Some of the racers were overcome by the excitement in the air!
Final race of the 2023 Porsche 962 Championship, and what a beautiful day! April 29th and the doors were wide open to the warm air and sunshine! The race itself was close and exciting, as well as somewhat chaotic in regards to scoring......
Due to an administrative error (on MY part) in the race details on the NASTE Calendar (race start time to be exact) one racer did not arrive until the first round of racing was nearly over. Adjustments were made in the format to allow him to get all his heat races in. The scoring for Round 1 was captured on paper only (accurately!).
Round 1 Results:
John 182 laps
Kirk 178
Bob 178
Bart 175
Bill 174
Al 172
Howie 170
Gearloose 162
Rob 159
Douglas 142
Hersch 128
Round 2 Results:

That was a great race Bob! Thanks!
Cool Zack! It will be great to see you back on the track, and I know Tommy will be happy to see you!
You have all heard us "old guys' Talk about the "good old days' racing with PASER and OSCAR at Lee Dundas' track in the barn in Wilsonville. Tom Street is hosting his NASCAR hardbody race at his place in Bend on Saturday May 20th. Tom Street's track in Bend is one of those iconic club tracks that MUST be experienced! It took me years to finally get out to a race at Tom's track, but once I finally got there I have not missed one since! The OSCAR races at Tom's are some of the absolute premier races to be hosted in the Pacific Northwest for hardbody slot cars. If you have not yet experienced racing at Tom's, and are new to the 1/24 hardbody scene here in Oregon/Washington, you owe it to yourself to attend one of these races! I will be attending again, leaving for Tom's on Friday to attend the Friday evening practice. I have done the Saturday turn-around, but as an older racer I now need my sleep! You younger guys have NO excuse!..........Valley racers; we may not be able to beat them on their home track, but we CAN out-number them!!!! Make your calendars,.............Saturday, MAY 20th! See you there!.....If you don't have a car...let me know.....
I'm with ya John! I know there will be retribution, but I am ready to give it my best! If nothing else maybe we can out number them!!!
Inslot's Checkered Flag in Vancouver hosted an OSCAR NASCAR race on Saturday April 15th. It was nice to see 16 racers turn out for a full day of racing. We had 5 out of town racers, 3 the Bend area, and 2 racers from the Seattle area. We had 3 new racers to the OSCAR circuit. We had 4 newly built chassis entered, built by first time chassis builders in Stuart's chassis class.
Jim "Professor Fate" Mitchell won the Racer's Choice Award for the best looking car. John "Turing John" Gill was the Top Qualifier recording a 4.85 second lap, less than .1 second off his track record. The race consisted of 4 rounds of 4 minute heat races, the standard format for OSCAR races. The only deviation from the standard format was the field was not split into A and B mains. All the racers rotated through the lanes together. In the end John Gill was the winner with "Terrible Tommy" Street following in second. Bob "Nak Nak" Nakamura held the third spot to fill out the podium.
We had Firehouse Subs for lunch, and like the first year we served them at an OSCAR race, I totally screwed up and I don't think anybody got the right sandwich! I'd like to thank my wife Diane for ordering and picking up the food, and for making brownies for the race. We had LOTS of snacks and sodas on hand, so thanks to everyone that brought them! It was a long day and I was totally spent at the end! But man, did I ever have a good time! I hope everyone had as good of a time as I did! Thanks to you all for showing up!

Results from the April 13th race:
Rico, is your handle the standard Parma handle? I have some.
Since I received very little feedback regarding the Womp Class rules, I assume there are few concerns. I have updated the Womp Rules according to how we currently race them.......more or less.......maybe a little clarification.....
Read them here: http://naste.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1084
Womp Class rules updated April 8, 2023
As indicated by recent discussions it appears to be time to revisit the PASER Womp Class rules and make some changes. Here are the rules we are currently racing under:
Stock Womp Class:
Class Goal: Keep this a budget class, limiting it to primarily STOCK 1/32 Parma Womp chassis, keeping the cars as close to OEM components as practical. Final motor spec will be determined with the goal of keeping the cars quick, with low cost motors. Some speed may be sacrificed to gain better handling and closer competition.
Must use a STOCK 1/32 Parma Womp STEEL chassis. - NO modifications. That means NO bracing, NO bending, NO added weight, etc.
Must use the stock 1/8" front axle, stock front wheels, and stock front "O" ring tires. Front wheels may be set up to rotate individually.
Minimum ground clearance of .055" at lowest point.
A final motor spec has not yet been determined. We are currently considering the Piranha 21.5K FC-130 S-Can (available through Professor Motor $7.99), and the Predator FC-130 25K S-Can (available through Slot Car Corner $7.99). I would personally rather use FK type motors, so I will check to see what is available at a low cost. It appears the Professor Motor FK 25K motor is no longer available. Until a final decision is made on a spec motor, we will allow any motor rated at 25K or less. This will also give us an opportunity to evaluate other motors. Please use motors that are READILY available to everyone!
Last night was PASER's Even Thursday Racing at Rob's Redline Raceway in Vancouver. We had 8 racers in attendance, just enough for four full lanes of racing with an adequate number turn marshals. First cars to the grid were Womp Class cars. The Womps are a handful on Rob's track, but they make for some close racing and a lot of fun! Kirk Smith and John Gill tied for first, with Kirk edging out John for the win with a better average lap time. Here's the results:
1st Kirk 158 laps 4.818 second average lap time
2nd John 158 laps 4.840 second average lap time
3rd Rob 153 laps 4.968 second average lap time
4th Daniel 153 laps 5.012 second average lap time
5th Tim 135.00 laps 5.731 second average lap time
6th Tommy 134.00 laps 5.680 second average lap time
7th Mark 118 laps 6.418 second average lap time
8th Bill 112 laps 4.530 second average lap time - DNF w/broken lead wire
After the Womp race the Flexi Class was up. In this class the new JK flexis are the weapon of choice. The performance of these cars, even unmodified, is just unbelievable! Even with lots of crashing, nerfing, bashing, and over running the corners, the top two spots broke the 200 lap mark! Here are the results:
1st Bill 208 laps 3.679 second average lap time
2nd John 205 laps 3.730 second average lap time
3rd Rob 197 laps 3.856 second average lap time
4th Kirk 192 laps 3.985 second average lap time
5th Daniel 191 laps 3.990 second average lap time
6thTim 173 laps 4.435 second average lap time
7th Tommy 163 laps 4.686 second average lap time
8th Mark 127 laps 6.010 second average lap time
Thanks Rob for providing us with a top notch racing facility and an awesome track to race on! Not to mention great coffee and cookies!
Thanks for restoring the Gallery Monte!

We're missing you Matt!
We just finished the fourth class, so I figured it was time for an update. Stuart has done a great job of instructing as well as helping all of the participants keep on track with their chassis builds. Everyone is on track for having their cars done at the end of the last class. If anything we are a little ahead of schedule! Thanks again Stuart for doing this! Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Stuart not only offers building instruction and tips, he covers the principals of good chassis design.
Participants chassis are all looking really nice!
The soldering skills participants are developing are probably the hardest to master.
Al is demonstrating the level of concentration and attention the participants exhibit in each class!

Stuart Wall, a premier hardbody builder in the Pacific Northwest, was the instructor for last night's chassis building class. Stuart studied chassis building under Bob McFarland, and his level of skill reflects that tutelage. This first class focused on the building of the chassis center section, including the motor mount. Stuart supplied each student with pre-cut brass pieces, and the necessary wire and tubing. Each student cut and pe-assembled the pieces, after which Stuart demonstrated and assisted in soldering the pieces together. I'd like to thank Stuart for putting on this class for us, and congratulate him on an outstanding job with the instruction!
