Re: HEAR THE THUNDER - SUMMER 2022!
Saturday September 17th 2022 the place to be was Woodburn. Ron Constantin's Country Club Raceway (a Viper continuous rail track) hosted Dave Smith's Hear The Thunder Event for 2022! And what an event it was! The place was lively with 20 entries for the four separate races. The racing itself was extremely close!
Rick Phillis of The Fray In Ferndale fame, brought with him the computer software and hardware required to run the races using the Fray format. Personally I like the 10 lap heat races as run at the Fray. the racing moves along quickly and each heat is exciting! Racers must go all out in each of their heats. You just can't hold back or sandbag!
First on the schedule was the IROC T-Jet Beetle Cup. These cars featured Aurora Thunderjet 500 chassis massaged over by Dave. They were a challenge for sure, but very smooth handling!
The second race was the IROC T-Jet McLaren Cup. These chassis were set up Fray style.
The third race was another IROC style race, the IROC TFX Hot Rods. The cars featured TFX chassis with resin hot rod coupe bodies.
The last race of the day was for "Unlimited Fray Style" cars.

This was a great event and really something different for most of us from Portland.
Thanks to Dave for putting this together and thanks to Ron and Stacy for letting us all come and run all over their house, and for the fantastic lunch.

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