November 19, 2015 Odd Thursday Night Racing - We had a great turnout with a starting grid of 16 for the first race. We also had the pleasure of meeting a new racer from the Portland area, Jeff and his daughter Jessica. We hope they had a good time!

First up was the GT Class race. The racing was very close with only five laps separating first through tenth. The top four all had fast lap times under the nine second mark.

The Can Am Class was the second race of the night. Although Amy again showed us all the way to the finish line, her win was recording as a N/C (non-conforming) which gives the official win to The Goose. Amy's Slot.it McLaren is super fast and Amy can get it around the track very quickly, which she proved by setting a lap record of 8.449 seconds (traction magnet assisted). Greg Petrolati finished ffirst in the USRRC Division of Can Am.

The BRM Class race. Holly poop through the fan Batman! The BRM race was brutal! There were absolutely no holds barred in this race! The race deteriorated to the point of red neck destruction derby standards! Nobody won, but The Goose did manage to complete the most laps!

After we all regained some composure, we raced the Over 50 Class. The Goose pulled off his third win of the evening, winning the Over 50 Class by two and a half laps! It was a good night for The Goose!

I'd like to note here that we have been experiencing a lot of DS Controller failures. I believe the problems arise when racers use their DS Controllers to run the Over 50 Class cars. Many of the Over 50 Class car's motors can expose your controller to much higher current or amperage than the 1/32 cars. We have seen multiple brake potentiometer failures as well as damge to the controller's circuitry. I would recommend using a controller specifically designed for 1/24 cars to run your Over 50 Class cars.

I'm not sure what happened but it seems like a bunch of pictures I took didn't show up when I downloaded the camera. Terry's was not the only car that didn't show up on the download, there were others. I probably did something wrong, that's why YOU Dorothy are the Official NASTE Photographer!!!!

To date we have completed 2 Nak-Spec Trans Am races. The first one at Penguin Point and now the second here at TooBad Motorplex. I had purchased a new Scalextric Trans Am Camaro to race in this series because the existing cars I own have all been modified to some degree. I bought the Todco Camaro hoping it was going to have the newer guide set up, however it did not. In a discussion with Rico he mentioned he thought only the digital ready cars had the new guide blades.

After initially racing these cars at The Gorge Raceway I felt the hot set up was to have the traction magnet positioned in the rear most pocket. With my newly purchased car I moved the traction magnet to that rear most position, and I installed a pair of Paul Gage urethane rear tires, per the NASTE rules. When I raced this car at Penguin Point it was clear the rear most traction magnet position was not the optimal set up. I finished in the top 5 but the car was challenging to control in the tighter turns. In the second race with this car at TooBad Motorplex the car worked awesomely. It stuck like glue in the corners. I'm not sure why the car worked so much better here than at Penguin Point, but I am extremely happy with it. My plan is to leave it as is until I see how it works at The Gorge and Autumn Hills.

I thought grouping racers by novice, intermediate, and expert provided for some good door to door racing. Anyway it seemed to me the races were closely contested. I saw many really good on track battles!

November 5th Odd Thursday Night. The weather is turning cool, but it was hot racing at TooBad Motorplex on this Odd Thursday night!We had some very close racing in all the classes! The F1 grid was first up for the night. The field was pretty evenly split  between  five divisions. The grid was stacked to allow same division cars to race against each other. This provided some very close side by side racing.

Next up were the Trans Am cars. The racing in this class is always very close, but with the new motor rule in place the field tightened up even more! The fastest and average lap times varied no more than a few tenths between the top six drivers. After the Trans Am class the BRM Porsche 962s hit the track. The racing in this class is always close, tonight it was borderline brutal! This is not a class for gentlemen racers or the faint of heart! We finished off the night with the over 50 Class race. Racers have been massaging and improving theirs cars since the inception of the class. The performance of the OVER 50 cars has almost reached the level of the BRM Porsche 962s!

Here are the results:

F1 Class Results:
1st Amy Fields MD 53.8 Laps - N/C w/TM
2nd Goose Gossett END 53.7 - First in Division
3rd Bryan Dickerson 53.6
