Topic: Current Rotation for classes (1 replies, posted in Pelican Park)
I wanted to post a current rotation for Pelican Park so everyone knows what classes are being ran in case anyone would like to make the trip down to race there. They currently are racing every Wednesday and there is no stoppage in their program. Majority of their classes consist of running a standard 16D motor as opposed to the S16d with the exception of their Big Nascar class. If I am not mistaken all of their classes consist of the "Oscar " or Hannah style chassis
- GTO
- Tourist Trophy Class ( last of the big 50's era front engine roadsters such as Chapparal 1, lister jag, Aston Martin DBR1, Ferrari Testa Rossa, Maserati 450 etc.
- Big Nascar
- Clubman and lights
- Jalopy
- Monza open wheel
- Vintage Nascar
- Can-am
- Dirt Devil
- Gran sport
- Super stock
- Trans Am
The next race on the schedule for 6/17 will be Super Stock

Great set up. I am looking forward to running some laps on his track. Looks like it will be very quick which will make for some great side by side racing but also equate to equally great crashes

Topic: 4/21 open track day success (1 replies, posted in Freedom Raceway)
I would like to say thank you to everyone that came out to run some tracks and help further break in Freedom Raceway. Over the course of the evening there was over 1800 laps made and it finally began to show signs of rubber being laid down. The track consists of an Enamel low-lustre paint which gives it more of a grainy texture and with the track being newer it almost seems as if the glue is soaking into the wood but we did see as the night went on the cars began to get quicker and made for some fun side by side action which the 4.5" lane spacing definitely allowed for. Most cars were in the 3.50-4.00 lap time range depending on the style car which last night there was a fair share of every class being ran to get an idea of what might suit this lay out the best. The main comparison for this track was that its a mini spring water. We did learn last night there will be plenty of pit space for everyone and I have set up the garage to have access to any tools that might be needed as well.
I will do my best to try and set up a few track days this spring/summer and look forward to having everyone over for some races this next race season.

I would love to find a way to get thicker bodies for the 4.5" so it allows for us to have longevity on them. Over all while it was a small crowd it was still a great time. Looking forward to progressing the 4.5" class.

Re: slot car swap meet (11 replies, posted in Cars)
I would like some feedback on when would be a good time to arrange this. I know we are starting to wind down on our race season so would this be more beneficial to take place after the race season comes to an end or just a random Saturday in between races?

Topic: slot car swap meet (11 replies, posted in Cars)
Im not sure if this is the right area to post this in but I was curious what everyone's thoughts would be on Meeting up at one of our tracks and having a " slot car swap meet " bring our cars that are collecting dust or model kits or anything that may draw interest and have a track day while doing swapping, buying, trading, selling etc.
maybe have a lunch as well.
Let me know thoughts on this

Re: New Track in Beaverton! (7 replies, posted in Freedom Raceway)
Jim,
Thank you Bob Scott did an excellent job on this. I am letting this season finish and hopefully will be able to be a part of track owners meetings to find a time that will be suitable for everyone to have some races. I am currently unsure what classes will be ran but I will make sure its classes that are already in circulation so no new cars are needing to be built. I hope to hold a few open houses this spring/summer to let people come over and have a bbq or something.

Re: New Track in Beaverton! (7 replies, posted in Freedom Raceway)
Thank you Bill for the write up and also coming to assist with assemble and teaching me the glue technique. This has been a fun addition thus far and looking forward to holding multiple races and having a good time. I will be looking into having a parts selection available as well to help racers have what they need to build cars.
One quick story I have which shows why I love this hobby:
Yesterday for Easter was a beautiful day so I had the garage door open and had the kids running cars on the track when a Neighbor walked by and heard the sound of winding motors and decided to take a look and realized it was a slot car track. After a little conversation he asked if he could show his son and grand children and I said absolutely. About 10 minutes went by and he comes back with the other 3 and holding an older Parma tool box with a flexi 2 lexan car sporting the ever so fast Pink endbell 16d motor. It took me a few minutes to put new braids and new tires on it and it ran like brand new so I let the son and grand kids run it around a few laps then decided to put a controller in each of their hands and put my "go-Karts" on the track so all 4 of them could race together. The smiles on their face and the laughs that were had made it worth every penny. I took a few pictures for them to have as an Easter memory and who knows we may have some new racers before we know.
