Vacation is over....and I think I'm about over the creepin' crud', so it's back to work on the track. This morning I started laying the braid back down. Most of the braid was still in really good shape so I will just re-glue those pieces back down to the track surface. Although I have done this before it has been awhile so I thought I'd research what type of cement the pro track builders are using now. What I found was most pro track builders are are either using a newer 1/4" double sided 3M tape product, or the old tried and true contact cement. I contacted Bob Scott, a southern California track builder and he recommended using DAP Contact Cement. He said he had tried other products but this contact cement still gives him the best results.
I picked up some small brushes for applying the glue. A cut down the brush so it was closer to the width of the braid recess on the track. I figure the less of a mess I make applying the glue, the less clean up I will have.
Yeah between the weather and sickness here at home, it just didn't play out this year.
Sadly, I am cancelling my Fray trip for this year.

Welcome to the group Zack, it is a pleasure racing with you!
Geeeeezeee Rico, we just got back late last night and really sorry to hear about that! So glad you are OK and recovering!
Thanks Stuart!
My plan is to host racers for the OSCAR series as well as the local PASER racers. In addition I will host races for the Rapid Raceway guys and NASTE. I plan to keep the track busy!
4:13 A.M......ALOHA y'all!
ANYTHING but a damn AC Cobra is a good pick!
I made a couple edits in the rules pertaining to the GT Class, and that it has been superseded by the Sportscar Era Classes. Under Class 2 - GT you will be directed to refer to classes 15 through 17 for the current rules. I hope this will provide some clarification.
More photos from Paul Kassens:
Thank you to Paul Kassens (Old Weird Herald) for these great photos and information:
"2004 InSlot Raceway / Checkered Flag OSCAR Club Track - Portland Oregon. A visit during 2004 USRA Div 2 Nats week at Raceway USA. Track owner Kirk Smith, "Bad Bob" McFarland, & local hotshot James Laconto, all from Portland. Paul Kassens & Craig Rieland from Seattle, with visitors Paul Sterret and the late Monty "Big O" Ohren up from SoCal... all took some hot laps with 1/24 Hard Body cars on the custom built 4 lane club track."
The track was originally built and located at Kirk Smith's house in Milwaukie Oregon.
This is the original configuration of the curves leading onto the main straight.
I used to feel that way about the original unpainted cars, being concerned about "collector" value. But I have finally come to realize pretty much ANY old car is available on Ebay at some point in perfect original condition! So what the hell....paint the thing!
One class Bob is going to be introducing for this track is 1980's NASCAR bodies on Econo chassis. I think this will be a fun class!
Chris only does "other" colors by special request!..........AND bribing!
New lights have been installed and preparations are being made for upcoming races!
I received the latest update from Bob Nakamura yesterday. Test laps have been run on Springwater Raceway!
And for good reason Rico! You have a good one!..............I refuse to buy another one!!!
Interesting.......looks like you can use it to saw 1/32 scale lumber also!
This is Zack's Classic Sports Car Div.II winning Slot.it Ford GT40. This car is totally awesome!...Oh yeah, paint by Chris Kouba!
