Lists updated as of November 17, '16 races.

Odd Thursday Night racing at TooBad Motorplex. In addition to celebrating Jeff's birthday we had some really close fun racing! We started the night off racing the GT Class with Rico winning by only half a lap. Next we raced the fifth race in the NASTE 2017 Point Series Championship. Rico finished first again, this time by only half a lap over Beau. The third race brought he Over 50 cars to the grid. Mitch continued his winning streak by finishing one lap ahead of Howie. For the fourth race of the night we raced the new BRM Trans Am cars in an IROC style format. These cars are the same per-production cars that were recently raced at the BRM 24 Hour Endurance race in Tacoma. These are beautiful cars and we appraciate Chris and Monte letting us give them a spin....and a couple tumbles....Chris won the BRM Trans Am race by one lap. Lastly we lined up our BRM Group C cars for the final race of the evening. Chris again pulled out the win over Al by one lap. It was an excellent night of racing and I'd like to thank everyone that was able to make it out!

We have one more race with the Trans Am cars in the 2017 NASTE Point Series Championship, then we move to the Le Mans Class. The cars will be raced according to the rules listed for the Odd Thursday Night races with the exception that front motored cars will NOT be raced in a separate division from the rear motored cars. For the Point Series Championship the Le Mans Class will NOT be separated into two divisions.

The Oregon Donors Team finished 10th. Monte's Oregon Donors II finished MUCH better, although I'm not sure of their exact finish position. After 24 + hours I was not paying much attention to verbal communications!

WE WEREN'T LAST!

Yes indeed! Thank you Monte & Victoria! The only thing that was better than the super fun racing was the awesome soup!!!!

This is looking to be the closest NASTE Point Series Championship ever! We're four races in with less than 10 points separating first through seventh positions. With 14 races to go a lot could change!

Thank you Al for another awesome night of racing at Rippin' Ridin' Raceway! As usual the racing was close and hard fought. Highlights include wins for Chris, Rico, Dan, and Mitch. Current trends: Mitch is killing everybody in the Over 50 Class, Chris and Rico win when they can make the races, Jeff and Dan are no longer mid pack rookies, and what the hell is up with the Goose not being on the podium???

In addition to Sherry OBVIOUSLY kicking Bryans butt, had Beau ran all 12 heat races he would have been right on Bryan's heels as well! We should have probably screwed Bryan out of one heat instead of Beau!

Monte, that Bat-Asp was definitely Bad-Ass!!!
