UPDATE: This morning the NASTE Gravity Team Racer was successfully and officially entered in the 2016 Portland Adult Soap Box Derby. Team members arrived at the sign up location at 4:00 am. We were FIRST in line to register! Our team leader and captain Dennis Hart represented us well. The Hawksbill Flyer will be sporting the number 39!

If you have not yet signed up to be a member of the team, do so! This is going to be a great experience for all those involved!

Don't forget to mark your calendars, the next work session is next Saturday May 7th at noon. Dennis wil be BBQ'ing lunch for all those that show up. If you plan to attend please let Dennis know! There is still plenty of oppportunities to offer your expertise and assistance on this project! + We NEED to recruit a PUSHER for the start line the day of the race!!! A big, young, strong, FAST, studly kind of guy would be ideal! (Or girl that fits that descritption!).............

Congrats Stan! That was a great run!

April 21st - We had some fun racin' at Al's last night! Ripin' Ridin' Raceway is rubbered in, fast and challenging! The Goose got back to back wins in the GT and Classic Sports Car classes, but Stan and Mitch were the stars for the rest of the night. Stan scored his first Odd Thursday win in the BRM Class and Mitch took the Over 50 Class win.

Great racin' Al, thanks!

Thanks Mitch. We're still learning, but the tires are coming out better with every new run. We have figured some things out for sure!

I'll have the tires with me at Al's race.

You are one fart smeller!!!

Smooth, you are slick!............

The info you have for the Slot.it Pro axle conversion kit for Fly sidewinder cars looks correct Doc.

I wanted to give racers a chance to get their new Le Mans class cars up and running before I put the class on the schedule. How about the May 5 race for the first Le Mans Class race?

We had the first work session at Dennis Hart's shop in Warren yesterday. With Dennis, Jimmy, Mitch and Al in attendance we got a lot accomplished! The bottom flat portion of the car which supports the axles and is the main piece of the car, was cut out and laminated together. The axle trees were also cut out to fit over the axles. This was all accomplished in under 4 hours! Great job guys!
