We missed ya Doc!!! Nobody finished second!!!!
Thanks to Bob Nakamura for hosting last Saturday's NASTE race. It was another good time at the Gorge Raceway! The two sets of IROC cars were a handful which resulted in some of the closest racing I have ever seen! Thanks Mitch and Tony for letting us abuse your cars!
And thanks to all that brought food and snacks!
Hey Hammer. I can stop and get something. Maybe some chicken?
I am pleased to announce that The Stagecoach Saloon has come onboard as a sponsor!
I was earlier....seems OK now?
AWESOME!!!!!
Good plan Doc, but............he has other cars!!!!

Thanks to Mitch for these photos of the starting grids from last night's race!
Odd Thursday Night Racing on March 23rd - We had some really tight race at Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway last night! First class on the starting grid were the GT cars. This is really a diverse class with sedans all the way up to prototypes competing with each other. This would be NASTE's version of run what ya brung! On this particular night Rico's Fly BMW sedan just squeaked out the win over Al's Porsche 962 by just 2/10ths of a lap. Less than 1 lap separated third through fifth!
Next up were the Classic Sports Cars for the NASTE Point Series Championship Race of the evening. Again we saw ten cars on the grid and the racing was just as close. Chris won the race extending his point lead, with Mitch coming in second, and Monte in third. This class is really shaking up the point standings.
A couple racers had to leave but we still had an impressive grid of eight racers for the start of the BRM Group C race. Rico had an impressive run to finish first with Al three laps behind. Dan followed in third just half a lap behind Al.
The last race of the night was for the Over 50 cars. Mitch again led the way to victory with his very dialed in Classic chassied Porsche 906. Al gave Mitch a good run but finished a lap short of beating Mitch with his KTM powered Cheetah. Fernando had an excellent run with Al's KTM powered Ford GT Roadster finishing fourth!
Welcome to new comer Andy! We hope you had a good time!

The last race on the TooBad track depends on a couple things. 1. If it sells soon. 2. If our house sells before the track does. 3. If it doesn't sell. 4. If our house doesn't sell. 5. If we find a place and I move the track with me.............well, you get the picture............
Thanks Chris,
The track is L shaped with an overall footprint of 17 feet by 15 feet. At the widest point which is where the overpass is, it is 7 feet across. The upper part of the track is 5 feet across, and the lowest portion is 5 1/2 feet across.

TooBad Motorplex is officially up FOR SALE!
Diane and I have decided it is time to get serious about moving! Not knowing what kind of space I will end up with for a track, I've decided it will be easier to build a new track to fit my new space than to "modify" this track as needed.
When I built TooBad I built it with plan of someday moving it. The entire track running surface unscrews/unbolts from the framework into easily moveable sections. No section is larger than 4 foot by 8 foot.
I will sell the track with or without the framework and cabinetry. Just for referrence the cabinetry is not high quality, but it is highly functional!
The track is 3 lane routed MDF. The track surface is painted with Rustoleum "Magnetic" Primer. If you are not familiar with this product, the paint itself containers ferous metal so the painted track surface attracts magnets. Cars equipped with magnetic traction work excellent on this surface! Electrical contact for the racing lanes is through copper tape. The track is wired and has a dead strip installed for lap counting/timing. Track lap length is 84 1/2 feet, with the variance between each lane less than 2 inches! We race 1/32 and 1/24 cars on the track. Lane spacing is 3 1/2 inches.
I would like to sell the track without the power supply and Trackmate lap counting/timing hardware for $500. I would consider negotiating a price to include the lap counting/timing system and power supply if the buyer so desires. I will asist in the disassembly, and although my schedule is very busy right now I would also consider assisting in the relocation set up. This is a nice track and I'd like to see it get a good home.
Here are the results from the March 18th race:
