One of the NASTE racers suggested having a buy/sell/swap table set up.
Sounds like a good idea to me, so I'll have a table set up for that if anyone wants to bring out some stuff they'd like to part with. (I know I have SOME stuff to put out!).......

Here's more examples of Greenman's creations:
Greg rebuilt this Revell McLaren lowering the body on the chassis, installing aluminum wheels with inserts, and replacing most of the running gear. This is one good handling Revell McLaren!
This scratchbuilt Jag started life as one of Revell's E-Type offerings.

Odd Thursday Night Racing on August 15th. We had 9 racers for the Classic Sports Car Class. Rico took the win with Bryan Dickerson in second place. Rico raced his scratchbuilt Ferrari 250P and at the end Bryan was within 5 feet of Rico with his Ninco Corvette. In the GT Class Gary "Goose" Gossett got the win with his Slot.It Nissan R90. The margin of victory was very slim in this race also, as Goose edged out Rico with a mere 6 feet to spare. We saw some great close racing throughout the evening. Thanks to all that made it out!
Here's the results:
Classic Sports Car Class:
1st Rico Locati 47 laps
2nd Bryan Dickerson 47
3rd Bill Bostic 46
4th Terry Abbott 45
5th Greg Petrolati 44
6th Gary "Goose" Gossett 44
7th Monte Saager 43
8th Perry Petrequin 38
9th Tyler Petrequin 35
GT Class:
1st Gary "Goose" Gossett 54 laps
2nd Rico Locati 54
3rd Bill Bostic 51
4th Greg "Greenman" Petrolati 51
5th Terry Abbott 50
6th Perry Petrequin 48
7th Tyler Petrequin 47
8th Monte Saager 46
"Greenman" (Greg Petrolati) made it out to race. Here's some of his work.

Please mark your calendars for a BBQ and open track day at TooBad Motorplex in Fairview on Saturday August 24th. For those of you who have not had a chance to visit this would be an excellent opportunity as I will have our home and track open ALL day!
I have been asked by some racers to have a "build day" like we did in the early days of NASTE. So from 8:00am until 11:30am I will have tables set up with soldering equipment and jigs to facilitate chassis building. In addition I have available for use a drill press, belt & disc sander, and a metal cutting bandsaw. If you're interested in chassis building just bring your parts including motor, wheels, axles, guide, motor mount etc., and some brass and steel rod. If you're unsure what you might need just shoot me an email.
At 11:30am I will start the BBQ to cook up some hamburgers and hot dogs. I will have pop available, but feel free to bring your own drinks if you prefer.
The track will be open for play or whatever from 8:00am until whenever the last person leaves (or I need to go to bed, which would be by midnight - I may be retar'd, but I still need to get up sometime the next day!).
If you have not yet visited my track, it is a 3 lane routed MDF track with copper tape and a lap length of 84 feet. The power supply is variable, and driver's stations use alligator clips.
Our pond fish will probably be out frolicking and searching for food, and available for viewing, but please NO FISHING (or swimming!).
I am hoping to see some new faces and also some of my old slot car buddies I have not seen in awhile. Us old guys always talk about getting together, well here's our chance!

You're welcome Rico, thanks for making it over!
Your handicap only applies to that particular car in it's winning configuration. If you de-tune or make significant changes to the car the handicap would not apply. Only proven dominant car & driver combinations are assessed a handicap.
You can be proud you have achieved the handicap status! You are in an elite group!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,173 replies, posted in NASTE)
Odd Thursday on August first at TooBad Motorplex. We had ten racers in the mix, with four of them being under the age of eighteen. It was a fun night of racing, crashing, and a little nerfing. It was good to see Len and Sue Gillean back in the garage, as well as Greg "Greenman" Petrolati back with a controller in his hand! Gary "Goose" Gossett brought out a fast Slot.It GT40 for the GT Class, and loaned my granddaughter Cailin a Ninco Jaguar to race in the Classic Sports Car Class (thanks Goose!). Speaking of my granddaughter, she made her grandpa proud by completing six three minute heat races (in two different classes) with less than one de-slot per heat! The entire Flood family was in attendance and all of them raced well. Russell, Todd, and Thomas "The Chisel" duked it out and all finished within just a lap or two of each other. But at the end of the night it was Rico Locati with a clean sweep, winning both classes! ............HAMMER - We missed you !!!!!!
Here's the way it went:
Classic Sports Car Class:
1st Rico Locati 49 laps
2nd Bill Bostic 48
3rd Terry Abbott 45
4th Greg Petrolati 45
5th Gary "Goose" Gossett 45
6th Tracy Flood 45
7th Russel Flood 43
8th Todd Flood 42
9th Thomas "The Chisel" Flood 39
10th Cailin Dunbar 33
GT Class:
1st Rico Locati 51 laps
2nd Bill Bostic 51
3rd Terry Abbott 51
4th Gary "Goose" Gossett 50
5th Greg "Greenman" Petrolati 49
6th Tracy Flood 49
7th Russell Flood 45
8th Todd Flood 43
9th Thomas Flood 41
10th Cailin Dunbar 37
