Thursday Thunder race at Rapid Raceway
Saturday March 81, 2025
Thursday Thunder race at Rapid Raceway on March 20, 2025. We raced two times through at four minute heats. It was a grueling race with many racers experiencing mechanical failures and crash damage! Al had the race won, running away from everybody until his motor expired on his next to last heat race. Six minutes from glory!

Le Mans Class Race at Rapid Raceway!
Tuesday March 63, 2025
On Saturday March 1st, Rapid Raceway hosted a feature race for the Northwest True Scale Le Mans Class. The field included racers from the Seattle area as well as the usual local suspects. This class provides for some extremely close racing, and after 88 minutes of competition Craig Rieland was declared the winner by an 8 lap margin.
Following the Le Mans race, the Porsche 962 class cars took to the track for the backup race. This was again a very close race resulting in a tie for first place between Bob and Howie. The computer awarded the win to Howie, who had the lowest elapsed time to complete the winning laps.
The real story is not just who won the races, but the quality of the racing! We have been lucky lately to add some great new people to the ranks of our racing group. These new racers are rapidly improving their skills and becoming front runners. The ranks of all the racers has tightened up providing much closer competition. It is so cool to attend a race where any one of ten racers is a potential winner!

Welcome to NASTE
|
 NASTE provides slot car hobbyist’s with opportunities to further their interest in slot cars through social gathers as well as structured race programs. NASTE also connects with other clubs which provides even more options for racing.
NASTE was established in 1996 by a small group of slot car racing enthusiasts in the Portland, Oregon area that wanted something different. At first we raced on a short, 3 lane routed 1/24 scale track. The racing was intense! Click here to view the original site. Soon we expanded adding more tracks to the racing schedule.
Our goal is to make our racing inexpensive, with the main focus being on having FUN! Besides, we have learned that low tech can be very competitive! So, check out our cars and tracks and drop us a line if you have any questions or comments. And if you're in our local area, feel free to join us. You are more than welcome.
