Thanks Chris! We'll be adding more tire data such as dimensions and hopefully some photos. Lots to do besides just pouring these tires! Our first priority is to build up some inventory and selection.

Topic: NASTE Racing 2016 (6 replies, posted in NASTE)
The next NASTE IROC race is coming up on Sunday May 22nd at Terry & Dorothy Abbott's. This HO race will be the last race before the final NASTE Shoot Out at Howie's Rapid Raceway on Sunday June 12th.
Here is a copy of the Point Series Championship rules as originally written:
Championship Series Rules
NASTE Sanction - The words “NASTE sanctioned” must appear on race notices to earn Championship Series points. Casual, unposted or other races do not.
Declaration - Only racers who declare and pay a $5 fee will compete in the NASTE Championship Series. Racers in any Division are eligible.
Points – Each Championship Series racer’s points will be tracked for the racer’s overall finish position in each race. Overall finish positions are based on the finish scores of all the participating racers in all Divisions. Racers have 30 days to challenge posted event results. After that it’s “too bad”. Current NASTE Championship Series point standings will be posted for all to see on the NASTE website. In addition, each racer will be awarded one half of a lap, .5 for each win they score leading up to the final Shoot Out race. Racers are only eligible for the 1/2 lap bonuses on non-hosted tracks. In other words, racers can only receive the 1/2 lap bonuses on tracks they do not own and operate.
Best 5 - Each Championship Series racer's final points total will be based on the racer’s best 5 race finishes.
Championship Run Off - The final race of the racing season will be the NASTE Championship Run Off. This race will be an all-day event and consist of all the racers that have declared their desire to compete in the series and paid the $5 fee. Racers not in the Championship Series will race for door prizes. The top seven racers in points will compete in the Run Off. The racers below the top seven in points will compete in the Trophy Dash. The race format for the top seven in the point series standings will start with the B Main. The B main will consist of the bottom four of the seven in points. The winner of the B Main will move up to compete in the A Main with the top three in points. The winner of the A Main will be the NASTE champion for the season.
Here is the race schedule for the Shoot Out:
NASTE Shootout 2016 Schedule
Race No.1
Participants = All racers not competing in the Point Series Championship. Prizes awarded to the winner, second, and third places.
Race No.2 = Trophy Dash
Participants = Point Series participants below the top seven in points. 1 trophy awarded. The race winner has the option to receive the Trophy Dash award, or participate in the B Main event with a chance to compete for the Point Series Championship.
Race No.3 = B Main
Participants = Point Series participants, fourth through seventh in points and possibly the winner of the Trophy Dash Race. 1 trophy awarded. The winner of this race moves up to compete with the top three in points to compete for the Point Series Championship.
Race No.4 = Point Series Championship
Participants = Point Series participants, first through third in points plus the winner of the B Main. Winner’s name added to the NASTE Point Series Championship Trophy.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,156 replies, posted in NASTE)
Thanks for coming out to race guys. I had a lot of fun! We did have a good turn out with 15 racers to start the night. We still had 10 racers in the BRM race which started after 9:00pm!
The new LeMans Class was a big hit. The racing was very close with finishes like we are seeing in the ever popular Trans Am Class. We tried something new in the Over 50 Class. We used IROC style controllers with one old style Cox thumb plunger controller at each driver's station. One of the controllers was one for hotter motors and had a lower resistance resistor in it. That one was a little touchie, but the other two were pretty similar. The controllers made the racing "interesting" to say the least, not to mention making the race a true over 50 year old event. On a side note, two racers were disqualified for not meeting the "official" over 50 rule. Both racers were under 50 years of age.................Just kidding, we didn't disqualify them, we just made them race in diapers!......OK, just kidding there too..........

Topic: Racing at Rapid Raceway (2 replies, posted in Events)
Yesterday I ventured over to Howie's Rapid Raceway for some Early Modified racing. There weren't a lot of racers in attendance so Howie decided we'd race without turn marshals using a "track call" format where the track power was shut off if a racer deslotted. To be honest I don't remember ever racing under this type of format, although maybe I have and just don't remember (old guy thing you know!). Anyway I experienced some REALLY great racing! The Early Modified cars are very challenging to race. With the car's open wheels passing can be difficult to say the least, and with the "track call" racing format the field was kept tight for the entire race! You had to be on your toes throughout every heat! It was a very exciting race and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks Howie!
