Topic: PASER Trans Am Race at The Gorge and Rapid Raceway!

The PASER Trans Am race originally scheduled for Saturday, November 23rd at the Gorge was interrupted by computer failure!! Howie, who owns Rapid Raceway, graciously offered to move the race to his track. The racers being an exceptional group of enthusiasts, loaded up and convoyed from Bob's in Troutdale to Howie's Rapid Raceway in Northeast Portland. Once everyone was settled at Rapid Raceway, the race format was reset for 1 round with 5 minute heat lengths. We ended up with a fun race and everyone had a great time. Thanks to Bob and Howie.

Here's some photos taken at The Gorge Raceway leading up to the initial start of the race.
