A group of 9 racers came for some fun, Food, fellowship and some very close racing. The pits were buzzing with activity before the race. Practice, prep work, tuning, repairing and some sales were all part of the experience. Thanks Rob, for your continued hard work and preparing a fast, clean track surface which provided some spectacular crashes and some of the closest and best racing to date. 3 different winners got to put a hashmark on the coveted Weener Winner Cup.

Bryan is always one of those guys to try and beat! It's best to sneak up on him when his eyes are closed!
This is just one reason Bryan is so hard to beat, attention to detail!
Mike is another one of those guys at the top. Not only has he become one of the faster drivers, his chassis building skills have become top notch!

This race has been CANCELLED! - Apologies for the short notice but I have scheduled a 4" flexi LeMans race for March 21 at Tom's World Raceway in Bend, the "24 Hours of Chaos".
This race is open to any steel 4 inch flexi chassis--Parma, Champion, JK, Mossetti, etc. Body type is to be that of a Lemans prototype that actually raced at 24 Hours of LeMans at any point in history, as long as it was a closed-wheel car. Motor is to be Hawk 7 only. Since a lot of these Lexan bodies are nowhere near close facsimiles of what they're actually supposed to be, car owners should be prepared to explain what car their body represents, and what year it raced at LeMans during tech inspection.
Cars will be run by teams of 2 persons. Teams will be somewhat randomly determined by drawing names out of a hat. Our local "B" drivers (our beginner group) and anyone coming over the hill who has never raced at Tom's will be pulling the names of our "90's" drivers (our fastest group), in an attempt to make all the teams fairly even. Anyone from over the hill who has prior track time at Tom's will be drawing the names of one of the local "A" racers (our middle group). In the event that both racers own a 4 inch flexi chassis, it is up to the teammates to choose whose car to race.
There will be no qualifying; starting order will be random. Heats will be 6 minutes long and each teammate will rotate though the lanes 3 times, alternating each time their car is on track. I'm borrowing rules from OSCAR in that cars will go into impound after tech inspection and whenever the car isn't actively racing. Teams' cars may not be worked on while their car is in impound. The "2 minutes before, 2 minutes after" rule for working on cars will be in effect.
Open practice is 4-8pm Friday, March 20th and Tom's opens at 8am on race day. Hopefully we can be racing by 10am. Race entry is $15 per person. Lunch provided by Captain Chaos at halfway point of race (3 rounds). Awards for each driver (2 per car) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place, and hard luck and 1 best appearing car award.....to the owner of the car voted "best appearing". Hopefully that covers all of my bases, since this is the first race I've ever attempted hosting. And a very special thank you to Tom Street at Tom's World Raceway for graciously allowing me to hold this experimental event.
Hope to see you there,
Chris aka Captain Chaos

The Spare Time Raceway track is one of the oldest club tracks still operating in the Northwest, only Pelican Park has been in service longer. Spare Time Raceway is still in exceptional condition! No one would even guess it has been around for over 26 years!
The diorama scenes around the track are very cool!

Hey y'all,
I am starting plans for PASER the Can Am race scheduled for April 25th here at Inslot's Checkered Flag. Some feedback from Saturday's Sportsman race would help me a lot with my plan. I sent out an email to those that I have email addresses for. If you didn't get it that means I don't have an email address for you!
How did the doors open time of 9am work for you?
How was the race starting time of 10:30am for you?
What did you think of the 3 round race format, with 4 minute heats?
What did you think of the random starting line up for the first round, followed by me setting the line up for the final two rounds?
We finished up around 5:00pm. What time would you prefer as a race end time?
As far as the race schedule, how do you think the race one round, break 1 hour for lunch, and then race the remaining 2 rounds worked out?
Any suggestions for the April 25th Can Am race?
Thank you for taking the time to help me out with this!
