Al said he was going to work on a schedule. He also said we may postpone one more race before starting points, which I don't have a problem with since people are still getting cars together.

I am in for the 24.......
Stand, I agree he is sometimes frustrating with rule changes and such. But you have admit the cars ran very equally across the board with those tires in play!

I had a great time at the race as well. Even though I didn't have too much luck in the racing portion. I think everything turned out to be pretty equal in both cars and teams.
Stan really drove well in the Trans am and Mini car portion of the day, which helped them secure the overall win!
It was also nice to hear how well praised our club group C cars were, everyone enjoyed racing them. Except Rico, he was the only one who got a raw deal on that race, but drove well in all the others!
I have a couple pics I will try and get up here in a while!

Zack, a few questions:
1) Do I need to bring car(s)?
2) What's the address of your shop, and could I carpool with you?
3) What time do you expect to be back in Portland?I have permission to participate...so I'm ready to go!
Stan
Stan, you dont need to bring any other than something you may like to run for fun. We should have enough gfx cars to go around.
I am hoping to leave up there around 5. Be back in town by 8.
Shop adress is 13339 ne airport way. Suite #500.
Carpooling should be no problem!

Alright guys, this race is happening THIS WEEKEND.
I was hoping for a better turnout from our side, but I think there will be enough people in attendance to have some good fun racing. I got a couple GFX cars, ready to go, and AL also has a few to bring to along.
I am planning on leaving my shop right by the Portland airport around 7:30am on Saturday, I should have room for a couple passengers if you would like to carpool.
Hope to see you there!

Well my Thunderslot M6 was still running 5.9-6.0's after the racing was over, so I don't think they are quite on that level Doc. They were however some of the most fun heats I have had there, running door to door with you for over a minute was awesome!
I was pretty worried I was going to get my butt kicked by one of you guys, especially Rico, He was on fire with that car!
Great time as usual, Al is always a gracious host.
Thanks for the race report Bill!

Rico, thats the beauty of it. We only have to bring the groupc cars. They are bringing all of the cars they race. We all get a taste of whats out there without worrying about rules.

Me and that red lane were getting along nicely. I set the Track record bar as high as I could!
Rico, you missed out on the touring cars but they were great. Even the slower ones were very nice to drive.

Al, the only revision to the Div.II Class is the eligible years (revision 1965) to 1976, and the rear wheel width of 8mm matches the max. tire contact patch width (same language as used in the Div.I rules).
Bill, are we going to run some kind of grace period on swapping the cars over? Just curious as next week these cars are on the schedule to be raced.
I have ordered some different wheels and tires for classic 2, but I feel in general the cars will be a little slower with a narrower wheel. So I want to know what to bring!

Rules for event are as follows:
Scaleracing Trans-am rules:
Handout Slip-on tires are available
Stock gearing of 11/38
Prototype cars can be run with the above gearing, but if performance difference is noted we will score them separately. There should be plenty of cars to go around.
Scaleracing BRM Mini-cars:
Trued tires allowed, otherwise completely stock.
Policar f1:
Aluminum rear wheels and slip on F22 tires
No weight
Screw tuning etc allowed.
NASTE club car rules:
Class 16 - Sportscar Era Class - Ground Effect Era (GFX)
Ground Effect Era (GFX) - Full fendered sportscars from 1981 through 1993 which ran in FIA, IMSA, or SCCA sanctioned events. Any motors (23k limit), tires, driveline configuration, or chassis material may be used. Bodies must be injection molded or resin cast and not vacuum molded. Thunderslot brand RTR cars are NOT eligible for this class, but their driveline components (wheels, axles, gears, tires) and guide assembly may be used for tuning
Typical car for this class is a prepared Slot.it Group C car.
I have been working on this with Alan for some time. The goal here is to have a format in which we all can race without the problematic differences in club rulesets. It is not perfect, nor can it be and make everyone happy. I selected the GFX sports car class for us to bring along, as I feel most of us have well performing versions of this car. I know Al has three.
I wanted to keep it to a 1 day bang, so we packed the day with some exciting races I think everyone will enjoy. The Enduro specifically will be Trans am and mini cars combined. I think overall, it will be a blast!
If you can make it, please let me know, as we will be gauging interest in the event to make sure appropriate time and cars are available. I am more than willing to provide a vehicle with which to car pool I can take at least 3 passengers along.
