Racers, looking for some feedback on a couple proposed race ideas for early December. Patrick Hurley is hoping to put on a race in either Springfield at Pelican Park or in Salem on the old Junction City track. Portland racers could possibly car pool down for a race? Let us know what you think!
"Just wondering, If we had a Hard body Nascar race at Pelican Park on a Saturday in early December, do you think we would get any guys from the Portland area ??" - Patrick Hurley
"FYI, The owner of the Junction City track, which is now located in Salem , Said he was interested in hosting a race in late November or early December, think we would run 4"flexi LMP/ GTP. Hawk 7 motor or the Hawk 7 BB, Jk chassis or Champion Turbo must have front wheels that function, not flipped up. Located in SE Salem would have it on a Saturday. Probably run this instead of a Hard body race @ Pelican Park. Do you think any of the Portland guys would be interested? It's a fast track. Most of us really enjoyed it." - Patrick Hurley
I stopped by Tim's place yesterday to check on his track progress. He has all the braiding done and has started on the wiring. I helped him get the yellow lane running with a couple temporary connections. I ran the first complete laps on the track with a Flexi and a Thunderslot McLaren. This is going to be a very nice track!
Thanks for opening up Bob! Although we did not have a lot of participation, it was still agreat time! Even with his first few laps at The Gorge, Mike sure showed he is an up and comer!
The driver's meeting took place just before the start of the race:
An impressive starting grid!
The pit area was evidence of the preparation by the racers!
The season opened with a great event! I captured a few photos at the race.
I'm not sure what kind of plans Kirk has for chassis production. I do know this design works very well!
The 2024-2025 Slot Car racing season is underway. The 2024 edition of The Patriot 500 at Springwater Raceway is in the books. The format this year consisted of a mixed group of hardbody NASCAR classes from PASER, OSCAR and NWTS. All cars were raced together and scored in one of 2 groups: Angle winder or Inline. Each group was scored separately, with the first 3 places in each group receiving an award plaque. The highest lap total overall received a separate plaque. Springwater Raceway always provides close racing, unexpected circumstances and just some plain old bad luck. A BIG thank you to those who came from Seattle WA, Eugene OR and Bend Or. Along with a dedicated local group of racers. Thank you, Cap’t Kirk, for doing Tech and assisting as race director. A total of 17 racers competed on a 6 lane rotation, with 4 minute heats. Each racer had 48 minutes of track time. Captain Chaos won the Racers Choice Award for his #28 Havoline Thunderbird. And now….. The Results:
ANGLE WINDER Class:

Results from the Spt. 5th race:
Tom Street's OSCAR race for the Clubman Class is coming up in October. Practice is Friday October 18th, with the race on Saturday October 19th. I am staying overnight on Friday, and have made my reservation to stay at Sugarloaf Mountain Motel. I have one empty seat in the Jeep for anyone looking for a ride to the race. First come first serve.
This bank is the same radius, and has the same degree of banking as Inslot's Checkered Flag.
This will be the more challenging end of the track!
Made a trip to Tim's to check on the TNT track progress. There is some color down and Tim was touching up some of the braid recess routing. The track circuit is complete and Tim is making excellent progress! I'm looking forward to geting some laps in on this beauty!
