Re: Upcoming Event & Opportunity! (32 replies, posted in NASTE)
Just got this email message from Beau Frazier:
I'M "ALL IN" on the soap box derby idea! I've always wanted to do this since I saw the event probably 10 yrs. or more ago. Gathering with you guys to build a car would be great fun!! Running it would be totally cool. Another idea along this line , which I ran by the PASER guys years ago, with no results, was to build an electric drag car. This ties in perfectly with slot car racing. No big money cars of course. Just something to get down the 1/8th mile as a bracket racer. Anyway, I love the Derby car thing. Count me in...Beau

Re: Upcoming Event & Opportunity! (32 replies, posted in NASTE)
This sounds like a LOT of fun to me! I am planning to go check it out with Dennis. I agree that this would be a great project for NASTE!
Here's some resourses I know our club has! We have resident race car experts; Dave Smith, John Morse, Monte Saager, Rico Locati, Greg Petrolati, Chris Kouba, Jeff Fields, and Goose Gossett. Some of these members filled the full role of one man teams as they were drivers, engineers, builders, and owners. Some of these members are still active in those roles!

Topic: Upcoming Event & Opportunity! (32 replies, posted in NASTE)
The Portland Adult Soap Box Derby will happen again this year on August 15th on Mt. Tabor.
I think that this might make a great club event and perhaps stimulate interest in building an entry. I see a tie in to what we all seem to enjoy doing and if nothing else, it would make a great social event. The races themselves are kind of free wheeling and wacky, but the course is challenging, fast and over a mile in length. We could get sponsors and share driving rights according to guts, effort and resources expended in the creation of an entry. A NASTE entry would be VERY cool and a hell of a lot of fun to design, build and race, not to mention put our clubs name out there in a really BIG way once a year. Thousands attend. We HAVE experts in automotive design, mechanics and racing skills. Its a natural and we could use the same car year after year
.The entry deadline for this year was in April, but I would like to organize a club "field trip" to this years event and see what, if anything, develops. If nothing else, it is a fun outing on a topic that is dear to our members hearts - racing and having fun. I would be happy to drive my 7 passenger van.
If everyone that actively participated and wanted to race got a chance to, I guarantee it would be the thrill of a lifetime !!
Their website is Portland Adult Soap Box Derby
Sincerely,
Dennis Hart

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,139 replies, posted in NASTE)
This is very interesting stuff guys. I like hearing about the history of the Can Am. Guess some day I should read a book! Heaven forbid!
It looks like from what I've been reading you guys have come to a mutual agreement on two major things regarding the class. 1) There should be two divisions within the class for the older type cars and the newer cars. 2) Pretty much anything goes as to the car specifics. The only problem I see in using lap times as a break out, or to designate the two class divisions would be in the case of "sandbagging". Personally I don't think that would be a problem but who knows. However with that said, if there were enough dispariety between the legal motors for the class (i.e. 18k motors for the earlier cars -vs- say 25k motors for the later cars) the lap times issue would resolve itself, and probably be a moot point. The breakout lap time could be set at a point where a perfect lap would be needed for an early car to break out, and it would be a high enough lap time that it would be easily obtainable by the later cars. Another point in regards to using lap times as a measurement, with the new lap counter/timing system we are using we have median laps times for the entire race. That might be a useful tool should you guys decide to use lap times as some sort of gauge.
I agree the Vanquish cars should be inelligible. I'm good with the Carrera cars in the mix.
