hey everyone im very excited to see portland will still be on the map Congrats Tom.
I have a couple questions if someone doesnt mind helping out.
I left PRCR when my daughter was born 2 years ago at the time SC was becoming big,
Is SC the way to go if i want to get back into this? I raced buggy and truck and never had an SC.
Is the Tekin Redline stuff out dated now or would it still be able to compete well?

You can almost guarantee there will always be a Stock SC and a 4x4 SC class around here. As for the motor, I think you will be fine.

I vote for an earlier start time on Saturdays. If racing starts around 1 it will still give remote people the chance to attend, and will allow them to get home at a reasonable time.

Congratulations Tom. I am very happy you are taking on the task.

As far as race days I am sure you will figure it out and most will adapt. I would say you might look at adding a 3rd raceday. Maybe shortcourse only or a series night or something. I know TRCR races 4 days a week.

Good luck and let us all know when you need some help. I will do my best to try to make a work party.

The idea of a third race day for sc only just blew my mind.

Mod and 10.5 super stock for entry fees and supporting the shop?
