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:
