Raceday at The Gorge Raceway: The GT Prototype cars took the track with 7 racers prepared for an afternoon of racing, fellowship and snacks. The "sprint" race formula is 2 rounds of racing and today the heats were 4 minutes long. Fresh off a Thursday night battle at Rapid Raceway, the racers were ready to go at it again. Each race held at The Gorge is showing more racers getting familiar with the nuances of the track and are getting faster and more consistent. It's nice to see racers helping each other with setup and driving tips and it's paying off. Thank you for all for coming out today. Here's the final results:
Place / Name / Laps / Fast time
1st:  Racerbob          336       5.125
2nd: Steven Ennis     324       5.413

Thanks for the excellent write up about the race. I really appreciate all you do for our local group of racers.

The first Odd Monday for the month of November proved to be question of how we got there and how we would get home. The evening was blustery and wet and everyone was thankful the power stayed on so we had lights and heat. 7 racers braved the cold and rain to spend time on Rob's fast and tight layout to race, eat hot dogs and chips. With a shortage of 1/32 production cars for the third race of the evening, it was decided to race the Womps first and complete the evening with the blazing quick 4 inch Flexi cars.
Bryan Trachsel roared his way back into local club racing scene with a bang. He picked up his first Weener Winner Point on the trophy, as did newer racer Bill Henry. Gerry and Kona returned as Gerry had some health challenges that kept him away from racing.....Welcome back guys. After a fun evening of racing, only one question remained.......how do we get home without a life raft.
The final results for the evening. (Ties were broken by total lap time.)

Womps:

1.Bill Henry     157
2. Bob N.        154

The Gorge Raceway hosted the Can Am class cars from PASER and NWTS for a Saturday afternoon sprint race shootout. 10 racers turned out to take on the technically challenging Gorge Raceway layout with Dennis (DC Dynamo) Cook making the trek from Seattle Washington to test his skill against our local group of racers. The racing consisted of 2 rounds with 4 minute heats. 32 minutes of track time for each racer provided ample time to provide some extremely close side by side racing and the final results reflected that close racing. Bill Bostic posted the fastest lap of the race with a lap of 4.969 seconds and the only driver to post a sub 5 second lap. Thanks to Bill Bostic who brought Tater-tots, Chicken nuggets and Corn Dog nuggets and to all those who brought cookies, chips and snacks to provide plenty of energy for racing. A  BIG THANK YOU, for all the racer's support so we can have local club racing.

This edition of the annual “Dale Earnhardt Memorial” at Tom’s World Raceway will be remembered by all who attended. 15 racers came to test each one’s skill on the fast and technical track layout. It was a day of excellent side by side racing, spectacular crashes, (with a lot of flying parts and one flying car, mine), gear failures (more than anyone cared to count), an injured driver, happened before the race and great food provided by Susan. There was even a little controversy which was caused by human error. This race had it all.
The race started with qualifying, followed by setting the starting positions for the Xfinity group and the Cup group, the fastest group. The Xfinity class was supposed to run 4-minute heats, 4 times through but an error had racers going 3 times through. It was spotted too late to make a change, so the race was completed with 3 rotations. The cup race went off as planned with 4 rotations. The race had 8 racers in each event. The winner of the Xfinity race moved up to the Cup race to make 8 racers in that event. Thank you, Tom and Susan, for another successful race event.
Fast qualifier: Monster Mayea – 7.2774132
Xfinity race winner: Nikki Johnson 327 laps. (Stew Meat moved up to the Cup main: 336 laps)
Cup winner: Curtious Curt – 484 laps.
Best Appearing Car: #28 black/silver Monte Carlo.

Scheduling can be a challenging thing to navigate with this many tracks to race at, I am planning a track owners meeting sometime in June. I am waiting until Bill Bostic gets home. I will send out an email or text as soon as I can after I talk to Bill. It will be all 4 of us track owners to prevent scheduling races at the same time. I know you don't care about the OSCAR races, but those can impact the schedule too. Bob Hanna is has scheduled a special OSCAR race on September 27th at Sparetime Raceway in Roseburg. Looking forward to getting together and getting the schedule worked out.

It was a warm spring night for the PASER Monday race at Rob's Redline Raceway. A total of 8 racers spread out over 3 classes of cars provided a fun night of close racing. As racers get accustomed to Rob's tight but very fast track layout, the list has started to grow of contenders for the win. The lap totals are getting tighter and tighter together. There was some great side by side racing tonight. Thanks Rob for providing the venue, developing new friendships and providing great pizza and most importantly.......a fun time. First up were the increasingly fun and competitive Womps, followed the the blazing fast 4 inch Flexi's and the night completed with the Open Production class. 3 PASER Weener Winner points were up for grabs. Bob N. won the Womp and 4 inch Flexi races and Mike Guthrie led the way in the open production race.

I get it about getting your season done by the end of May, I question scheduling 4 races with 2 Saturdays in May. That does not leave much for the rest of us to schedule anything without completely overloading the calendar. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Bill for the excellent coverage of the race. I will never forget how fun this event was to put on and race in. A win is just icing on the cake.

The OSCAR Sportscars returned to Springwater Raceway for the first time since November 2022.
19 racers came from not only the Portland / Vancouver vicinity, bur also from Bend, OR, Roseburg, OR and Seatle WA. Bob Hanna, owner of Sparetime Raceway in Roseburg, OR made the trek to participate and renew some old friendships. Kirk Smith, a local legend, provided his tech savvy and performed the duties of tech inspector and co-race director. It takes a team of people to pull a race with off with the nuances and challenges of utilizing all 8 lanes of Springwater Raceway. This was the first attempt to race on all 8 lanes since the track opened in 2019. With 19 racers, the group is divided into the “A” main and “B” main.
Qualifying, a 1-minute session with the fastest lap recorded for each racer determined which main event the racer would participate in. The race director would split the field in half. The starting position for each racer is chosen from the fastest time to the slowest time in each group. 10 racers would compete in the “B” main, and the winner would have to opportunity to move up the “A” main. The “A” main would consist of 10 racers competing for the overall win. The race consisted of 2 rounds of racing for each racer in both the “A” and “B” mains.
Each racer would have 64 minutes of drive time, except for the “B” main winner. That racer would have 128 minutes of drive time.  Bob Hanna, who won the “B” main, moved up to the “A” main. The Stig, Aka Michael Mitchell, was awarded the “B” main win. Both mains had close racing, bad crashes, cars flying off the track and broker racecars, then…….the power went out during the “B” main and everything came to a screeching halt and a dark, dead race program. What to do? Eat……. The group moved from the dark racetrack to a dining area with windows and we all ate lunch. The power came back on just as we were finishing lunch. Back to racing!!!!! Except, the prior unfinished race was lost. Every effort was made to bring it back. Nothing worked. It was decided to run 1 round to determine the “B” main winner. The “A” main went off as planned and the race was completed by 5pm. Plaques were awarded for 1st through 4th in each of the mains, fast qualifier, and racer’s choice.
The hard luck, to bad for you, bummer award was a choice of rear tires for having such misfortune and trials.
The results:
Fast qualifier: Tom Street – 5.309
“B” main winner: Bob Hanna 321.2 laps
“A” main winner: NakNak, Bob N. 659.9 laps
Racer’s Choice: Bob N. – White Enzo Ferrari
Hard Luck award: Bill Henry.
Thank you are strong enough, words, for how much I appreciate each and every person involved with this event.

The first running of the PASER, GT-1 / Group C class, at the Gorge Raceway was a success. Nine racers and Doug, who came to observe and help corner marshal, came to have an afternoon of fun, snacks and a little racing to see if this is a possible class to be added in the future. The close racing and a variety of different cars made the event even more enjoyable. Thank you all for coming. The final results had places 3 through 8 separated by only 8 laps. Now that's some close racing!  Now......The final results:

Nine racers and Doug, who came to observe and help corner marshal, came to have an afternoon of fun, snacks and a little racing to see if this is a possible class to be added in the future. The close racing and a variety of different cars made the event even more enjoyable. Thank you all for coming. The final results had places 3 through 8 separated by only 8 laps. Now that's some close racing!  Now......The final results:
