The June 9th race at Rob's Redline Raceway officially closed out the PASER 2025 racing season. Although it was pretty hot at the track, we had a good turn out of racers. Rob had large fans in place to circulate the air, which made a huge difference in comfort for the participants!
The track was open for practice at 3:00 pm. Rob pprovided us all with a good pizza dinner and plenty of drinks before the racing began. The grid for the first race was set at approximately 5:00 pm. First class of cars to hit the track were the Womps. Right out of the gate, Bob Nak showed he was going to be tough to beat. Bob laid down some fast and consistent laps, with his best lap total hitting 42. Bill Henry kept Bob in sight, but fell just short of Bob's totals, finishing just 4 laps behind Bob. Rob was third, 5 laps down from Bill H.
Womp results:
1st Bob N. 159 laps
2nd Bill H. 155
3rd Rob 150
4th Mike G. 147
5th Bill 147
6th Doc 141

After we had finished the Womp race, and were all in full race mode, we brought out our Flexi class cars. The Flexi cars are super fast on the Redline Raceway circuit! Bob Nak was again the guy to beat! As it turned out, Bob gave us all a severe spanking in this race! The next four spots were 8 plus laps back. The only racers that came close to Bob were Rob and Bill Henry.
Flexi Class race results:
1st Bob N. 193 laps

The last race of the night was for the new Open Production Class. Based on production 1/32 plastic hard body cars, this class is becoming quite popular. Doc, Bob, and Mike are very good at prepping these types of cars for competition. I was lucky enough to have Mike loan me one of his race spec cars. The car was awesome,.......me, not so much! Bob closed out the night by completing the sweep! However this race proved to be more of a challenge for him! Bob took the thrid win but, Doc was only one lap behind him. Rob and Mike tied for third, both were running one of Mike's well prepped cars.
Open Production race results:
1st Bob N. 164 laps
2nd Doc 163
3rd Rob 156
4th Mike 156

The 2025 PASER season has been fun for me! Racing at Rob's on Mondays has been growing in popularity. Redline Raceway is very well suited to the three classes Rob has chosen to race there! Womps and Flexis are fast and smooth on the circuit. The new Open production class has surprised me with the performance of the cars! Doc, Mike, and Bob currently have these cars out performing the Womps! Which makes me wonder if we need to open up the Womp Class rules a bit (a little personal bias)?
Anyway, I hope everybody has a great summer! Don't forget, there is always NASTE racing at Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway located in Al's awesomely cool, cool basement hang out through the summer! Also, keep an eye out for possible "special" summer events!
