SOLD ALREADY!!!

It has a happy new owner!!! Maybe with some luck we'll meet him and get a chance to run on the track again?

Looks like it was some really close racing last night, as usual for the NASTE group! A win for Mitch in the Trans Am race, Al in the GT3 race, and it looks like Goose was on top in the F1 class again!.........Oh, and it looks like Doc only got one second place finish, what's up with that Doc????

Thanks Doc and I'd love to take you up on that offer, but right now I just have too much on my plate trying to get our new place put together. Still unpacking, painting, and making changes. I'm going over to Howie's today to bring our travel trailer home and touch base with the Rapid Raceway guys.

Thanks Rico.

Wish I had a place to put that track Chris!

Coming up with a time and date for a team meeting before the race has become quite a challenge. The best I can do is Friday August 18th evening after 6pm. I have determined a location yet, but I will do so after I receive confirmation from those that can attend.

Here's some points to think about before the meeting at which time we will assign some specific duties for our individual teams as well as all the teams collectively.

We need someone to be responsible for taking photos. This will be a duty covering all three teams.

We need someone to be in position at the speed bump located in the return tow route back up to the pit area. The speed bump is roughly 200 yards from the top of the hill or pit area. This person will responsible for unhooking our team cars from the tow vehicle, getting it safely over the speed bump, and then re-attaching it for the remainder of the two to the pit area. This person will not have to be at the speed bump through the entire race, only when one of our team cars is being towed back up.

If you would like to volunteer for either of those duties please let me know.

I would also like to get a contact number for each team member that will be on the hill. If you could email me the cell phone number you will have on you during the race that would be great. I will put together a list so everyone will have all the team member's contact numbers.

I would also like to make a list of all the team members planning to attend the after race party.

If you have any other concerns or questions please let me know.

Lastly, Dennis needs a small sized 12VDC "Boom Box" that will play single CD's REAL LOUD to install in the Flyer. He tried using one of those small round ones that kids plug headphones into and it  didn't work.  It has to be strong enough to drive real speakers. He will take it apart and set it up in the rear section to play appropriate crowd stimulating sounds as the Flyer flies by!  Cheap would be good.  Free would be better!  He has an old Sony that works bitchin, but Char likes it and won't let him dissect it to fit. The crowd would LOVE it!

Again, the pre-race meeting will be on Friday August 18th at 6:30pm, location yet to be determined. I hope this date and time will work for most everyone.

May the force of gravity be with you.

New home stuff is dragging. Still no floors installed so no progress on getting settled. This sucks!

Info I received from Al regarding the classes for the next two Odd Thursday Night races:

F1 and GT3 on 8/17 and Classic Sport Cars and CanAm on 8/31

We got our cable service installed today so I am back up and running.
