Thanks Chris for letting us abuse you cool three lane circuit last night! What a blast! Close tight racing all night!
You basement came out beautifully! The snacks and drinks were awesome, and I also enjoyed watching the You Tube videos of past NASTE races on your big screen TV!

Topic: Sportsman Cars at Rapid Raceway Last Night (1 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
There was some excellent racing at Rapid Raceway last night. The Sportsman class was on the grid first. Even though these cars are decades old they are still a blast and provide some of the closest racing you'll ever see! The car that won the race was running an original Bob Hanna designed and built Econo Car chassis, number 98 to be exact. I know of at least two other chassis raced last night that were also Hanna originals.
After we thrashed the Sportsman cars the GT3 class cars took to the track. These cars are plain fast and handle great! I'd like to thank Howie for loaning me a car to race with!
All in all, what a fun night of racing! Thank you Howie!

Re: NASTE 2017 Point Series Championship Standings & Race Results (68 replies, posted in NASTE)
Unbelievable, after 10 races we have a tie in points for first place, and the racer with the most wins is in third, 4 points down! Last night Monte scored his first point series race win for 2017. We have had six different winners in 10 races so far this season. And Doc reclaimed his seat in the second place finish spot! Time to rethink that nickname Doc. I'm thinkin' Doc Deuce instead of Doc Doom!
With 8 races to go, I don't forsee any decline in the action!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,118 replies, posted in NASTE)
Al Christensen hosted some fantastic Odd Thursday night racing yesterday. The night started off with controller BBQ provided by Rico, followed by some very close racing in the F1 class. The F1 class race was followed by the Le Mans class NASTE Point Series Race, where the racing was again very close. For the final hours of racing we raced the Carrera Proxy cars which provided excitement for racers and corner marshals alike. After all the trigger pulling and car re-slotting Monte Saager had won both NASTE races, and his car posted a first place finish in the Carrera Proxy. Nice racing Monte!

Re: Anyone interested in an EVEN Thurs? (26 replies, posted in NASTE)
I had a friend that lived on Crystal Lane off of northeast 47 avenue when we were kids. The houses on the north side of the street bordered the slew. The sewer piping in those houses dumped directly into the slew. We would go fishing behind his house and the other houses along that slew. When we heard a toilet flush and water running into the slew we would cast our bait there. The carp fishing behind those houses was always really good!

The World of Speed Motorsports Museum is offering its one of a kind slot-car track for sale. We acquired this track from Heidelberg Raceway in Eugene, OR with a plan to use in the museum. Unfortunately, over time we have found that we are not able to use as originally intended.
Many generous individuals volunteered their time and efforts to help us assemble the track here. We've appreciated the history and stories this track has given us, and hope that it can continue to be enjoyed by a variety of slot-car enthusiasts.
$1,000
Track Details:
-Analog Track
-Approximately 12' x 24'
-SRT program. Runs on a COMPAQ PROLINEA MT 4/66 computer
-Runs 1/32 or 1/24 scale analog cars.
-Constructed out of MDF Particle Board
-Non magnetoc braid.
-Runs off of 2 car batteries and has a trickle charger to charge these
We would prefer to keep the base platform, but this is negotiable.
**BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK-UP AND REMOVAL**
Due to the size, it will be necessary to cut this track into separate pieces and be reassembled after moving.

Re: Urethane Tires (42 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
Local racers - we are to the point now where we offer so many different tires it is no longer feasible for me to bring ALL our offerings to the track on race day. If you are in need of tires, or there are tires you are looking for, please send me an email or post a message here to let me know what you're after so I can bring those particular tires along with me to the track on race day. Please pass the word along as it seems not everyone checks in here regularly.

The snow out here is not going away. With the temps so low what snow the sun does melt during the day just turns to ice. The roads around us are slicker now than when it first snowed!
