Race of Feb. 16th. 2013. The competition is getting very close between True Scale NASCAR's and the OSCAR NASCAR's. NASCAR rules were discussed and tossed back and fourth and voted on and starting next season, only True Scale NASCAR"s will compete at Rapid Raceway. So next season will be True Scale format in all classes.
I'll also mention that Gearloose's True Scale NASCAR is a home built in-line chassis and is fast and handles great!!

Race of Feb. 1st. 2014. A good turnout thanks to BB, Dave Smith, Bob Schaffer, Paul Painter, Larry Cockerham for making the trip up here to compete. It was a lot of fun and good racing!

Race of March 1st. 2014. Seven racers showed up to do battle. The track was repaired in the "esses" and cleaned for this race causing some slippery conditions. I squeezed out a win over Gearloose. We have one race to go on March 29th, then start planning for the 2015 season. It was also discussed to set a new rule starting next season: to have the tracking set at a certain width for all NASCAR's, therefore eliminating the problem with narrow bodies. I think it is a good idea and I will install the new tracking rules asap. Also it was discussed to add flairs to the cars to avoid the look of tires sticking out beyond the body too much after cutting out the wheel wells for the tires to clear. I like that rule also. Marty has a flared NASCAR and it looks great. No it is not absolutely true scale, but so be it!

The first annual Rapid 500 is on the books. Nine racers showed up to do battle, I appreciate every one of them. The race was not with out it's glitches. First the blue lane needed a repair, while plugging in the soldering gun, a short in the plugin box caused the computer to lose the race. So we elected to start over and shorten the race. Then the blue lane needed to be re-repaired! With that done we proceeded to have a fine race.
We ran the classes together and scored separate, it worked out very good.
Thanks to my wife for the soup and potato salad.
This will be the kick off race to our future seasons.

Dennis, here is the deal from my perspective: I have confidence in the racers who have raced here for several years that they will tell me when their cars are illegal and they have done that. Now I have a problem, you never told me you had an illegal car, I had to find it!
So beginning next season I will come up with a plan to make sure everyone is legal BEFORE the points race starts. So thanks to you that means I will have to take time to tech the cars. As every one knows I do not like to take the time to tech, honesty has been playing here for quite some time, but now I must take the bull by the horns and do what is right for everyone! Thanks Dennis!

Yes! I am pissed, especially now that you have made it public in the comment above by making sure you let every one know you "won" the race! NOT COOL!
