I'm looking forward to the BRM race at Howie's this Saturday!
I've been working on freshening up three of Chris' loaner cars as well as my two 1/24 BRM Porsche entries. I even talked my son John into attending the race!
The day is going to start with a breakfast meet at The Stagecoach Saloon on 201st & NE Sandy Blvd at 10:00am. Howie is going to open the doors at Rapid Raceway at noon.
I'm sure this is going to be an exceptional day of racing!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and see y'all on Saturday!!!!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,139 replies, posted in NASTE)
Yes, it was Odd Thursday Night Racing at its best!
As Tracy put so well, "it was Odd Thursday in that it was odd that it fell on an even Thursday"!
To start the evening off, Chris let us take his new BRM McLaren around for some laps. Like Rico said, these cars are awesome! The Trans Am race was as close as ever, with just three laps separating first from eighth. There was another tie for first between Greg and Rico, as well as a tie for third between Glenn and Chris. Evil Jimmy Jones fought hard to keep the "loaner" it the game, but it just wasn't meant to be!
The GT Class was an exciting race. For the first few heats it looked as though Dennis Hart was going to walk away with it with his Slot.it Audi laying down some impressive lap times. John Fisher started out with a very loose car, but after cleaning his tires he proceeded to destroy the field. It was obvious had John cleaned the tires before the start of the race, he would have dominated! But at the checkered flag it was Rico taking the win,
The BRM race was as wild as ever! John Morse masterfully executed the best strategic nerf of the night. It was truly poetry in motion! 3/10s of a lap separated third, fourth, and fifth. Chris Kouba again showed us the fast way around TooBad Motorplex!
Here's the results:
Trans Am Class:
1st -Tie Rico Locati 50.7 laps
1st - Tie Greg Petrolati 50.7
3rd - Tie Glenn Heath 50.3
3rd - Tie Chris Kouba 50.3
5th Bill Bostic 50.1
6th Bryan Dickerson 49.1
7th Dennis Hart 48.5
8th Mitch Brooks 47.4
9th John Morse 45.9
10th John Fisher 45.2
11th Jimmy Jones 39.0
GT Class:
1st Rico Locati 59.4 laps
2nd Chric Kouba 58.0
3rd John Fisher 57.0
4th Bryan Dickerson 56.0
5th Greg Petrolati 54.5
6th Bill Bostic 53.8
7th Dennis Hart 53.6
8th Glenn Heath 49.7
9th Mitch Brooks 49.4
10th John Morse 45.1
11th Jimmy Jones 42.4
BRM Porsche 962 Class:

The NASTE tires are the airplane tires we currently use on the '55 Chevys.
I asked Kevin where he got the bodies and got this reply:

Check out these photos and info I received from Kevin Raper in Alabama:
..."Just a little update attached are some miller type board cars I have made using the naste tires still more detailing to do.
They run very well and are a hoot simple 2 rail type chassis underneath with a 20,000 motor."

Re: NASTE Logo Contest (11 replies, posted in NASTE)
We received 8 entries for the logo contest. All of the entries were very good, and any one of them would represent NASTE well! On Saturday October 25th we had a vote by the racers in attendance at the NASTE Halloween Race which resulted in a tie between two entries. I have sent out absentee ballots to the NASTE members who were not at the Halloween Race. The deadline for them to send in their ballots is Thursday October 30th. The announcement of the winning design will be made Friday October 31st.
