Bend was fully represented!

The illusive Bill H. on the left:

Tom's F50 did not fare well during the race! Post race damage....

Here are some more photos I captured at the race:

A big thanks to Kirk Smith for coming up to fill the Tech Inspector position!

HO Mike's Ferrari suffered a little damage.

Jimmy F. is one of the newer racers from Bend. He showed us some driving talent by qualifying sixteenth at 6.055 just .001 second behind Forrest. Jimmy is also currently constructing a new routed 1/24 four lane track in his shop. I've seen the pictures and it is looking really good!

Kevin L. from Bend was a first time racer at Springwater Raceway. He qualified his Corvette in seventeenth with a lap of 6.062 seconds. HO Mike was claiming Kevin was his son.....I'm not so sure! He seemed much nicer than Mike! (Just kidding)....

Bart (Bartman) qualified his Ferrari Testarossa eleventh at 5.806 seconds. Bart is another Portland area racer that just keeps getting better and faster! I have no idea how that Ferrari made it into the Ochida Motorsports Ford camp!

Bad Billy, yup, that's me. They tell me that nick name is earned and justified.....go figure......I managed to qualify tweflth with a 5.812 second lap from my Ferrari Testarossa.

Qualifying thirteenth was Bob H. (Good Bob) with a 5.878 second run. Bob came all the way up to Springwater from Roseburg. Bob is an incredible racer, one of the most talented I've ever met! Bob races with an old Parma Turbo controller, wire wound resistor, and no electronic sensitivity or brake enhancements. He routinely wins with equipment considered by many as obsolete! Oh, and his Ferrari Modena featured a Sealed 16D motor!

Dennis (DC Dynamo) made the trip down from Seattle to race his Ferrari Enzo. Dennis is an awesome chassis builder specializing in lighter chassis designs by OSCAR standards. I don't know how, but he makes his light chassis work. I figure it must be magic! His best lap in qualifying was 5.605 seconds, good enough for seventh.

Korbyn, one of the racers from Bend, is about the nicest guy you could ever meet! I always enjoy seeing him at a race! I remember when I first met him he was just a kid and I could keep up with him most of the time. Now he routinely beats me! He is a good racer and hard to beat! He qualified eighth with his Ferrari Modena at 5.606 seconds, just .001 second behind Dennis! I was unable to get a photo of Korbyn during his qualifying run, because he was constantly moving his head watching his car lap the track. Every close up photo of him was blurry! His Modena somehow totally escaped the camera's lens.

The qualifying session progressed quickly and smoothly. Racers did a great job of paying attention to the "On Deck" information on the computer screen and being ready to hook up and run their laps. Bob (Nak Nak) posted a 5.409 second lap, good enough for third in qualifying. Everybody knows Bob is the guy to beat at Springwater, but Bob is pretty much the guy to beat WHEREVER he shows up! He is just a really good racer, and his cars are always well prepared!

HO Mike was right behind Bob's time at 5.555 seconds. When Mike shows up at a race, you KNOW it is going to be a good time!

Bob Nak deserves a big congratulations and thanks from all of us racers, for putting on the biggest and best OSCAR race the Portland area has seen in years! This OSCAR Sports Car race had a total of 19 entries, with the majority of the racers from the east side of Mt. Hood!

The entries broke down like this: 10 from the Bend area, 4 from the Portland area, 3 from Vancouver, 1 from Roseburg, and 1 from Seattle. The cars stacked up a lot like the racers with Ferraris accounting for 14 of the 19 entries.

The last class to hit the track was the NASTE Open Production Class (this class was formed for racing at Redline Raceway). Dan Fritz (Doc) and Mike Guthrie were ready for competion with well prepared cars! Their car building and race prep on these types of cars was clearly evident! The cars they had prepared worked very well on the Redline course! In the end Doc took the win over Mike, but only by three laps! Thanks to both Doc and Mike for loaning out some great cars for others to race!
