The NASTE 2015 Season opener was a FULL day event. Two races were run earlier in the day, prior to the NASTE Point Series Championship race, and the NASTE Challenge Race. The first race of the day was for vintage F1 cars. There were eight entries in four different divisions of the class. After a lunch break we raced classic sports cars as raced at the Odd Thursday Night races here at TooBad Motorplex. Here's how those two races shook out:

Vintage F1

Monte Saager - 1st place in the Scalextric Vintage Division.
Mitch Brooks - 1st place in the Scalextric Historic Division.
Victoria saager - 1st place in the Cartrix Division.

September 25th Odd Thursday Night Race.

Racer turn out may have been low, but we definitely weren't lacking in racing action or enthusiasm! Mitch Brooks and John Fisher scored their first wins, making the Odd Thursday Winners List. Bryan Dickerson placed as high as second in the Vintage F1 Class. And Gary Goose Gossett set a new race record in the BRM Porsche Class. It was an action packed evening! With only six racers we ended up racing four different classes, all with three minute heats. I don't know about everyone else, but I had a great time (even with the DQ in the GT Class race!).

The Results:

Scalextric Vintage F1:
1st Rico Locati 52.8 laps
2nd Bryan Dickerson 50.9
3rd Goose Gossett 50.4
4th Bill Bostic 48.9
5th John Fisher 48.0

Scalextric Historic F1:
1st Mitch Brooks 41.2

GT Class:
1st John Fisher 58.0 laps
2nd Goose Gossett 54.8
3rd Rico Locati 53.7
4th Bryan Dickerson 52.6
5th Mitch Brooks 52.2
DQ Bill Bostic - illegal motor >21.5k

BRM Porsche 962 Class:
1st Goose Gossett 63.3 laps
2nd Rico Locati 58.9
3rd John Fisher 57.0
4th Bill Bostic 56.9
5th Bryan Dickerson 56.4

I have had a request to extend the deadline for the NASTE logo contest. The new deadline is October 25th, 2014, which is the date for the NASTE Halloween Race at Rapid Raceway. The judging for the contest will take place at Rapid Raceway. The judges will consist of three senior NASTE members in attendance, and the race winner of the expert and NASTE Challenge races.

Due to the extension of the contest deadline and any anxiety that may create, the Fantasy World gift certificate prize has been increased to $35 !!!!

We currently have 4 entries in the contest, so get your entries in now!!!

My understanding of the points system for the NASTEburgring is you received a single point for competing , and you received one point for each entry you beat in your class. It looks like there were only two cars entered in the Scalextric Historic class at both races in the Tacoma area. Likewise in the Cartrix class there were only two entries in each of the four races. The maximum points the winner of each of those races could receive was also two. In the two Oregon races there were four entries in the Scalextric Historic class races. The winners of each of those races were awarded a total of four points. Most racers entered the Scalextric Vintage class, with seven entries in the Oregon races and sixteen in the Washington races. That's where the big points were, but there were also more racers competing for a win.

UPDATE:

The kickoff race for the NASTE 2015 racing season will be held at TooBad Motorplex in Fairview.

I have had requests to hold a Saturday race for racers that are unable to attend the Odd Thursday Night races, as well as those that are not really inetersted in the NASTE Point Series IROC races. This kick off race will be an all day event starting with a breakfast gathering at the Stagecoach on NE 201st & Sandy Blvd. The Stagecoach has a $4 breakfast special that is fantastic. The breakfast meet will start at 9:30am. Following breakfast the track at TooBad Motorplex will be open for practice from 10:30am to 11:30am. At 11:45am the green flag will drop for a Vintage F1 Race. This race will be for the vintage F1 cars as raced in the NASTEburgring races. The rules pertaining to car setup will be the same, and are described in this forum under 1/32 events. After the F1 race there will be a break for lunch. Racers will be on their own for lunch. There are many local restaraunts close by, as well as fast food venues. The track will be open for practice during the lunch break. After lunch there will be a race for the Classic Sports Car Class as raced in the Odd Thursday Night races. The rules for those cars are sec'd out in this forum under Race Rules. Practice for the NASTE Point Series Race will start at the usual time of 4:00pm, we will be serving pizza for dinner from 5:00pm to 6:00pm, with the IROC race starting at 6:30pm.

Racers interested in participating in the 2015 NASTE Point Series Race are not required to attend all the races during the day. The races prior to the point series race are optional, and will not be scored for points. Only the IROC races in the evening will be scored for the point series.

This will be a full day of racing, and racers may attend any of the individual races, or all if they so they desire!

So mark your calendars!!!  ===============Bill

You may be wondering how my Scalextric #6 Trans Am Camaro worked after the modifications. The answer would be; much better! My fifth place finish last night is probably not a good measure of the car's improved performance. Even with my crapper driving I managed to pick up an additional 2 1/2 laps over my previous race's total with the car. Now if I could just improve my driving skills!

Odd Thursday September 11, 2014...........

  Eleven racers showed up at TooBad Motorplex in Fairview on this Odd Thursday Night. In attendance was long time contributor to this forum, Ol' Mike. For those that don't know him, Ol' Mike has got to be the KING of all 1/43rd! I believe Mike has built more 1/43 cars than Artin! And ALL of them CUSTOM!

  So back to the racing. John Fisher and Chris Kouba were back in town and ready for race day! The rest of the field was made up by the usual suspects. A Ninco Corvette returned to the top spot in the Classic Sports Car Class. The Trans Am Class is really heating up as racers get their cars dialed in. The Trans Am Class resulted in a first place tie, as well as a tie for fifth! And in the BRM Porsche 962 race, well a BRM Porsche 962 won. Go figure! Oh and the Goose? Well, he didn't have clear wins in all three races. Greg Petrolati managed to tie him for first in the Trans Am race.

  So you may wonder; what makes Goose so good? First of all he is an expert at car preparation and set up. Second, he is a damn good driver! There you have it, his secrets are out. So load up, Goose season is officially open!

The Results:

Classic Sports Car Class:
1st Goose Gossett 50.9 laps
2nd Rico Locati 50.6
3rd Chris Kouba 49.7
4th Terry Abbott 49.1
5th Bill Bostic 48.9
6th Greg Petrolati 48.1
7th John Fisher 47.7
8th John Morse 44.6
9th Monte Saager 44.4
10th Mitch Brooks 41.6
11th Ol' Mike 36.0

1st - Tie Greg Petrolati 52.0
3rd John Morse 51.6
4th Chris Kouba 50.4
5th - Tie Monte Saager 49.5                                                                     
5th - Tie Bill Bostic 49.5 
7th Rico Locati 48.3 
8th Terry Abbott 47.7
