Its got to be better than me trying to eyeball and make sure my tire is flat when I am sanding it... I also saw a video for the tire razor and when he sanded a tire he uses pretty fine sand paper and water with a little dish soap in it on the sand paper.

Re: Club Purchase of a Tire Razor Tire Truing Machine (13 replies, posted in NASTE)
How many tire truing machines are there that will do a good job with 1/32 tires? and I know with the tire razor you will need a power supply to use it... not sure if there are any others out there that have a built in power supply

Re: New Championship Rules for 2016 (46 replies, posted in Race Rules)
I do think bills track in the reverse direction would be fine as well...we only did that once quite a while ago. that would make it pretty even I think if bobs and howies track are not available..
yes terry you are like me... I race on my track for the naste race and usually a day or two before making sure my cars run...and wheels stay on...Lol then its a place to store crap.

Re: New Championship Rules for 2016 (46 replies, posted in Race Rules)
first I want to say congrats that naste has been around for 19 years... and that when I found them 10 years ago we raced on two or three tracks. and now there are several track to race on.
I also like the way naste went a few years back to the iroc format... this is a great way to race..and get people into racing slot cars as people who might not have the money to get a bunch of slot cars or have room for a track to run on.
there are other clubs and other formats of racing where you can build your own car.
Plus I think it makes things pretty equal ... sure there is home track advantage... I know that after I host a race my track becomes a storage table until about three days before my next race..
after reading through all these posts I had a small aneurysm....
So much to say ...
I don't mind hosting a race and not having my points count toward the points series.... but I still want to race and trade paint..
If you look at all the races that race on a regular basis it seems to me that most everyone seems to finish in close to the same place most of the time and I don't think that will ever change much........ sure there are some off nights for some
so is that why we are breaking it up into three classes? will we have a points challenge for all three classes with a trophy in each? is it all about the trophy? is it all about winning? should we just race everyone together again like we use to?
I really enjoy racing the odd Thursday races and there is not trophy at the end of the season.... but im not sure there is even a season with that......Lol and there is no big prize at the end of it all... we just go and race... have a great time.
I know you cant please everyone but what ever changes happen with naste I will still be there racing and having a great time. I want to see naste keep going for another 19 years

Re: HO Thunderjet Secrets? Possibly the best kept performance secret? (7 replies, posted in Cars)
I think I will leave these just like they are... for my race I now have 5 sets of cars we can choose from.. im thinking of racing these in one heat and I just put together some 55 Chevy's with original tjet chassis. those will be the two sets of cars to run...
you can still get them to slide some... but the do handle different.

Thanks to all who came out last night it was a fun night. We can call last night a test night for the new timing system... I think it worked ok... I will also go through a few of the cars and fix the brakes on the blue Camaro. that gives me two months to get it ready for our race in January.
Dorothy I hope to have your photo spot open for you for that race...
