I found this ad in a local car advertizing paper in the 80's. I did not make it up to the swap meet. Anybody know anything about this?

Yes it was! Aero's was a great hobby shop! The shop was crammed full of models, and he specialized in radio control airplanes.

Topic: Aeros Sports Hobbies Flyer (5 replies, posted in The NASTE Library)
In the early eighties the local HO slot car club HORREO, HO Road Racing Enthusiasts of Oregon, set up a nice four lane Aurora track in Aero's Hobbies. Aero's was located in what was then the Fred Meyer shopping center on southeast 122nd and Division. From what I remember, HORREO held races there on Saturdays. This was one of the flyers they had posted.

Topic: Mustang Challenge Ticket (0 replies, posted in The NASTE Library)
The first time we took the HORO promo track to the Mustang Swap Meet in McMinnville Oregon, we printed up these tickets to sell to people who wanted to race on the track. 25 cents got you into a two minute heat race with three other drivers. At the end of the day the driver that completed the most laps in their heat race won a prize. That year the prizes were collectible die cast banks. Our hope was they would use the bank to collect quarters for next years swap meet!

Topic: Tacoma Racing at 132 Slotcar, April 4 & 5‏ (1 replies, posted in Events)
Details are coming together regarding the spring race weekend at Alan's in Tacoma. It is scheduled to be a Fri eve and Saturday event with a preliminary schedule of:
Friday night:
Slot.it Group C
Scaleracing LMP Challenge
Saturday
BRM 1/24 Scale
Scaleauto GT 1/24th
BRM 917 IROC
Scaleauto 1/32 GT IROC
The schedule is tentative as the intent is to appeal to the masses to maximize fun for all. I attended last year- it was a lot of racing and a lot of fun with good people whom I'd only ever known over the internet. It was nice to put names with faces and do some racing.
Loaners will be available but please give as much heads up as possible to make arrangements. If you're bringing your own cars and would like setup info, give him a call as he'll gladly share what's been working well.
Track is 8 lanes and braided with non-mag braid; runs pretty hot at around 13V. Pics:
Carpooling can be arranged amongst interested parties.
