I'm good with that solution Monte.
Shall the rules be updated to exclude motor pod equipped chassis for Classic Sports Car Division I?
Weigh in now y'all!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,187 replies, posted in NASTE)
I do remember that Mitch. So I did some research and the 1964 cut off year does not eliminate the Ford GT40. How shall we edit the rules to accomplish the goal? If we change the cut off year to 1963 the Ford GT40 will be out. The Ferrari 250 GTO was introduced in 1962, the Jaguar XKE in 1961.
So how about we change the date from 1964 to 1963? The Corvettes up to the '63 Stingrays would still fit in. I realize the majority of 1/32 Stingrays produced are 1964 or later, but they are basically the same from '63 through '67. The biggest difference is the split rear window of the '63 coupes, which many owners cut the split out of the rear window. In fact dealerships were making those modifications for their customers.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,187 replies, posted in NASTE)
Just for clarification. I too thought the rule changes were to equal the playing field between various eligible cars, not to eliminate the Ford GT40 in the Classic Sports Car Div.I class. With the change to the slower H&K 14 k motor chassis competence becomes less of a factor in a cars competitiveness. All things considered with the slower motors the performance of the various car types should tighten up.
With that said was the actual goal to eliminate the GT40s from competition in Classic Sports Car Div.I?
Would the ban encompass ALL the GT40 brands, or just the Slot.it GT40s?
One thing to remember and consider is the Slot.it GT40s are an excellent choice for new racers to help them get a car in this class that is easily made competitive. If these cars should be illegal for the class, wouldn't it be easier to just declare Slot.it cars, or any podded cars ineligible for Classic Sports Car Div.I, regardless if the motor pods are modified into a fixed position?

If I remember we said no to the gto40 in class 1
If that is a fact we need a revision to the rules. As I see it right now the first GT40s were produced in 1964 and the written rules do not list it as illegal for the class.

OK guys I'm old and can't remember......
Are Ford GT40s still eligible for the Classic Sports Car Div.I Class?
Wikipedia shows production years from 1964 to 1969.
"The Ford GT40 was first raced in May 1964 at the Nürburgring 1000 km race where it retired with suspension failure after holding second place early in the event.

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".

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!

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
