Re: This is the Sportsman page.
It was a lot of fun and a good turnout, thanks to those who attended.
Bill, your car looked much faster last night than it did all last yr! Too bad it broke but it looks like it is going to do well in the races coming up.

Re: This is the Sportsman page.
How in the world did I not get last? Before the motor went up in smoke the car was working pretty well I guess.

Re: This is the Sportsman page.
Bill put in a lot of time also, he helped me clean rubber off the track and braid and sprayed the track with the glue. I really never did the spray as I was afraid it would get all over and make a big mess, but it did great! That is the way I will go from now on. I know if the braid is clean our guide flag brushes will last a lot longer. I was very happy with the track condition last night. It will stay that way!

Re: This is the Sportsman page.
Racing at Rapid Raceway is always fun and yesterday was no exception! The competition was extremely close and there was lots of "rubbin'"! I snapped a few photos of some of the entrees before the racing began.

Dennis also came down from the Seattle area with his fast cars.
Rico's Olds was extremely fast!

What time did you all finish up yesterday? I was wondering if I did make it out there after work how much racing I would get in.
