This also allows us to be so organized the racers will be pre-loaded into the race computer and will definitely make things more efficient. Preregistration will be open until July 1st. You will still be able to register the day of the event.

Another fun day of RETRO racing here at Pacific Slot Car Raceways. Fields of 7 entries in both classes. A little lighter than usual but the great weather might have had some impact. Thanks to those who showed up and for the rest we’ll see you at the next one!

This week we raced our weekly stock car program on the Chief, our custom Blue King track. Everyone was excited to do something a little different.

In the “B” Main Ross Korsky took the win with 264 laps, Glenn Logan more vocal than normal took second with 254 laps, Gordon had a fast car but had some difficulties adjusting to the big banked track, I expect if we threw some wings on that thing he woulda been just fine. Madison took 4th with 246 Laps.

In the “A” Main, Jim Radford and Aaron Roed duked it out for the entire race. After the 3rd heat Jim had a 4 lap lead on the field only to be punished by some braid rolled in the donut on blue making the race dead even at the halfway point. Going into the final heat Aaron had managed a 3/4 lap lead over Jim. With the focus of a Jedi master Jim was able to take the win by 1/2 the length of the track with Dan Hodapp in 3rd, Tim Burgess the expected favorite took 4th trying to adjust to his new controller.

This past week I traveled to New Jersey to compete in the Annual USRA Division II Nationals. This is an annual event held at a different venue each year where racers from around the world bring their best and compete with each other. This prestigious event was held at SpeedZone Raceway & Hobbies for the 2013 Calendar year. I did fairly well considering my inexperience: I was the Top Qualifier in Amateur GT-12 and also took the coveted 1st place podium position. With that success I am not elevated to Pro status meaning I will no longer be able to compete in any amateur class at future USRA Nationals. Local racer Timmy “The Geek” Burgess was my chosen painter and we took home 3 concours plaques in 1/32 Eurosport, JRL, and Expert GT-12 (I opted to race in the expert class to get more track time running with the fast guys). But most importantly we put in a bid competing with one other raceway to hold this event next year in the Spring of 2014. Yes you heard right, the USRA Nationals will be held at our humble little raceway next year. This will be a great opportunity for our local racers to compete on a national level. This of course won’t be anything new since we hold our own annual event “The Flats” each July. I believe our locals will make a great showing. We will in the near future start to assemble more information on the classes that will be ran, a schedule and of course all the other little pertinent details related to this event. A huge thanks to Jeff Sweeney for taking care of the shop while I was away, and also Roy Dredge for his help!

A couple things to take note of tonight, firstly this was Pipers last Womp race for awhile as her gymnastics class has a conflicting schedule. Hopefully Fred will continue to bring her along when he’s up doing testing of his own. Also first time racer Noah F did a total of 60 laps in his first kids race. The interesting part is he’s not even 3 years old yet!. The star of the show was Ellie winning every single heat and the overall race. Congratulations Ellie!
