Racing on the original NASTE 3 lane 1/24 track after it's move to Fairview. A young Colin Ivey in the photo, January 2002.
In December of 2002, Dave Smith brought his HO dragstrip out to Fairview for a race. This track was very unique in that drivers had to make a simulated gear shift at half track to complete their run. The track featured electronic timing, and the lowest E.T.s were those with the best executed shifts.
I completed the upload of a bunch of old NASTE photos into the Gallery section. You can see them all there under The NASTE Archives.
Check out the photos of all the tracks that were part of the 2003 Fray in Ferndale. The photos are located in the Gallery section of this site.
Thanks Dorothy, great pictures as usual!!!!
Another scanned photo, this is where it all began.
This was my original NASTE track on N.E. Ainsworth in Portland. At the time all I had was a small single car garage, and this track was a good fit, as long as I didn't want to actually put a car in the garage. I was able to house my motorcycle along side the track. The track was originally built by Paul Painter. The track's footprint was just 4 feetwide by 16 feet long. The year must have been 1995 or 1996. Anybody remember?
I scanned this photo some years back, not sure where the original is now, or if there are more.....
This photo was taken at the first NASTE Halloween race. Anyone remember the date? I know it was before September 1999, and before all our kids graduated from high school. The race was held at Tim Barnes NASTE 2 track in Fairview. Tim's track was a commercial 4 lane 1/24 track that was previously in the slot car shop in Lake Oswego. Tim bought it from the owner of the slot car shop. The original owner had reconfigured the track. It's original design, as it was in the slot car shop, was a double decker design. It was reconfigured to fit in a garage after it was taken out of the slot car shop when it closed.
Here's some video I ran across. This is OLD footage, it was dated Oct. of 2000. Looks like a NASTE race at my place in Fairview shortly after we moved here. The race is being run on my 1/24 three lane short track I bought from Larry Cockerham in Carlton. That track was originally set up in my single car garage when I lived on northeast Ainsworth Street. Back then NASTE stood for Northeast Ainsworth Short Track Encounters. Things evolved from there!

Odd Thursday at TooBad Motorplex on December 5th, 2013 -
MAN, was it cold last night!...Outside, but in the garage it warmed up nicely with the twelve 98 degree heaters (racers) in attendance. We welcomed two newcomers, Rob Enders, and Doug Truesdail, and our friend Ruben DeGuzman dropped in from Canada. There was some very close racing and some well placed nerfs. Chris Kouba has a killer car for the Classic Sports Car Class (Flyin' Bryan - the challenge has been put forth). Chris just edged out Rico for the win in the Classic Sports Car Class. The finish in the GT Class was just as close. It sounded like everyone was having a good time! The results are listed below:
Classic Sports Car Class:
1st Chris Kouba 48.7
2nd Rico Locati 48.4
3rd Greg Petrolati 45.9

Cool finish! Close race!
Monte & Victoria - THANKS for another great race day and eating session! As usual the food and racing was first class!!! The new digital controllers make all the difference on the digital track! The improvement over the stock controllers was 500 percent at least! Thanks Dorothy for the treats! Sorry I had to leave early. And lastly, who won????
TooBad Motorplex was the host track for a SCITCC Proxy race on November 21, 2013. I have posted pictures from the qualifying in the "Gallery" section of this site.
Chris Kouba brought out this very cool Ford GT mounted on a modified BRM chassis.
List updated from Nov. 21 race.
Odd Thursday Night Racing, November 21, 2013.
Nine racers tonight, we raced The Classic Sports Car Class, GT Class, and held the second round of the SCITCC Proxy. Chris Kouba brought out an entry for the Classic Sports Car Class that had everyone taking notice! Chris installed a set of narrow wire wheels and tires on his Slot.It Ford GT to make it legal for the class. From the way Chris' car performed, I'd have to say this is a great set up for the class. I may have to try this set up myself!
