RED ALERT incoming race report.........
we had six racers make the show, up 1st was gt3. Ricco had a brain fart and did not bring the correct car for the 1st class, so AL loaned his rocket ship to him. these would not be the only brain fart of the night, more on that later in the report. back to the racing. there was some really close racing with these gt3 cars doc and al batted side by side for nearly 3min straight neither able to pull any racing room on the other, the pressure was on and finally Al cracked trying to get that little extra in the hair bend and we touched, how I did come out was per luck. that little off allowed me to pull away and take the win by half a lap over Al with Rico taking third in the rental followed by Jeff Mitch and David
up next was the money race Le mans and once again the racing was close, and I was able to battle my way for the win with Al again coming in second and Ricco third.
up next was open and we were down to only 4 racers. Through the 1st two heats I was on a record seating run only to see it all go up in smoke when i got too cocky and hooked up my controller wrong and smoked the brake pot. Al ended up taking the win with Ricco in second and Mitch in third and me rounding out the field, thanks all once again Al see some of you all Monday at Bills the rest of you in two weeks.

Just trying to stream line the class rules. Just thought it be easier to split the podded cars off from the non prodded cars. But we can continue with what we are doing. The racers will end up running what is faster and the guys in it for the looks of the older cars will run what they want. Since we don't run these class as a points race. I guess Leave it alone..

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing (91 replies, posted in Race Rules)
that might work but i was thinking that most of the racers are going to run the podded cars over the non-podded anyways so that why I posted what I did. I think those cars all became shelf queens once everybody saw how the podded cars ran. the ,5 could just group all the non-podded together and keep it simple. i don't see many guys running those anymore. I for one have retired all of mine.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing (91 replies, posted in Race Rules)
more rule talk/class talk
f1 is a mess
I think we need to make some adjustment with all these new cars that have come out in the last few years
we should break them down by decade
class 1 f1 cars that ran from 1980 down. that would be the Policar classics and scaly legends cars ect
class 2 would be 1980 to 1997 and world be the nsr and scalauto cars for example
class 3 would be from 1998 to current and would be all the modern style f1 cars such as the POLICAR F1 MONOPOSTO and other brands

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,115 replies, posted in NASTE)
NEWS FLASH just hot off the wire. the racing tonight was just epic, the big v8 did not disappoint. up first was trans am and Zack made it out tonight and showed that he still the guy to beat if you want to win, when it all came down to the end Zack and Doc were tied for the win with the tie breaker going with fast lap going to Doc, talk about close.
up next was the money race with the might earth shacking can am cars and Zack was out to take no prisoners and was able to take the win by single tenth over Doc. the Big looser was Al finishing down the order to take a big hit in the points. with us just pass the halfway point in the season there still plenty time to get those points back.
Up next was open and Doc came back from his heart break loss in Can am to take the win going away. another great night of racing, thanks Al once again. for hoisting.

As is typical for the Monday open track days, people come an go throughout the day and evening. As some folks were leaving after the Flexi race other folks began showing up for the night shift!
We ran two rounds of racing for the PM Womp Race. Some racers commented that the track had changed, and this was backed up by the fact there were no break-outs during this race.
PM Womp Race results:
Round 1
Round 2
After some really close racing, Doc resurfaced to the top of the heap! It was a hard fought win for this one!
man, that just a Terrible pic
