Busted!

I believe they got the leak stopped at least temporarily. He said they had to take everything out of his storage area and put it in with the track. They still need to repair all the damage to the moldings, floor, and walls. He also needs to find out why the leak started and what they need to do to make permanent repairs. He said it is really a mess.

Ohhhhhhh..........well then, that too would depend on price. Biggest problem is I haven't had them out and accessible for anyone to actually look at!!! I also have some bare chassis for 36D motors. I have parts to assemble them also. I could probably put together kits if anyone is interested. I know I still have multiples of Classic chassis.

36D motors you ask?...........................I have NEW ones yet to be run!!!

So I got this bright idea I would start my inventory by getting all my 1/24 chassis together. Laying them on my track seemed like a good idea and a way to organize them. As it turned out it was a lot like organizing a tank full of guppies by color. SH*T I have a lot of chassis!!! Actual count was 126 in 1/24th, and 25 in 1/32nd not including any of my current (within the last 5 years) projects under construction. Unfortunately for me that's not ALL of them. I got tired of unboxing them. But let's say I have the potential to complete another 200 or so 1/24 slot cars. That's close enough for me. From here my plan is to just get a count of the complete slot cars I have in 1/24, 1/32, and HO. After that I may have a stroke!

Now there's another option...........!  Thanks Monte!

Here's a few 1/32 chassis. Some old 60s RTR type manufactured, some old 60s race set chassis, some newer.

Here's a pile MEAT might appreciate! A few of my old KTM and Kemtron power chassis. Some really wierd stuff here!

Also in my collection are some old clear bodies that have been painted and detailed. Some are pretty well done. I like the use of the screen on this F1 body.

So there is a small sample of some of my 1/24 and old 1/32 stuff. I have LOTS more in HO as well as 1/24 and 1/32. Any interest in seeing more?

December 3rd, 2015 Odd Thursday Night Racing-

It was a cold night, but the thirteen racers on hand helped to warm up the garage as well as the track. It was nice to see Ruben Guzman from Canada, as well as the usual crowd of NASTE racers. We started the night off racing the Trans Am class. Amy Fields took the unofficial win with her Nak-Spec Camaro. Unfortunately with the traction magnet in place she was not entitled to the official overall win, that win went to Bryan Trachsel. Bryan got that win by just half a lap over Gary Goose Gossett.

Next class of cars to the grid were the classic sports cars. Performance stepped up a notch in this class with the Division 2 allowed modifications of 8mm wide rear tires and/or motor pod-type or articulating chassis. Chris Kouba's Slot.it Ford GT40 proved to be the class of the field here, setting a new lap record as well as total laps in a 3 minute heat race. Rico Locati took the Division 1 win with his proven scratchbuilt Ferrari GTO.

After the sports car race it was time for the BRM Porsche 962s. The real question was what type of race would it be? As it turned out everyone, ok well most everyone raced in a very gentleman-like manner. Unusual for the BRM class! Chris Kouba drove to an impressive win! And lastly the Over 50 Class. Gary Goose Gossett has his Mystery Chassis car pretty well dialed in now, and it showed on the track. Goose took the win with a comfortable 3 lap cushion!

I'd like to thank everyone who was able to make it out for the race! And thanks for all the snacks! I'd also like to thank Chris Kouba for allowing us to run his 3 new BRM cars (Ferrari 512 & Porsche 917s) in a little IROC race to end the night. Oh, and for those that don't know, IROC stands for I Regret Offering Cars! Oh so true some times!

Al's track is better suited to the BRM Porsche 962s with its wider shoulders/aprons. Al used dimensions of 7" for turn aprons based on the length of the BRM Porsches. I ran my BRM 962 around for a few laps and although it was a little loose it was a lot of fun to run on Al's track!

Yes we do, and I've been holding it for Al in the hope he would get his track done. Looks like it was worth the wait!!!
