Topic: Northwest True Scale Classic NASCAR Race held on November 20, 2021

Northwest True Scale returned to Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway on November 20th for a Classic NASCAR Race. There were 15 entries for the feature NASCAR race, and 10 entries for the Can Am follow up race.

In the days preceding the race, the track racing surface and braid was cleaned. The track was sprayed with a light coating of glue (traction compound mixed with Naptha) to prep the track the race the night before. The interesting thing about prepping a track with this method is that when the Naptha evaporates out of the mixture (which it does quickly) it leaves the glue compound almost totally dry on the track surface.

This is what the track looked like after spraying.

We were cramped for space but everyone seemed to make due.

At the half way point in the Classic NASCAR race Zack had established a two lap lead.

After two rounds of 4 minute heat races, Zack was able to maintain that two lap lead over Craig to take the win.

After the completion of the Classic NASCAR race ten racers took to the track with their Can Am class cars. I got photos of just a few of the cars.

The Oregon true scale racing program is progressing nicely. Lots of racers have fast cars and managing them for great lap totals. Out of towner type racers really have to have their "A" game to win. A fun challenge for sure. I really like the Inslot track mods ... but still tying to master the new layout.
