Re: The altimate slot car track (5 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
I've seen pictures of that one before. They also made one out of a real Camaro, done up like the Sunoco Trans Am Camaro.
I agree Howie, $125,00.00 is chicken feed for a slot racer to feed his addiction, but their shipping costs are outrageous!!!!!

Re: NASTE 2012 Halloween Race (27 replies, posted in NASTE)
I am definitely in favor of having the NASTE 2013 Halloween Race at Rapid Raceway!
What about a new scoring system for the 2013 Halloween race? Say some points awarded for best car theme, execution or construction, in addition to one point for each lap completed? And maybe bonus points for showing up in costume????

Thanks Howie for hosting our annual NASTE Halloween Race for 2012!
Cailin & I had a great time! Great food & great company! NASTE people are the BEST people!
Sponge Bob had a great time too (although he complained a lot about the handling of his car........er, boat!)......

Re: NASTE 2012 Halloween Race (27 replies, posted in NASTE)
OK sounds like we'll be pretty well covered. I'll bring plastic forks, spoons, and knives. Plus some finger food, probably chicken strips or what ever Cailin wants to bring. Howie's is pretty close to a Safeway in case we forgot something.
I have two Halloween vehicles up and running, Cailin's and one more. Both just barely make the 3 1/2" limit. Got my fingers crossed I measured correctly!!!!

Re: NASTE 2012 Halloween Race (27 replies, posted in NASTE)
Hi Hammer,
I'm up with doing a pot-luck type food thing for those interested in bringing something. I will bring some kind of finger type food.
As far as the address I don't like posting track owner's addresses here unless they ask me to or say it's ok. I'll send the address to Terry's email for you.

Topic: NASTE 2012 Halloween Race (27 replies, posted in NASTE)
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 !!!

Topic: SOLD. NASTE Party Van FOR SALE! (1 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
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
