Re: NASTE Race No.5 Autumn Hills
Thank you Kelly & Rico for the wonderful food spread you shared with me. Rico you made some great choice's of cars to run, i had a great time running them. Most fun had was just being around a great group of people, it also helps to have and share a common interest to have fun, in our case run slot cars and laugh with each other. Til next race and more fun!

Re: NASTE Race No.5 Autumn Hills
Thank you to all that came out and raced, I hope you all had as much fun racing as I did hosting/racing. All thanks goes to Kelly for the food and as usual she went over the top. As per usual the Hills created racing that was very close and there were a few shall we say spirited battles. The Ninco Mercedes performed flawlessly, if not a little loose and the Fickle Fiats never seem to disappoint. Well except in Dorothy's case, it seemed to run fine after the race, go figure. We call them fickle for good reason.
Regards
Rico

Always a great time to be had at the Hills. And of course, the weirder the cars, the happier I am. I don't know why, must be the rally driver in me.
Thanks to Rico and Kelly. The food was wonderful. The garage was warm. And the racing fun. A perfect day.

Thanks for a great day of racing Rico. Even getting Fickled by the Fiats. 
Kelly put on a fantastic spread as usual. She never disappoints with her culinary expertise.
It was great chatting with everyone and the UpWords games were terrific Victoria.
Here are the pictures I took. Sorry, but I completely forgot to take video. Must have had too much fun at the game table.

Re: NASTE Race No.5 Autumn Hills
Rico and Kelly really make us feel welcome. It's always fun to race on this track no matter how bad I do, and there is always great food to make me forget my driving errors. Congrats to the Big Smooth on his win (I think he knows this track a little better than most) and congrats to Thomas, too. He's been to three races and won them all. Maybe Flyin' Jr. should be his new name.

Re: NASTE Race No.5 Autumn Hills
Thank you to everyone that came out and raced yesterday. I was a bit worried about traction issues early on but the track eventually rubbered in and the racing was back to normal with the Hills providing some close and exciting action. Once again the Fiats proved they are up to the task and really are a blast to race. Some cars are always difficult to race and only the most experienced can get a handle on them but the Fiats just love to be pushed hard and it's just so easy to do. At one point I think Bryan had all four wheels off the track but somehow managed not to deslot. I'm with Bill and love the Punto's too or was that Punta's?
I originally had planned to run Revell Lola T-70 CanAm bodies with Slot.it GT-40 chassis but I ran out of time to finish the second car, so the Fly Porsche GT-1's were pressed into service. They proved a little difficult for some but performed flawlessly.
I want to thank Kelly for laying out such a nice spread of food. That pork went in the oven Saturday evening and cooked all night long. Smelling most delicious the whole time.
Thanks again to all that showed up, it was fun.

Always a good time at the Hills and a well-done event thanks to Team Locati. Nice to see AJ starting to fill out. And let's not forget to mention the weather was excellent.
