PASER Even Thursday (Page 2 of 3)

That was a great race Bob! Thanks!

Going miss these week race. Been told to stay off my feet as much as possible
My bad knee has issues and 2nd I don't  have car for the class. Good luck every body have fun..

Well It was interesting  night of racing. Good luck all driving and racing at Bend these weekend.  Give them hell.

For the June 8th race at Rob's Redline Raceway in Vancouver we only had 6 racers, so we raced on three of the four lanes with three turn marshals. This system worked very well on Rob's track.

Womps was the chosen class for the first race of the evening. We ran three minute heats for one round of racing (one time through all three lanes). The Womps run great on Redline Raceway! The flow of the course suits the Womps! Bob Nak and Doc tied for first with the computer settling the tie by total elapsed time to complete the round. Here are the Womp results:

1st Bob Nak. 113 laps 533.354 T-Time
2nd Doc        113       533.672
3rd John G.   110        530.419   
4th Rico        110        539.263
5th Rob         95
6th Bill          88

After the Womps had rubbered up the track the Flexi Class cars hit the track. The Flexis are unbelievably fast on Rob's layout! My car is a bullet and corners like a cat! Although I had more than my share of crashes (self inflicted) I still managed to pull out a win. John was close behind in second. Flexi results:

1st Bill           198 laps
2nd John G.    194
3rd Rob          190
4th Bob Nak.   185
5th Doc           181
6th Rico          164

Man does anybody  dust around  here???

A warm summer's evening welcomed a hearty group of 5 racers to The Gorge Raceway on June 22nd,2023. The voltage for all races was set at 10.5 volts.
The ever-challenging Womp class had very close racing, with the usual cornering issues that are common with this class.
Next up were the blazing fast 4' Flexi cars. The race format consisted of 3 racers and 2 corner marshals, with a track call for hard-to-reach re-slots. The result was a challenging and fun race event. The final results:

Womps:
  Name                           Laps
1 Turing John               81.2
2. Racerbob                 78.6
3. Doc                         73.4
4, Bad Billy                  73.2
5. Rico (Chet)              70.0

4 Inch Flexi's
1. Racerbob                139.4
2. Turing John             131.4
3. Bad Billy                 131.1
4. Doc                        121.6
5. Rico (Chet)             119.5

Thanks to all who came out and made this event possible.

Thanks Bob

Due to low interest and racer turn out, the track owners decided to suspend the Even Thursday racing until the start of the new season in September. However, I have received comments from a few racers interested in racing during the summer. If there is enough interest I'm sure we could put together at least a couple races before the start of the new season in September.

Who is interested in racing before the start of the 2024 season in September?

Last night was Even Thursday at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway in Vancouver. We had 9 racers in attendance starting the racing with the ever-popular Womp Class, racing three-minute heats, one time through the lane rotation. The racing in this class has always been competitive and close, and now since we adopted the use of spec motors, the field is even tighter! One of our best Womp racers (Doc) has been absent from Even Thursday races for a while. He returned to the track last night and showed he still has what it takes to put a Womp on the podium! Good to see you back Doc! Here are the results from the Womp race:

The feature race for the night was for NASCAR hardbody cars. Under the PASER NASCAR rules, any hardbody NASCAR that complies with the rules for any of the other Oregon clubs is legal to race. This was the first race for the PASER NASCAR Class since the rules have been revised to allow the additional types of cars and chassis configuration. Last night's race was well represented by at least one entry from every club and class! A race format of four-minute heats, one time through the rotation was used to determine a winner. Here are the results:

This is the finishing order by chassis type and class:

1st OSCAR Late Model NASCAR - McInSlot chassis (inline scratchbuilt)
2nd PASER NASCAR - Scholer chassis (anglewinder bolt together)
3rd PASER NASCAR - John Gill chassis (anglewinder scratchbuilt)
4th PASER Classic NASCAR - Hanna Econo chassis (inline scratchbuilt)
5th Northwest True Scale NASCAR - Howie chassis (big wheel anglewinder scratchbuilt)
6th OSCAR Late Model NASCAR - Rico Locati chassis (inline scratchbuilt)
7th Northwest True Scale NASCAR - 2NASTE (anglewinder bolt together)
8th OSCAR Late Model NASCAR - Tim Arnhold chassis (inline scratchbuilt)
9th PASER NASCAR - Hanna Econo chassis (inline scratchbuilt)

Great time Bob! Thanks!
