Over ten years experience building NASTE Halloween cars and here I am again in the last week thrash! Maybe that's just part of the excitement? Same old scenario, had the concept for months. Been collecting bits and pieces all year. Now entering the last week, nothing seems to fit together. New 3 1/2 inch height restriction this year, CRAP! Mad search at Dollar Store, Fred Meyers, Party Store, and finally Kohls to find similar pieces with better potential to enable the concept to come to life. Cutting, grinding, soldering, and cussing. Finally it's coming together............oh wait, forgot the lights!!!! CRAP............gotta make it to Radioshack before Friday..........  And so it goes............NASTE Halloween Race 2012!...I LOVE IT!!!

Thanks Bryan for a spectacular opening race for NASTE's 17th consecutive year of racing!

The racing was exciting and I had a great time!

The food spread was also excellent, and thanks Dorothy for the treats!!! With the influence of the rum balls I think we came up with a few new tasty NASTE hors d'oeuvres (soda crackers, cream cheese with chives, and mustard...mmmmmmmmmmm!).

See everybody at the next race at Rico's !!!

It saddens me to announce the NASTE Party Van is up for sale. Greg has decided it is time for it to go. For those of you who are familiar with the van, you know it is a 1 ton 9 passenger Dodge van with very low mileage, that runs and drives nicely, with a very clean interior. Greg is asking $2,000 for the van. If I buy it I will be living in it (not by choice)!!!

Let me know if you are interested and I will send you Greg's contact info.    ------------------------Bill

Very good, you guys can come over anytime! There's a lot of satisfaction in finally seeing cars go around my track after over a year of building!

I planned on having those left over tomatoes during lunch, but they didn't even last until 8:00am! I couldn't help myself and ate them on the drive to work!

Thanks again Dorothy!!!!    --------------------Bill

There was one rule modification made at last night's NASTE Tuesday Night Race. The tire width rule for the Classic Sports Car Class was modified to allow the stock tire width of the Revell/Monogram classic cars, specifically the King Cobra & Porsche 904. I have made the modification to the rules as listed above.

Today at Monte's Ribs & Racin' Enduro we discussed the next NASTE racing season.

The races for 2013 will be IROC events. the track owners hosting a race will determine what cars or types they will use for the race. If a track owner does not wish to supply the cars NASTE has IROC cars for 1/24, 1/32, and HO tracks. Controllers will be supplied and connected for each lane. Adjustable controllers will have their settings pre-set and  locked in place so they cannot be changed during the race.

We decided to shorten the length of time between races. With that in mind we decided upon 18 race dates, all on Saturdays. With this many race dates we have some flexibility for any required changes. The first race will be on Saturday September 29th at Bryan Trachsel's WTG HO track in southeast Portland.

Track owners; if you are interested in hosting a NASTE race or races please send me an email with a list of 4 dates you are interested in hosting (pick 4 in order of your preference). Race dates will be scheduled according to track owners listed preferences on a first come first serve basis. I will schedule up to 2 races per track on this first go around. Here are the race dates with scheduled tracks as of today:

1 - September 29, 2012 - Bryan Trachsel's WFO - HO

2 - October 13, 2012 - Rico's Autumn Hills Raceway - 1/32

3 - October 27, 2012 - Howie's Rapid Raceway - NASTE Halloween Race
