Topic: OSCAR Race at Tom's World in Bend Oregon on Nov. 14, 2019
Tom's World in Bend was host to the OSCAR Super Stock Race on Saturday November 14th. There were 10 entries for this race, with 4 of the competitors being members of the PASER group from the Portland area. The trip from Portland to the race in Bend was a carpooling event, with John Gill volunteering for the driving duties. The trip included snow and ice on the trip there, with a large dose of rain thrown in on the return trip. I can't thank John enough for taking on the driving duty. he did an awesome job!
The racing itself was exciting and very competitive as is the norm at Tom's World! The racing was highlighted by the lunch break spread and goodies for snacks! There were many great on track battles. In the end the local Bend "home team" racers filled the first four spots on the podium but, John Gill finished a solid fifth despite having a couple trips to the pits for major repairs.
Tom's track is a very challenging course. It took me many years to finally make it over to Bend to race with those guys. Having been there once I am hooked! I enjoy the challenge in trying to learn Tom's track, and the group of guys that race there are fantastic! I've made new friends and challenged myself as a slot car racer. Thanks Tom for putting on these great events!
