End of a heat and the moving to next lanes starts. L to R= Ian, Steven, Ken, Blake, Dwayne, Doc, and Bob's backside).
Focus is what counts in racing slot cars. Both for turn marshals as well as drivers!
18 entries is a huge turn out these days! especially for a Thursday night! Congrats and thanks Howie for providing us with an awesome race!
This shot is for Douglas! You gotta celebrate when you can. He was on top at various points during the race. Needlass to say, he had a great race!
Another shot of work in the pits.
Changing lanes before the next heat race. L to R= Ken, Bob, Bart, Ian. Ian is only 6 years old but he ran an impressive race! There were absolutely no complaints of him being in the way! 
Just a plain fun time!
View from the far end of the track.
Another shot of the field of 18.

Like I said, the pits were crowded and busy!
There is actually quite a bit of pit space at Rapid Raceway. The pit table spans 18 feet.
Fore front left to right = Dwayne, Blake. Rear L to R= Austin, Doc, Steven, Geof.
In the fore front is Rico on the left with Hersche on the right.
I was able to get a few pictures myself. I will add them here in no particular order.....
Sure, everybody's laughing during practice! (L to R at driver's stations: Douglas, Doc, Austin).
Discussions going on in the pits while Blake gets some practice in.
The pits were crowded but everyone had enough room to work.
Hookin' up for some practice laps (L to R = Doc, Austin, Ian, Rico).
Pit activity was high (backside of table L to R= Steven, Geof, Hershe, Douglas. Front side of table L to R= Dwayne, Blake, Jerry, Ken).
If anyone is looking for a Pro Track Indy car and will definitely use it more then me, I’ll let mine go for $30.

During the April 7th Odd Monday racing at Rob's Redline Raceway in Vancouver a proposal was submitted. The proposal was to add a NASTE 1/32 class of racing to the Odd Monday program. Testing of 1/32 production cars showed that Revoslot and NSR cars run very well on Rob's track! After running this idea past Al, owner of Rippin' Ridin' Raceway, I put together some very basic rules for the class. The rules can be read in the "Rules" section of the NASTE website under Class 14 - Open Production Class.
Highlights include: This is an Open Class for production plastic type chassis available from retail manufacturers. Scratchbuilt chassis, brass or plastic, are NOT allowed.
Potential cars brands include Revoslot, NSR, Thunderslot, Slot.it, etc.
Cars may be modified but must retain the original complete interior.
The original chassis must be used.
Motor is open. (Rob's Redline Raceway is a FAST track! Higher RPM motors than those supplied in the production cars may be suitable i.e 30K + ?).
This new class is a starting point for a proposed addition to the NASTE program, adding races at Rob's Redline Raceway in Vancouver. These basic rules may be modified or added to suite the Odd Monday racing program. The Odd Monday racing program was developed to give a variety of racers an opportunity to race on days other than Saturdays. The early start allows retired guys to attend without fighting traffic, and having a later start for additional races allows racers that still have jobs to attend.
The first experimental race for this proposal will be held at Rob's next race on Monday April 21st.
Doors Open with Open Track at 2:00PM. The First Races start at 3:00PM, Womp Class, Flexi Class, and this new Open Production Class will be included in the day's racing.
Pizza Dinner is served at 5:00PM!
The second round of racing starts at 6:00PM to allow working racers to attend. Again, this is an experiment in an effort to enhance the racing at both Rob's Redline Raceway and Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway!
So there it is, let's hear your rebuttles and sugestions!
The rules as currently written are on the bottom of the page here: https://www.naste.org/nasteracerules.cfm
We will be introducing a new NASTE class at the next race on the 21st!

April 7th was another odd dated Monday and we were at Rob's Redline Raceway in Vancouver to race Flexi cars and Womps. With only six racers on hand for the first races we decided to race three minute heats. The beauty of Redine Raceway is we can turn marshal it with only two people!
Redline is a perfect track for racing Flexi type cars. The only thing better is racing Womps on this track! Rob strated off the day by sweeping both of the first races!
Flexi Race Results:
Winning Flexi Cars - (L to R) Mike, Bill, Rob:
After the first race, Rob treated us to pizza for dinner. The pizza was as good as the racing!
Womp Race Results:
Another racer showed up after his work schedule bringing our field of racers to seven. In the end Rob was able to finish first in three of the four total races!
Flexi Race Results:
Womp Race Results:
Winning Womp Entries - (L to R) Mike, Bill, Rob:

Pre-registration requirements for the OSCAR sports car race have been met!
14 racers have pre-registered for the April 26th race!
Let's RACE!

Race results from the March 27 race:
You're absolutely correct Steven. Getting to the finish line under power was at least half the battle! There are a few contributing factors that make this class of cars challenging! 1. These cars are fast! 2. Some of these chassis are somewhat delicate (mine is for sure!). 3. OPEN WHEELS! You rubbin' = You wreckin'!
It was a hell of a night!
Left to right; Ken, Douglass, new guy Tim in the background, Al.
Hersch relaxing before his next heat races.
He may look harmless but, he will be happy to put you laps down! Rico ran a great race!
Dwayne was another racer that posted excellent results!
Al had the race sewed up until his motor decided to let go in his next to last heat race.
Douglas raced hard and in his final heat race he was the only driver left standing! Three of the last four drivers were out of the race due to crash damage or equipment failure!
Here's some of the pictures I took at the race:
Everybody is busy between heat races!
Here's the line up for the start of the race; L to R: Douglas' Gremlin, Steven's Camaro, Al's Firebird, Howie's Pinto.
Getting ready for the next heat race.
The entire field for the night.
I think Bob has gears in stock for the Womps. If not Slot.it 1/32 crown gears work well and they are available online through Professor Motor.
Yes, it was a good time! Also time for me to build myself a new Womp!
We'll save you a spot Doc!
I heard through the grapevine the current high bidder on the Hanna car is one of our new racers. I am out on the bidding. Good luck to whomever you are!
We had one new racer with us for this Odd Monday. A big welcome goes out to David. David did a very good job racing in this his first race with PASER. Another one of our newer racers that had a very good race was Bill Henry! Bill was very competitive in both classes, finishing just four laps back from second place in the Womp race! Our host and track owner Rob, posted some of the fastest laps in both classes, proving to us all that he still has it!
Here are some stats from the Flexi race:
I believe everyone had a great time! Thank you Rob for providing us with a fun and fast track to race on! And thank you for feeding us the pizza dinner!
Yesterday was another Odd Monday of PASER racing at Rob's Redline Raceway. We had a light turn out of racers but, one of the great things about Redline Raceway is we can race with only two turn marshals when necessary! Redline is a very fast track and yesterday provided plenty of action for the Womp and Flexi classes! We raced four minute heat races with one round of racing for each class.
Mike Guthrie took back to back wins, coming out on top in both classes! His cars were fast, but more importantly, he drove excellent races! The Womp class cars were the first to hit the track. Even in the mild state of tune spec'd for these cars, the racing was close and intense! The difference between first and last is determined by car control! Mike killed us in this race!
When it came to the Flexi race, Mike continued with his sweep! Fast and consistant was his key to winning!
