Looking forward to the new season that hopefully will not be interrupted by some kind of pandemic! I am almost done with my Classic NASCAR. Bill and I are currently trying to get my email back which went away for some reason last weekend. So if anybody has emailed me lately and no answer back, that is the reason.
Update for the rules package for the Classic NASCAR class. The bodies for the class will be any 1/24 Revell-Monogram NASCAR
body that will fit the chassis. The year range is approximately from 1981-2007. The body trim rule stated no trimming of the body sides other than the sideskirt and front spoiler. Since there is a variation of body heights in the aforementioned year range, the minimum 1.850 height rule will be the standard. You can trim the bodies as needed. No raking of the body is allowed. Thanks for your cooperation.
Classic NASCAR you say.....I put this body together and painted it sometime around 1986 when this body style was the "current" NASCAR body style. I was racing with the PASER club at Lee Dundas' barn at that time. It was mounted on the second scratchbuilt chassis I had ever built, powered by a 36D motor. It was basically just a flat brass pan, like a big Womp, and it handled like a big Womp......I never won with it, or even placed well. I hope that might change this Saturday!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in this years race. There were 13 racers and the racing was fast and furious.
There were some BIG wrecks and side by side racing. It was a lot of fun. Tight racing through the entire field. Unfortunately, there were 4 DNF's due to damage beyond repair during the event. Here are the final results....

As one of the DNFs I would like to state here and now, that even a DNF did not diminish my enjoyment of the day and the race! I absolutely love racing at Springwater, and although the track can be very unforgiving the thrill is always there! Such fast racing and so much of it side by side!
I t was an awesome day with awesome friends and competitors! On a scale of 10 this was an 11! Thanks Bob for another fantastic event! I'll get my pictures up soon!
I can only echo Bill's sentiments. I will take full responsibility for breaking the trunk section off the body, I just overcooked it. I'm not sure exactly how the front axle tube was torn off but I sure had fun while it lasted and so did my stinky motor :-) I think everyone was amazed it kept going and going. Time to get started on a new body.

Here's some photos I took at the Patriot 500 Race:
