NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (Page 75 of 82)

To any other racers I'm bringing the DaVols Forums Cup cars to run after our regular cars. They are made up of mostly stock but well tuned Scalextric 70s Nascars with 18K motors and modern Nascars with 3D chassis and no motor limit.

a little flash back sure miss running on that track

I echo those sentiments Doc, I loved racing at Too Bad.  Dominic's last football game is Thursday and he is playing with his cast all wrapped up. Looks like a club. He played last night and scored a TD. See ya all on Nov 3.

Rico

my very 1st race with the group. yes, the hook was set deep.been down the rabbit hole ever since...

dd Thursday Night Racing on March 17th at TooBad Motorplex.

We had a great turn out with 17 racers at one point! It was nice to see some racers we hadn't seen for awhile,and a new racer amidst the crowd. Between John Fisher and Chris Kouba four records fell. Chris set new records for lap time and total laps for the Classic Sports Car Class in Division II, and John Fisher posted a sub-eight second lap in the GT Class for a new record. John and Chris also tied for the win in GT setting a new lap record for that class! In the Over 50 Class Al Christensen proved he and his Cheetah can remain at the top, besting the field by over a full lap!

well that it for our little look back into odd Thursday racing history. lots of names there that we have lost or no longer come out to race.... all are missed

Racing report for 10 27 23: We had 6 racers show up to do battle on Al's track.Al changed it up  so we ran the points race  1st and Doc jump out to a fast  lead and never looked back to take the win  with Al almost 3 laps back in second  followed by Greg in 3rd  up next was sports  car  one  and once again  doc fired of fast  and held on to stand once again on the top step of the podium  with Al once again being the pride maid and David 3rd in Docdoom raced prepared  loaner.That was for the night racing.  No break in racing we do these all again next week.

WE. ARE RACING THESE THURSDAY  PGE AK GT40 CLASS AND Can Am.

That a gt40 black sheep step child

Race report for odd Thursday 11/17/22 we had 5 racers show up for battle
Up 1st was Trans am class and Doc took the win followed by Greg and Rico in third followed by Dave and then Al.
up next was the points race and Doc once again took the win followed by Al and then Rico Dave and the Greg. we lost two racers, so the rest of the night was down to test and tune with Rico making major improvements on his trans am car. The points race has been a back-and-forth battle between Doc and Al with both of then dominating, Al pge and Doc the gfx classes with the other driver finishing 2nd to the winner, so it is a tight battle.

Well, another odd Thursday race is in the books. 4 racers showed up to do battle so track calls were the flavor of the night.
Up 1st was f1 Policar and Al walked away with the win with Zack taking the runner up spot followed by Doc and then Mitch.
2nd race of the night was pge and the race was for Second with Zack running off in another time zone. when it was all said and done Zack took a easy win with Doc tsking 2nd by one tenth over Al and then Mitch.
Last race of the night was open and then was some very tight racing with a few heats side by side battles for three straight minutes Doc ended up edging Zack out for the win with Al taking 3rd followed by Mitch. the rest of the night was testing a tune time..

My old club in SoCal had all the classes run as described, which was basically "box stock" except for whatever performance parts the original manufacturer provided, such as enhanced tires. But that was it, so it made the racing less expensive for folks and just allowed for basic tuning which is pretty much within everybody's capability, and if not, pay Zack to tune for you! For those who really like to tinker, keep an "open" class for scratch-builds and things like 3D bodies and brass or 3D chassis.

It might encourage more folks to come out to race. I would have come tonight, but just got real busy at home.
