Let's see, by the time Henry is 12, Bryan should be close to 60? Maybe that will help too!!!!

The chassis workmanship on all of the entries was outstanding in quality and detail! But that wasn't all. Just check out the amazing paint jobs on the bodies!

That rear engine (or in this case motor) is a vintage 36D. Yes, it is HUGE!

Edgewater Raceway in Salem will be hosting the 5th race of the NASTE 2014 season. I recently visited the raceway to get a look at the track and the cars we will be racing. Dave Smith has assembled and tuned four Parma FCR chassis with 4 inch NASCAR bodies for the race. These cars will be raced in an IROC format, typical of current NASTE races. This is going to be a race you will not want to miss!
