Topic: Northwest True Scale Classic NASCARs @ ICFR

On Saturday January 29th 2022, Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway hosted a Northwest True Scale point race for the Classic NASCAR Class, and as the support race the 4.5 inch NASCAR Flexi Class. We had nine racers in attendance for the Classic NASCAR race, which is for hardbody (model car bodies) on Bob Hanna style Econo Car chassis. This is a very popular class with all the cars being pretty evenly matched, resulting in very close competition!

We raced through two rounds of four minute heats. After the first round Zack was in the lead just three laps ahead of Bob, with John in third another six laps down. Results from Round 1:

The 4.5 inch Flexi NASCAR race was run immediately following the Classic NASCAR race. The consisted of one round of five minute heats. John came back to take the win just two laps ahead of Bob and Howie, who were tied for second. Bob took second place by way of better lap average.

Here are the results:

Nope...can't get rid of me that quickly, ha.

Just been working on our new house on the weekends.
I could come race but I would quickly have to also build myself a shed in the back yard to sleep.

Yea, I know how it goes sometimes.
