Re: Open House & Open Track - Saturday April 27th (16 replies, posted in InSlot's Checkered Flag Raceway)
Hello Y'all,
The open house for my shop and slot car track (Bob McFarland's track which was recently moved to my place) is NEXT Saturday April 27th!
Doors will be open at 9:00AM and will stay open until 11:00PM, or the last person decides to leave.
PM me if you need the address.
We will be serving hot dogs, snacks, and drinks. I am not sure of what the turn out will be, so if you would like to bring along a snack, drink, or side dish to share that would be awesome, but not required.
In addition, Bob Nakamura will be opening his new 8 lane 1/24 hill climb track in southeast Portland at 2:00PM. The track will be open for running and testing.
PM me if you need the address for Bob's new track.
Hope to see you all next Saturday!

It really was a lot of fun! The action is quite a bit faster than the 1/32 cars we are currently racing, but not crazy fast like the neo traction magnet type cars.

Topic: Racing with HOPAC in Portland at Riverside Raceway (11 replies, posted in HOPAC)
Dave Ferguson invited me to a HOPAC race to be held on Andre Perra's Riverside Raceway in northwest Portland. Dave offered to loan me a car and controller, so how could I say no? Upon arrival I found a large number of competitors in Andre's beautifully accentuated race room, all ready to go it! I arrived early enough to get in some practice laps and quickly realized the car Dave loaned me was just flat awesome! I really like the G-Jet platform developed by Gary Beedle of BSRT. The cars are extremely fast but unlike the heavy magnet downforce cars, they still require some finesse to get them through the corners quickly.
The racing was exciting to say the least, but what impressed me more was how friendly and helpful everyone was. In addition to Dave loaning me one of his cars another racer, whose name I totally forgot and I apologize, loaned me his DiFalco controller for the race. As well as great racing on a very nice track, Andre provided lunch for everyone. Andre told me this was the last race to be held on this particular track as the track was being replaced by a newer version of his Riverside Raceway.
For me this was an awesome day. My years in the slot car hobby started with an Aurora HO slot car set and racing and collecting HO cars. When I was young I would read about the southern Californian legends like Gary Beedle, Dave Ferguson, Andre Perra, and Bryan Henden. Here I was in the same room with them, it just doesn't get much better!
So a big thanks to Dave Ferguson for getting me there, and to Andre Perra for putting on such a fantastic event!
