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.

Don't you guys dare team up! We won't stand a chance!

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.

This is Dave Ferguson of HO fame. I first met Dave at the Western States HO Race in Kent Washington in 1988. Dave builds some of the most beautiful, concours winning HO slot cars to have ever lapped a track!

Gary raced with my son on a team at one of the Porsche 962 Enduro races at Rapid Raceway a few years ago. Great guy and an excellent racer!

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!
