Odd Thursday Night Racing on March 17th at TooBad Motorplex.
We had a great turn out with 17 racers at one point! It was nice to see some racers we hadn't seen for awhile,and a new racer amidst the crowd. Between John Fisher and Chris Kouba four records fell. Chris set new records for lap time and total laps for the Classic Sports Car Class in Division II, and John Fisher posted a sub-eight second lap in the GT Class for a new record. John and Chris also tied for the win in GT setting a new lap record for that class! In the Over 50 Class Al Christensen proved he and his Cheetah can remain at the top, besting the field by over a full lap!
Here's the results:

I'm looking for traction magnets, don't care what brand. If you have old traction magnets you're not going to use I'll buy them or trade for them! Need lots of them for 1/24 projects.

In the NASTE Trans Am Cup you can use urethanes.
I'm going with too much traction!

Re: NASTE Race No.7 This Saturday 3/19 (6 replies, posted in NASTE)
Yes, we will be racing the Slot.it Porsche 962s in with traction magnets and the stock tires.
We're good on controllers, I have 4 that work fine if just a little on the mushy side. But better mushy than too quick on Bob's track!
I did not try out my Trans Am car, although I did see Bob run his Trans Am Mustang around. His Mustang stuck REALLY well with the urethane tires! Not sure where he has his traction magnet. I'm sticking with the rear most position for my Camaro. We'll see how it works out!

Topic: Urethane Tires (42 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
Monte and I have been at work making urethane tires. To date we have tested some of our first tires mounted on carrera AC Cobras at the Jacquelin Park digital enduro.

At this time our inventory is limited! Here's the list of tires we currently have available:

I'm making a list.
I'd also like to add that I am not trying to discourage folks from buying Paul gage tires. He has treated our club very well in supplying us tires. I will also say that Paul Gage tires are of a higher quality than ours.

I will be making molds for some of the Fly cars soon, maybe next week. I could use a list of potential cars we'd like to have tires for. I think our tires are softer. We are still in the developement stage. I will have more data soon.

That will work Mitch, the stock ones are best to cast from.
I have a Scalextric GT40 and a Fly GT40 I plan to mold from also (with you-know-who in mind).
Anybody else have a particular car they are planning to race in this new class?

Bill: I like the idea you just submitted, with only the rear tire change i assume. I do question that the cars may need to have weight up front to keep guide planted.
I agree, I think weight will be necessary. I also agree with allowing the replacement of Fly pinion gears, rear tire changes, and a solid axle up front. My 2 cents worth........

Re: Odd Thursday Night - New Class Discussion March 2016 (121 replies, posted in NASTE)
How about we start out the class with NO trimming of any kind? Not for adding weight, chassis clearance or anything. Then we can see how the cars run, and as Goose noted we can make changes to the class as we go?
