Our Nascar race next Wednesday marks eight years since our first taste of HO oval racing at the Barn. We held two non-championship events in 2011 to see if our racers would enjoy the format - and they did! Here's a pic of that first race...
From February 2012, we've held four Nascar championship rounds each year. Almost all on ovals - long, short, medium-sized, Indy-style rectangles, tri-ovals and the Tricky Triangle - with a road-course thrown in every couple of years or so.
Racing HO cars on an oval is breath-taking and requires total commitment, perfect rhythm and hitting the same breaking points lap-after-lap, maybe twenty-five 40-foot laps a minute. And there is the small matter of avoiding everyone else's mayhem. Races have been won from all four lanes and the fastest car is not always the winner. We love it!
Expect post-race coverage of all the action on the 2019 Tricky Triangle next Thursday and Friday.
