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!!!

Bea Frazier's entry had everyone asking what is in the coffin?

We know it was green. Whatever it was it felt its way around the track quite well!

Here's some photos I took of some of the Halloween cars. Unfortunately I didn't get them all either.

This was Bryan Trachsel's entry. VERY tricky to turn marshal!!! For that matter, tricky to turn marshal ANY car when he was on the track........especially in the dark! Fortunately no injurries were reported!

http://www.naste.org/members/bill/IMG_3353.jpg

Sherry Trachsel's car was one of a very few that could keep pace with Bryan!

Dorothy Abbott's duck boat featured lights that lit up the whole front of the boat. AWESOME entry!

Monte Saager's Bat Asp was a classic (no pun intended) favorite!

Working on urethane tires this morning. I find this kind of work somewhat relaxing. As a retiree it keeps me occupied and I get the satisfaction of making something. With the 10 I poured today, we now have 75 molds! That means we make in excess of 150 different tires for 1/32, 1/24, and HO scale slot cars.

Thanks to everyone that has given us tires to mold from. We would have nevr been able to come up with this many molds without all your help! I hope eevryone enjoys the tires we make and gets good use out of them!
