Update: turns out the Radioshack chassis is not one of my builds. I recognize the chassis but don't remember exactly who built it. The same goes for the Legends car. I did end up with a couple old 1/24 chassis with 36D motors and a very nice complete 1/32 Monogram brass chassis. There was also an old 1/24 model kit body which I think is an Allard? It is in pretty bad shape, but possibly restorable. All in all not a great deal on my end, but that's the way it goes sometimes!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,156 replies, posted in NASTE)
Odd Thurdasy Night March 19th.
A dozen racers in attendance and Bob, a new visitor from Hood River. We started the night's racing with the Trans Am Class race. Greg Petrolati and Bryan Trachsel tied for first in this race. Greg has shown the ability to consistantly place at the top of the podium in this class. This is one of the most competitive classes we race on Odd Thursday's. In this race there were only three and a half laps separating first from eighth! Glenn Heath raced his Scalextric Mustang with a traction magnet just as a test and comparison to his other car. His finish is shown as a DQ.
Trans Am Results:
1st tie Greg Greenman Petrolati 51.7 laps
1st tie Flyin' Bryan Trachsel 51.7 - Fastest Lap of the Race 9.655 + New Class Record
3rd Gary Goose Gossett 50.9
3rd tie Bill Bostic 50.9
5th Rico 'chet Locati 50.4
6th Monte Smooth Saager 49.0
7th Bryan Dickerson 48.7
8th John Fisher 48.2
9th Al Christiansen 47.4
10th Mitch Brooks 47.0
11th Amy Fields 44.5
DQ Big Glenn Heath 56.0
John Fisher's awesome GT Class car was at home in the shop getting a new paint job. This left the door open for The Goose to come in with his R390 Nissan and take the win. Goose's Slot.It Nissan dominated the field, running lap times almost a full three tenths of a second quicker than the other competitiors! he was hooked up and fast! It will be interesting to see how it performs against John's Audi! The rest of us were involved in tighter battles!
GT Class Results:
1st Goose 59.8 laps - Fastest Lap of the Race 8.681
2nd Flyin' Bryan 56.7
3rd Bill Bostic 55.5
4th Greenman 54.7
5th Smooth 54.6
6th 'Chet 54.2
7th Big Glenn 54.2
8th Bryan Dickerson 53.7
9th John fisher 53.2
10th Mitch Brooks 49.9
11th Al Christensen 46.1
12th Amy Fields 44.0
The Over 50 Class has quickly become a popular class. It is great fun to race those old, sometimes ill handling cars around the track! Rico'chet crushed the competition with his super fast Gar Vic grand Sport Corvette, winning with a three and a half lap margin! Gary Goose Gossett and Bryan Dickerson tied for second, but Goose suffered car damage that retired another car! Goose's Strombecker Ford J suffered damage to the nose of the car that almost separated the entire front end of the car from the rest of the body! This does not seem to be a lucky class for the Goose! Glenn Heath raced his newly completed scratchbuilt vintage NASCAR as a test run in this race. Glenn's finish is shown as a DQ.
Over 50 Class Results:
1st Rico Locati 54.7 laps - Fastest Lap of the Race 9.389 w/voltage @ 10 volts
2nd tie Gary gossett 51.2
2nd tie Bryan Dickerson 51.2
4th John Fisher 48.9
5th Greg Petrolati 45.8
6th Al Christensen 45.4
7th Mitch Brooks 44.5
8th Monte Saager 43.3
9th Bill Bostic 43.0
DQ Glenn Heath 46.7
And lastly we raced the ever popular BRM Porsche 962 cars. These cars are so much fun it is almost beyond description! These races are as much a show of force as they are a contest of speed! The Goose muscled his way to first place with 'Chet only three tenths of a lap behind him. One tenth of a lap separated third from fourth. This is some good racin'!
BRM Porshe 962 Results:
1st Gary Gossett 59.7
2nd Rico Locati 59.4 - Fastest Lap of the Race 8.172 + New Class Record
3rd Bill Bostic 58.2
4th Bryan Dickerson 58.1
5th Glenn Heath 53.8
6th John Fisher 51.3
7th Mitch Brooks 50.3
8th Al Christensen 45.1

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,156 replies, posted in NASTE)
Odd Thursday Racing came on Saturday on March 14th..... I know, that's very odd!
The day started out with breakfast at The Stagecoach Saloon. I love their $4.00 breakfast! 2 eggs, 2 large bacon strips, country style potatoes, and a piece of toast! YUM!
The doors to the track opened at 11:00am. The track was open to practice until the first race started at approximately 12:30pm. We raced a total of five races throughout the day and evening. Later in the evening we also did some testing with various types of cars including Carrera 1/24 cars, and Parma 1/32 Womps. It was a fun day of racing, visiting with friends, and just playing with toy cars! When it was all over, two more racers were added to the Odd Thursday Night Winners List. Gary Howie Howard made the list with two wins, and Beau Frazier made the list with his Trans Am win. Thanks to everyone who made it out!

Re: Hybrid Chassis? (2 replies, posted in Cars)
I do feel a little warm...........I think retirement is finally setting in. I'm starting to settle in and get a few more things done, and spend more time on hobbies. I don't really want to add a bunch of classes to our Odd Thursday Racing line up. I don't want people to think they have to keep getting more cars, I know that can be expensive. I will continue to look for interesting cars and car types to use as a set of IROC cars for our NASTE races. This particular project (I'm hoping) may serve well as my new GT Class car for Odd Thursday. We'll see how the inititial test session goes tomorrow! Maybe I'll be racing my new Greenwood Corvette next to Bryan Dickerson's awesome Greenwood Corvette?

Topic: Hybrid Chassis? (2 replies, posted in Cars)
Here's something for you builders to think about. Some of you saw and had a chance to run my Carrera Corvette with the Slot.it motor pod I installed. That one change made a significant improvement in that car! Yesterday I started a project to make an inexpensive and simple scratchbuilt chassis for 1/32 cars. Well as usual what I started out to accomplish went sideways and became a little more of a project than I had intended. Half way through plan A I shifted gears to plan B. The center section I had made yesterday fits perfectly in the center of a Monogram Greenwood Corvette chassis. After seeing the Greenwood Corvette Bryan Dickerson built, and how well it performed, I'm thinking this might be something worth tinkering with. So instead of using a Slot.it motor pod or cutting down some other production chassis, this will be an attempt to adapt a scratchbuilt motor pod of sorts.
