I'm one of those guys that doesn't care for digital racing. I have enough trouble with just throttle control and the lane change thing just detracts from the whole racing experience for me. When I have run in digital events I usually just stay in one lane unless I absolutely have to move into the other lane. I like to participate in 1/32, 1/24 and even HO races, so I just don't need yet another fraction in my hobby. I think digital is great for those that enjoy it, but I have so many different events I want to attend this coming year, I just don't see being able to add anymore. Thanks for the invite Doc, but I'm going to have to pass.

I believe this is an old photo taken at Tom Street's track in Bend? I saw this photo hanging on the wall at Pelican Park in Eugene.

The walls of the Pelican Park facility are covered with posters and photos. Here's some pictures of photos I saw from earlier times:

I'm assuming this photo was taken not too long after the track was purchased and moved to Eugene from Portland. You can see Doug Haynes with the hat on, in the center of the crowd.

A tribute to the MESAC slot club of California. MESAC was THE slot car club in the 60's. They built and raced on a beautifully detailed, routed track that featured replaceable sections to alter the course/layout.

Pelican Park is a challenging, fun track with beautiful diorama. You rarely see 1/24 routed tracks with this kind of detail! It makes the racing even more fun!

Doug Haynes was one of the founders of Pelican Park. As well as an accomplished slot car builder and racer, Doug was an outstanding modeller. Some of his slot car builds are on display at Pelican Park and pictured below.

I was invited by Bob McFarland and Stuart Wall, to join them in a trip down to Eugene Oregon to participate in some Wednesday night racing with the Racing Rebels gang at pelican Park. How could I say no? We arrived at approximately 5:00 pm, early enough to get in some practice, and it was obvious I needed some practice! The racers at Pelican Park use a heat race elimination style of racing, very similar to what is used at the local dirt tracks. 50 lap heat races are used to set up semi finals, consolation races, and main event races, as well as a unique to Pelican Park bracket for the less than fastest racers. This lowest bracket is what the Racing Rebels call the Hooligans. An aptly named and appropriate bracket of racers! The bracket I can claim as my own with a third place finish. Ultimately what Pelican Park offers a slot racer is some outrageously fun and exciting racing, with a group of friendly competitive guys, and some good food! The apple pie in particular was delicious! I had a great time and I'd like to thank everyone for the hospitality! A special thanks to Bob and Stuart for letting me tag along!

Here's some photos of Pelican Park:
