Topic: Northwest True Scale race at ICFR April 4th, 2021

We had 10 racers in the NWTS TA2 Class, including two long distance travelers from the Seattle area. It was the first time some of the racers had turned a wheel on the track's new layout configuration, so as you can imagine the first round of racing was action packed! Our Seattle friends Craig and Dennis stole the show by whooping us all!

The backup class race was for the NWTS Can Am cars. And again Craig and Dennis showed us how it's done! What do we have to do to beat these guys?

Sorry I didn't get more photos!

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

You were getting your cars and skill on the new layout dialed in by the end of the race!
