Saying Goodbye to Gearloose
Tuesday April 30, 2024
 It is a sad day as local racers mourn the loss of another friend. Jerry Palfenier, or "Gearloose" as most everyone knew him, was the last of the Pacific Northwest's original slot car god fathers.
Gearloose was involved in most every aspect of 1/24 slot car racing and car building in the Northwest over the last 60 years! He along with Bob McFarland and Lee Dundas are credited with the establishment, popularity, and longevity of 1/24 slot car racing in Oregon.
Gearloose was actively racing right up to the end, winning his last race less than one month before his passing. He will be greatly missed!
Click here for moreThanks to everyone who came to make this a special day for remembering Gearloose. He definitely will be missed at the slot car tracks. He has been involved with slot car racing here in the Pacific Northwest steady since the 1960's
We finished the race, then the Pizza arrived (thanks to Sandy, my wife) then a few stories from various racers about Gearloose, whose real name is: Gerlof Bernard Palfenier.Then on to awards.We had a concourse which seldom happens here at Rapid and guess what? A car built by Gearloose won!

Welcome to NASTE
|
 NASTE provides slot car hobbyist’s with opportunities to further their interest in slot cars through social gathers as well as structured race programs. NASTE also connects with other clubs which provides even more options for racing.
NASTE was established in 1996 by a small group of slot car racing enthusiasts in the Portland, Oregon area that wanted something different. At first we raced on a short, 3 lane routed 1/24 scale track. The racing was intense! Click here to view the original site. Soon we expanded adding more tracks to the racing schedule.
Our goal is to make our racing inexpensive, with the main focus being on having FUN! Besides, we have learned that low tech can be very competitive! So, check out our cars and tracks and drop us a line if you have any questions or comments. And if you're in our local area, feel free to join us. You are more than welcome.
