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!

When I visited Edgewater Raceway in Salem I got a peek at Dave Smith's new Volkswagen Bug drag car. This thing is just too cool!
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!
Here's a look at the track from the front door:
Here's the four IROC cars we will be racing on November 9th:

FLY LOLAs -
After last night's point series race I pulled out the old Fly Lolas. I had planned a second round of racing with the Lolas, but due to the number of entries we ran a little late. For the racers that wanted to stick around we ran a non-points race with the Lolas. I had done some work on the cars earlier in the day and they seemed to perform much better than the last time we raced them. For those of you that remember, I had set the cars up for magnet-free racing with a little weight added, Slot.It running gear, and Slot.It tires. The big issue had been a total lack of rear grip. Well, by the time we raced them last night either the cool track surface, or the tires being in a cooler temperature put us back to the same level of performance. In other words they handled like crap!.........AGAIN! The good news is we managed to break the guide flag mount on two of the three cars, so I probably won't bother with these cars again! After all, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken crap!
BUT, we did manage to complete the race and here are the results:
1st Bryan Trachsel 31.7 laps
2nd Bill Bostic 31.1
3rd Terry Abbott 30.9
4th Dave Smith 30.3
5th Randy Word 29.9
6th Dorothy Abbott 28.9
7th Jeff Wilson 28.3
8th-T Sherry Wilson 26.5
8th-T Scott Fleener 26.5
10th Cody Underhill 26.3
11th Jimmy Jones 25.8
12th Chelsea Wilson 25.0
13th Elliot Word 24.8
Even the crappy cars resulted in some pretty close racing!!!!
