Our Rules for Archer Raceway, as of August 28, 2000, (updated Sept 2001) are now on a separate page.
Luf is now posting results for Monday nights weekly on his new web site.
Monday nights,  practice is at 5:00, and racing starts at 6:30. We're usually done by 11:00 or 11:30.
Holiday Mondays we practice from noon, and race at 2:00.

As I said on the main page, Luf replaced the upstairs Track's 1 & 2 with a new 5 laner (July 2001).
The hillclimb is finished, have a look!
There are links to more pics and some video clips on Luf's new web site, including the latest project, a Nascar tri-oval. This is so much like the real thing, with drafting and massive wrecks.

--- Here are some more shots of the original Track 1, the revised Track 1(b), and Track 2, (that were not used in the links on the front page).
--- Here is  Track 3, a 5 laner on a 24 x 8 table downstairs
    - first laps run December 9, landscaping and timer coming soon
    - here are some more shots of Track 3.

The original rules and the lap timer program for Commodore were created for 1/24 scale racing by the group that has come to be known as the "Westside Boys".
Their club track was built in the mid 1970's, at a business in south Vancouver, and ran for about 15 years. It was on the mezzanine level when I saw it.
This track, in a new layout, was reincarnated in Ron C's basement. I actually got to do some laps during warm up, and shot video one night when they were racing.
A very much abbreviated version of that same track now resides at Wallace's World, near 128 and 84, in Surrey.
Some of these veterans helped form the current HO club, and now race at Archer as well.

(...and, as it turns out, small world, Luf was a charter member, and the builder of that original track...)
(If anyone from the old crowd has pictures from later than the one's I've posted, let me know please.)
(Here's a couple from 1960's racing. Thanks Lari.)
(This is something (???) Luf built. Did anyone order Pizza? From Europe?)
 

It turns out that Dave and Neill joined us from Apollo Hobbies.
They have a humungous 8 lane, and a smaller 4 lane at their location in Burnaby.
They plan to host Wednesday night, Friday, and Saturday racing this fall --- after Radio Control season is over. (when the monsoons return to flood their outdoor track)(...and, they might be building a routed track soon...YAHOO!!!)(wall removed and track now in works - stay tuned)
(Dec. 9 - track sections all built in place for fit, routing next)
Here are some more shots of Apollo Raceway's track.

Don and Brandon have a routed track in North Van (that was featured in their local paper, and I'm looking forward to trying).
Perry has a plastic track in New Westminster that he calls Royal City Raceway.
Perry and Apollo are starting a "Box Stock Nascar" series on alternating Wednesdays.
Photo's of North Van, Royal City, Archer, and an Ho Tractor are in Kelly's Photo Album on another site.

Jamie (from HO) is using his 1/32 track on the HO table. (Better move it soon pal, Friday night racing starts in a couple of weeks)
And, we were "invaded", on the July 1st and 4th long weekend, by a group of PSSRA members from Seattle. I've been e'ing Iceman. He says they are coming back in October.
(have a look at their Photos / Tracks. Apollo is #12, and it must of been a Canadian who first invented #6, EH!)  ;-)
