Sorry I couldn't make it Rico. I definitely would have been there if I could have!!!

I LOVE racing at the Hills, especially if the Fickle Fiats are on the grid!!!!

Lists updated from May 7, '15 race.

Odd Thursday Night on May 7th was not a particularly good night for me. I was unable to participate in the racing at TooBad Multiplex, but fortunately for me and other racers, NASTE is chocked full of good friends who are more than willing to help out when needed. People that I am truly grateful for, and proud to call MY friends! Thank you all for stepping up and continuing our Odd Thursday Racing schedule!

A couple of you may have noticed you picked up nicknames. I hope you're OK with them......if not.....well, Too Bad!
Al, when I was doing the last race recap it just hit me! It was either Smoke or MEAT. Smoke has already been made famous, so it was MEAT!...........I like MEAT better anyway!

Here's mine. This is the first time I have ever put a traction magnet back into a car! I finally found the original stock tires for the rear. Has anyone noticed the stock rear tires on the '70 Camaros are taller and wider than those on the Mustang and '69 Camaro? This '70 is now stock.......... again!

UPDATE: This car turned out to be a total let down. It suffered from NO rear grip as the tires seemed to be glazed over even after being sanded. After just two heats on June 27th I was already over 10 laps down. It was such a pitiful exibition Bob Nakamura took pity on me and loaned me his Scalextric Challenger to compete with. I never did make up the deficit, but managed to move up a couple spots. Good news is Rico blew two motors after which he took this Camaro, put the Rico rub on it and raced it for the remainder of the race. During Rico's stint the Camaro actually appeared to be working rather well. It must just be me. Anyway the Camaro is now back on the work bench gutted and being re-fitted for duty as a traction magnet free racer in the Odd Thursday Night Trans Am Class. Maybe I can do better with it there.......................or maybe not.................we'll see.

That old 1/24 chassis, and those bodies look like a cool find!

Cool John, that's a nice old original!

We used to use a black permanent marker to blacken the orange tires sidewalls.

I didn't get the cheap Womp..........I was TOO cheap with my bid!!!!

I put in a bid on this Womp

Not to be out done, John Fisher brought out his new Ford.

The Fisher Team is looking very good!

I agree with your interpretation Rico. That's another reason I need to amend the rules for our Odd Thursday racing. But for a simple answer I will say YES, you can race them. Originally I just wanted a class where racers could race the cars they had acquired for the NASTEburgring races. The types of F1 cars we race have grown from there.
