Sportsman and LeMans Classes at Rapid Raceway!
Monday March 09, 2026
On Saturday March 7th, Northwest True Scale's Sportsman and LeMans class cars battled it out at Rapid Raceway. Although attendance was down just a bit at none racers, the action was definitely up to Rapid Raceway standards!
The format for the day was two rounds of racing with four minute heat races for each class. The format would provide us all with plenty of racing throughout the day. First up was the Sportsman Class. We have raced this class for years, so the competition in this class is always very close. Most racers have had years to develope and refine the performance of their cars. This particular race had a lot of action, as in "crashes"! Plastic flew on multiple occassions! One underpass incident was particularly brutal, resulting in the entire rear end removal of the GTO Gearloose JR. was racing! When the plastic settled, Howie was in the winner's circle followed by Bryan only three laps down.

After clearing the track of Sportsman car debris, the LeMans class cars were placed on the grid. The LeMans class cars are FAST, posting low four second lap times. Bryan came back in this race to post the win. Second, third, and fourth place were separated by less than eight laps. It was incredibly close racing for the entire race!

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.

IROC Slot Car Race at Electron Raceway in Roseburg
Saturday June 13, 2026
Special IROC-style slot car race at Electron Raceway.
Inspired by the original International Race of Champions, this event removes equipment advantages and puts the focus where it belongs—on the driver.
All racers will compete in identically prepared, bullet-proofed H-Bracket chassis (2NASTE and Scholer), fitted with 1/24-scale Ferrari F430 plastic bodies.
I’ve prepared five identical cars—one for each lane plus a dedicated spare. Cars remain on their assigned lanes, and racers rotate. Racers may use their own controllers, and a few loaners will be available if needed.
The entry fee is $10 and includes lunch. Doors open at 9:00 AM, with racing beginning shortly after lunch. My goal is to complete the event by 6:00 PM at the latest.
The field will be limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
I hope you’ll consider joining us for a fun, competitive, and truly driver-focused event.
Where: Electron Raceway – 420 Cascara Lane, Roseburg, Oregon
When: June 13th 2026
Entrants:
· Field will be limited
· Accepted on a first come, first served basis
· Fee: $10 (includes lunch)
Cars Provided:
· Four H-Bracket Cars (2NASTE, Scholer) equally prepared; one for each lane.
· One dedicated spare (used only if a primary car fails)
Format: IROC
· Cars remain on an assigned lane
· Drivers Rotate
Schedule of Events:
· Doors open at 9:00 A.M.
· Lunch 11:30 P.M.
· Race Program Begins
