Topic: 2025's 10th Annual Tacoma 24h

I know it's a little early to start begging for participants but Alan has his act in gear early this year:

https://132slotcar.us/the-10th-annual-b … -of-tacoma

It's a Group C event for the 24 with the normal bunch of other races in support.  I signed up for an Oregon team and as always, am looking to get you all out of your comfort zone and go racing.  Clear your calendars for what you can and come on up and race.  The entry is paid for and the more people we have, the easier the weekend becomes.  Even if you're not interested in racing, come up to hang out in a slot car candy store and socialize, or even help us with marshalling duties or whatever.

If you're interested, let me know.  I genuinely hope to see you there!

This is an interesting event, and not a lot of true 24 hour enduro's come to the calendar.

Get on board and join the fun!

And as Chris says, the more racers on the team the easier it is on everyone.

Come play!   Feel the pressure of a 50+ minute heat.

I may be open to this if someone needs an additional racer on their team

You WANT to be on the Oregon Donors - if Chris is still using that name.

Driving stints are close to an hour in duration with each team needing to also supply a corner worker for each heat.  There is also at least 6 or 8 hours of driving in the dark.

Very cool.

Chris— As always, I will be there. I was wondering if you'd heard about this already!

Excellent Stan!  Looking forward to it!

Draggin guy, welcome aboard.  We're always looking for more people to come run on the team.  If you're interested, we have space and there is PLENTY of racing to go around.  Schedule is posted in the link above, lots of racing in the days before the event, and as Monte already shared, the heats during the 24h are 52 or 54 minutes long.  It's a great place to stretch the legs on your BRM cars for a few days.

If we have a strong Oregon contingent this year, we will remain the Oregon Donors.  Otherwise, Scuderia Kouba will be making its first appearance in Tacoma.
