I am with you Bill on the Bluegroove bodies. I am also glad that you are moving forward on the PASER racing. PASER has been around for a long time, and I will support the PASER racing at Checkered Flag whenever I can.

Looks like a fun time with a good turnout. I don't have a car for that class and couldn't make the race anyway as the wife and I went to celebrate two birthdays up in Washougal yesterday. If you are going to put these cars on the schedule to be raced at least a couple times a season, I will build one.

Here is a chassis block that I made many, many years ago while still working and had access to the machine shop at Warn Industries. Made of aluminum, 3/8" thick, 4.5" wide X 9.5" long. 1/4" squares machined in. I could use 1/8" or 3/32" axles by moving the posts.

This was a very laid-back and fun night of messing with Halloween themed slot cars. If you are looking for a fun event, this is the one. For the people who missed this race for one reason or another, you definitely missed out on a fun night................and food and candy etc. I heard talks of discontinuing this event for lack of interest, that would be a shame in my opinion.
