Hi Mike,

All the NASTE races are IROC style. We race similarly prepared cars supplied by the track owner for the race they host. All you need to do is show up to race. The cars and controllers will be there and ready to go.

Monte's Penguin Point First Sunday Series is also open to all.  The current class is the Italian Stallion Shout-out featuring Racer, NSR and Slot.It cars. For those races you would be able to race your own car, but even there Monte has loaner cars. It's a good opportunity to try different cars before you decide on what to purchase.

Randy's Beaverton Slot Car Club is currently in their Winter Season.  They are racing Fly GT Classics, and like Monte's there are usually loaner cars available.

I know it's a long drive from your place Mike, but we'd love to have you up for some racing!   -------------------------------Bill

Sorry to hear you didn't have a better turn out Mike.

The holiday festival may work out better. It was amazing to us how many adults as well as the kids would stop and try out our HO track when we used to set it up at events. The adults would usually comment how they had a set just like it when they were kids. Then they would be amazed that any adults would still be racing the "toy" cars.

Do you have any local hobby shops where you could set it up and have a race?

Do you have any model car shows or swap meets locally?

We are wishing you great success Mike!

Years ago we had an HO club and we built a protable track. We sat it up in a local hobby shop and promoted a couple races. We also took it to a couple car events (The NW Shelby Club Show & Shine). The first year we charged  a quarter to race for 3 minutes. We gave out prizes to the fastest racers. The next year we charged 50 cents for 2 minutes. We were overwhelmed with participants!!!!

So if this event doesn't pan out as you hope, don't give up. They're out there, sometimes its just hard to get connected!   ----------------------------Bill

Hey Mel,

You can see in the photo how my wife appreciates her car being left outside for track work! And the fact she felt there was too much saw dust in the driveway..........she blasted the driveway!!!

The red car is a 2002 Ford Thunderbird. They brought them back for a 4 year production run.

I got some work done on the track last Saturday with help from my friends Dave Smith And Len Gillean. Not enough to warrant updated photos. I have a couple extra days off from work this week, so hopefully I can get some more work in soon. The track is almost ready for paint. As soon as I get some work done that shows some improvement I'll get some new photos posted.

It's good to have work to pay the bills, but it sure gets in the way of what I want to get done!!!   -----------------------------------------Bill

YES, come on out Mike. Jeff's place is on 68th & NE Alberta. Shoot me an email at wb0s@hotmail.com (wb zero s@hotmail.com) and I'll reply with his address and phone number for you.

Jeff said we will be racing the NASTE Vintage Modifieds. If you have n't raced these before you are in for a treat!  Think NASTE 55 Chev's only faster (Ok, not much faster) with open wheels..............1930's to 40's bodies, no fenders, RadioShack motors, and hard rubber airplane tires!!!!! They are a HOOT!!!

Cool Mike. Thanks for dropping in and sharing with us!

The 1/43 scale cars and equipment seem to be getting better and better. I have a few of the SCX cars and they work well on 1/32 tracks too.

Did you make the signs pictured in your photo gallery?
