Nice write up. Only race I ever did I had to duck from a airborne car when I was actually  driving at the same time..

Re: PASER Even Thursday

The first race of 2024 was held at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway on January 4th. The Even Thursday race had 10 racers in attendance. Two classes were raced with the first race for the Flexi Class starting at 6:00 PM. One round of four minute heat races made up this race. Since the new JK cars have been introduced to local racers, this class of cars has become extremely fast! Add to this the improved skill level of all the racers and you have some exciting and very close racing! To prove the point just take a look at the results. John won the race by just one lap, and third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were all within one lap of each other! Here are the results:

Bob (Nak Nak) had a plus one lap for a total of 196 laps.

After the track was cleared of Flexi Class cars, the grid was set with PASER NASCAR entries. For this PASER NASCAR Class, any hardbody NASCAR legal for any club's NASCAR hardbody class was elligible. One round of four minute heat races was again the format for this race. There was a lot of contact and close calls throughout this race! John completed the clean sweep of the night by winning this race with his scratchbuilt hybrid NASCAR entry. Here's the results of the night's second race:

It was a fun and exciting night of racing for sure! Highlights included helpings Doc's world famous salsa, and Rice Krispy treats brought in by Kirk! Thanks guys! We completed two full races with four minute heats, and were still done racing before 9:00 PM. I am calling it a success! Thanks to all that attended!

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: PASER Even Thursday

I've enjoyed being stuck at home! I've gotten a lot done in the shop, working on more organizing upstairs. I've sorted through and organized a bunch more parts (anybody need any plastic boxes or drawer organizers?).

But most exciting is I have been enjoying Doc's awesome salsa! I have found different foods it is good on besides eggs, enchiladas, and burritos, one of which is mac and cheese!

Thanks Doc for the salsa, it just may have saved me!

Re: PASER Even Thursday

You are welcome.  Hey I have question 4 u. I'm looking for a stombecker front engine  chassis. You wouldn't  have one of those would u?

Re: PASER Even Thursday

I used to have LOTS of them. I don't have much left of that old stuff, but I may have one. Which version are you looking for?

Re: PASER Even Thursday

I have to bring it over and show. But it is the plastic  chassis that has the motor up front with a long shaft going back to the rear axile.

Re: PASER Even Thursday

Bring it by and we'll see what I have left. I know I did have some of those long shaft chassis at one time. I purged myself of most of that crap!

Re: PASER Even Thursday

Ok it just a project  I'm playing  around with.

Re: PASER Even Thursday

I'm thinking ANYTHING might be better!

Re: PASER Even Thursday

I don't even think there's a might to it.

Doc's new Cobra beater?

Re: PASER Even Thursday

Nice looking ride Rico. Bummer having to cancel the race. The Group "C" race is rescheduled for January 27th, 2024 replacing the 4 inch Flexi's. I have gotten a lot of feedback and have handed out a lot of bodies. I still have 3 Porsche 962 hardbodies left. Times are still the same.
