Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,172 replies, posted in NASTE)
Here we go again. Another odd Thursday race has come and gone. It was looking like it was going to be no go for racing. We only had three racers ready to race and it was getting close to the start of the racing when two more guys showed up right before we called it a bust. So we went with 5 for the night so track calls were the call for racing
Up 1st was pge and doc was on cruise control and got the 1st win of the night followed by Al and Mitch. Up next was Can Am and Al was able get a long waited win to stop the loosing streak in the points Doc came in second with Mitch rounding out the final step. Up next was open and Doc was able to take the stop step once again Al once again taking the runner up position... next odd Thursday race has been canceled at Al's but Mitch was thinking about hoisting the next race. Stay tuned for update on that. Thanks again for opening your tack Al.

Re: 1/24 3d printed bodys (2 replies, posted in Cars)
I think they are probably the future for scratch building. I think 3D printing is still in the early stages of development. The finished product is already better than it was a year ago but what I've seen they are not shall we say Impact Resistant.
In a couple more years we will probably see great things coming out.
Well nothing is impact Resistant if Bill is cleaning is controller with the car on the track...

Re: Hey everyone (13 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Those factory tires are pretty hard to start with and will work great if that's what all the cars are also running on. BUT if you show up at a club race thinking that will hook up your going for a big let down slipping and sliding. Around the track. Urethane work great but if your running against nsr shoed cars it not going to be much of a fight for long.. the aftermarket rubber tires are a good deal in the long run. You get two sets vs one pair with Urethane. There bis lots of little tuning tricks to be done even on home based slot cars that will make them run great and don't cause you a bunch of cash to do.. just have true wheels and tires does wonders for a car. Hopefully some race night you can make it out and get your feet wet. I wouldn't worry about setting up anything for club racing till you get a few races under your belt. We all ways have a loaner or two that new comers can run.

Re: Hey everyone (13 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
with the 1/32 cars 80% of the car set up going to be in the tires and wheels, with the rest going into the chassis set up and body float.. read the rules in what class car you end up building for. some are rather tight with what you can do and others are more wide open. if the class allows rubber tires then that what you will want to run. nsr super grips are king. a good tire Turer is a must have.. keep a look out on ebay and the forums for a used one, they do come up every so often. if not they can be found on some of the online stores. home racing world is great source of knowledge , just a fy setting up your car to run good on a plastic track and then taking it to a routed wood track does not work out that great. you can get them in the ball park but the real tuning going be at the club track...
track.

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.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing (91 replies, posted in Race Rules)
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..
