Columbia River Slot Car Racers Kick Off at Pacific Slot Car Raceways!
Sunday August 17, 2025
Saturday August 16th Bob Nakamura and I made a trip up to Pacific Slot Car Raceways in Edgewood Washington. We participated in races for two of the three scheduled for that day. The races were run on their Twister track which is an 8 lane flat track. For myself the track was challenging, both in terms of racing and turn marshalling!

Thursday Thunder race at Rapid Raceway
Saturday March 22, 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!

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.
