Bill; I promise I will have my own car next year! Thanks for the loaner. The race was a lot of fun and the BS session along with the food and goodies made it all well worth it. I believe we can get the turnout up for next yr. How long has the NASTE Halloween race been going on?

Yea, I know they aren't worth much and I will cut into it. Just had to have somewhat of an excuse because I wanted to put the project off for now and get into something else!

I think this is going to be my entry in the Springwater 500 next time. It is still sealed from the factory! Found it in the shop yesterday. This was driven by Lake Speed, a national kart champion before he moved on to the NASCAR circuit. I hope I have some purple paint left!

Doc Doom; we would like to have you join the 1/24th. gang. I have an extra controller you can use if you can make it here. Perhaps someone has a car and truck to lend.

Man Rico, that truck looks very nice. You do realize that it COULD get scratched up a little in the heat of battle! Might even get some additional paint on it from other trucks in the area! See ya. this Sat. I hope.

Stumbly; I would think that it would be neat to have you come over and check out the action! This is not my track, but I believe Bob would invite you also. Oct. 3rd. is my race at Rapid Raceway and you are VERY welcome to check it out. It is the Rapid 500. I always have cookies and coffee on hand to all that come through the door!

I have a Ford Fusion body for the NASCAR class. It is a snap kit all glued for slot racing. It only has the body and glass. I screwed up the paint job so bad that I just put it in a box and left it. $10.00.
