That's great that you've chosen a costume, Bill.  Will you have a car to run as well?


...Tip your waitresses......

OH MAN, that is SO low!.......but seriously how did you know?

...............car is actually in progress although it will not be anything spectacular, just a quick build but new for this year.

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

Uh oh, I guess I’d better get building....

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

OH YEAH!!!!!

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

Build?  If I don't have tires for what I already have, I'll be watching.  ;-)

TIRES?............you MAKE tires!!!!!!

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

Smear some silicone on the old worn out tires you have. They'll make it around!

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

I'm sure I'll have something that will make it around.

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

And there's the key to our annual Halloween race, making it around!!!!

I think we may have had heat races in the past where the entry that made it all the way around at least once, won!

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

My 2018 Halloween entry is DONE!.............

.....................it's NASTE!

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

We would expect no less.  But, will it make it under the overpass?

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

Should be close.............Crypt Kicker 5 baby!!!!!

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

I just haven't been up to building lately, so I'm bringing the hearse, Which after last month seems kind of fitting.

Re: NASTE Halloween Race 2018 !

I had a lot of fun at the NASTE Halloween Race last night. Ten racers made it out for the event so the track was filled with cool, scary, funny, and just plain interesting entries!

Here's a few videos from the heat races while the lights were still on:

After the first round of racing in simulated daylight, things got interesting when the lights went out!

I tried to get photos of all the racers and entries but if I missed some I apologize!

Sherry raced her "guinea pig", but it sure looked like a RAT to most of us!

Terry not only brought entries for himself and Dorothy but extra to serve as loaners for anyone that didn't have a car to race, or in case of breakdowns! Thanks Terry!

Al's Spider Cheetah. This is the oldest slot car in the NASTE group. Al raced this car as a youth back in the 1960's!
