Bill,
Thanks for organizing the McFarland Memorial Track tour and thanks for the write-up. It was really interesting to see that the H-Bracket (Big Wheel) cars were more than competitive with the OSCAR rides. Note that the top four finishers entered Big Wheel Cars. I know the comparison was not perfect because many of the OSCAR racers were not locals with track knowledge.
Thanks to Bob and Cheryl Hanna for hosting a great event. Results have been posted on Slotblog. See the link http://slotblog.net/topic/84182-oscar-v … -on-41418/
Spare Time Raceway (STR) is a private track owned and operated by Bob Hanna. The track is located in a modest sized shop in Roseburg, Oregon. The four lane wood routed track is a tight and technical course with lane length of about 90 feet and 4.5 inch lane spacing. With the exception of the banked turn, all turns have an inner lane radius of only eight inches. The track is finished with black epoxy paint and powered by two, 12 volt deep cycle batteries. Driver
