Bryan stopped by last night and was the first "independent" racer to turn a wheel on the track. He ran a Scalextric Porsche in non-magnetic configuaration with stock rubber tires. Even with no "pad" built up on the track surface the car performed very well. I am VERY happy with the track's racing surface! Everything I have tried has hooked up well!! --------------------------Bill

Re: New Track Under Construction at TooBad Motorplex in Fairview (178 replies, posted in Track)
Got some work in on the track this weekend. The center lane is up and running. Still have quite a bit to do, wiring for two more lanes, relays for the indicator lights when a circuit breaker is tripped, reverse direction switches for the lanes and lap counting, and additional power taps. ---------------------Bill

Re: NASTE Race No.10 - Sling Shot in Carlton on April 21st (17 replies, posted in NASTE)
Here's the sign up so far:
Terry (called shot gun first) & Dorothy, Rico, Jimmy, Tracy & sons (3 seats), and I'm saving a seat for Bryan (not Flyin' the other one). I can probably still fit a couple more.
If we start racing at 6:00pm or so, I'd like to be at Larry's no later than 5:00 pm, so that's about a 3:30pm departure from a central location. It looks like we have passengers from SE and North. Any suggestions for a meeting place?

Let me know if you are interested! ------------------Bill

Yes, thank you Andre for hosting the NASTE race. I really enjoyed the cars you had set up. They were very well balanced and made for some really close racing. You and your wife's hospitality and the beautiful meal was greatly appreciated! --------------------------Bill

Re: NASTE Racing Rules and Format (8 replies, posted in NASTE)
I think that is an excellent idea Monte! The committee could also have oversite in regards to the "race-worthiness" of potential venues/tracks?
It seems there are few of us that participate here on the forum. I'm not sure if that is an indicator of a lack of interest in the operations of our group or not. We seem to have just a few really dedicated people. I must admit I have been guilty of not participating in as many events as I would like to. I am wondering if a blanket email to our subscriber list detailing our intentions of re-organiziing our group would provide any incentive for others to become more involved?
