Ok, traffic just sucked on Thursday  took me two hours to make the trip from Canby to Al. Normal drive is 30 min.  So not sure if that was a factor in the low turn out or not. We just had enough  to corner and race wo 5 brave souls  fighting portland traffic. Up 1st was Lemans  and it was a fight cat fight all down the running order with Doc taking the win followed  by Al then Rico. Up next was the revo  slots, different cars same results.and finally we had open and Doc pulled out the broom and went for the sweep with Greg taking a hard earned  2nd followed  by Rico. Al had a really fast car but one forced off and putting the wrong lane sticker cost him dearly.. next time up it will be trans am and the madden  race for the slot it dtm cars. These is going to a very interesting  race do to the fact that are so even and so little tuning to be done. Going come down to who ever can stay clean and in the slot.

It rumble  in the Basement  to night. The weather  heating up and the racing on the track also Revo Slot and Lemans on the menu  tonight.

I figured out after the racing was over that my controller was not always returning all the way causing some consistency issues. I need to get a new handle to repair it properly as I'm not convinced the repair I performed last night is going to last.

Nay you just need some 14 gage wire.?(the stuff from Germany is the best) some 100 mph tape. 4 self tapping screws and  medical grade Goss  all and if that still doesn't  fix a ten bound hammer.

Ok now, looks like wecare starting to get racers showing up for the odd Thursday  program.  Had 8 racers  make it out to do battle on Al's  track. The racing  for the most part was very close throughout  the night  with who could stay in the slot would come out on top.  Up 1st for the night we're the Scalextric  gt3 cars. Doc green machine was on rails and three mistake free heats gave him a win over the field. The battle down the field were tight and ferice with very little quarter  given. When the dust had settled  Al took the 2nd step on the podium  followed  by Rico. Up next was the Money race and nobody had anything for Doc big v10 Viper with him once again standing on the top step with once again taking second Rico 3rd.last race of the night was open and same story line with Doc only having on track issue early in the 1st heat. AL had  a chance he was up one tenth after his 1st heat but the pressure got to him and to many forced off  pushing hard to make time cost him the win..  that was it for the night rest was test and tune on racers revo's trying to find more speed.  For race results forthcoming. All in all it was a great night of racing..ta and sports car one are on for the next odd Thursday  see you all then.

I dug out a few gt3 that had been sitting un used since the track tear down  2 years ago and not good news. All the cars that urethane  tires on them. The tires turned to goo. Three others that were shoed with nsr rubber turned rock hard so only three out of about 15 had good tires on them so that's all I could round up beside my normal two back up Mercedes  just one more reason I need to get the garage  cleaned up and a track built..

Well it is looking like it's going to be GT kind of night with gt3 and gt revoslots being the cars racing.. going to have our own mini Bathurst  12 hour gt race. So mates grap you self a Foster's and come do battle..

Yep was lots of fun. MR Bill would of sweep the classes  if not for a broken lead wire on the womp. That thing was fast. Only running a few tenths off what the flex cars were running. He was seen locking it up in the pit box to keep prying eyes and cameras  away from finding his tuning secrets. Rumor is nothing makes up for big horse power...

Well little late but it was a light turn out with most guys going to the swap meet  instead  of racing but Bob made it work and it turned out to a fun night with plenty of track time to be had. Thanks for getting the race in. Next stop is across  the River at Robs

Been missing your great smile and smooth  driving skills at the track there  Montie hope you can start making that great drive out on odd Thursday  to grace us with your  presence...

Well we had a good turn out even with a few die hands not making it out. The racing was great all night lot of side by side racing. Al has taken over duec duties  after finishing  2nd in all the races. I'm glad to be able to hand that duty down to him I held the crown for far to long. long live the new Duec.

That is slippery  slope that once we get on there no getting off it.. we could use that logic  for a bunch of cars if we decided  that. So I'm thinking   no..

What time did you all finish  up at. I almost  came over after my work but figured  you all most likely  were done or close to it. Would of been around 4pm

The revo slots cars were fun and The racing was very close. A few less offs and it would of been much closer than the final results showed. There were lots of side  to side racing  lap  after  lap before   some tried  to get that little extra  and either  tipped out or used the old saying 8 tires are better than 4.
