excellent racing. It was a fun day!

Zack, your "A" car was really fast, one of the fastest on the track. Al was running some really good lap times by the end of the race. Had he had more experience on the track I know he would have finished higher with that car. The only times I was able to keep up with him was when he had an "off".

Topic: OSCAR's Lee Dundas Memorial Race at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway (9 replies, posted in OSCAR)
The Lee Dundas Memorial Race on December 14, 2019 was the first OSCAR Race to be held on the Checkered Flag track since its move to Vancouver Washington. Races showed up from Bend and the Portland area to make up a field of nine racers for the NASCAR Class race. The race format consisted of four rounds of four minute heats. Nearly every racer experienced some sort of mechanical difficulties throughout the day of racing. Most difficulties were the result of some pretty significant and dramatic wrecks!
The day started off with qualifying. Bad Bob, to no one's surprise was the top qualifier! Here's the results of those qualifying efforts:
1. Bad Bob 3.9222380 with a 3.9361839 back up lap
2. Tom Street 3.9406895 3.9760907
3. Stewart 3.9428351 3.9803818
4. Ted 3.9810254 4.0031244
5. Gearloose 4.0215759 4.0451767
6. John Gill 4.0250088 4.0580499
7. Bill 4.0563334 4.1337870
8. Al 4.2101677 4.2899813
9. Jim 4.5839186 4.6813255
At the halfway point in the race there was a tie for first between John and Tom, with each of them completing 447 laps. As it turned out mechanical issues kept John off the podium and dropped the top qualifier Bob to seventh. Here are the final race results:
1. Tom Street 883 Laps with a best lap of 4.006992 seconds
2. Stewart 879 " " 4.007572 "
3. Gearloose 857 " " 4.058463 "
4. Ted 851 " " 4.015050 "
5. Bill 831 " " No Time
6. John 821 " " 4.007385 "
7. Bad Bob 773 " " 3.410535 " (unofficial)
8. Al 750 " " 4.280688 "
9. Jim 651 " " 4.663818 "
All in all I had a great time! There was lots of track time under racing conditions, and the competition was fierce! I'd like to thank everyone that made it out for this race, with a special thanks to Tom and Jim who travelled all the way from Bend!
Left to right: Bad Bob, Gearloose, Ted, Al.

The HO track built by Doug Haynes is up for sale. The track is custom crafted using plastic sectional track and is fully and beautifully landscaped. I raced on this track in the early eighties. It is unique and very well built. The track has been in storage for many years.
Tom Snyder at Pelican Park Speedway is currently the caretaker of the track.
For a little history of the track, look here: http://www.pelicanparkspeedway.com/history.html

Re: This is the Can Am page. (113 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
I think that is the biggest part of the problem Zack. We don't consistently enforce the rules we already have. I know I could surely do a better job of ensuring my cars are legal, and as a track owner (again) I could do a better job of holding racers to the standards. With that said, as racers we should all be respective of any rules established in an effort to preserve the tracks we race on!

Re: This is the Can Am page. (113 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
I agree Zack, I think a "static" tech inspection can't guarantee a chassis will not drag or touch the track surface. I think tech should include a lap or two around the course to verify chassis clearance under normal operation.
