Sure.  It's Scaley cars that are unreliable with their pressed on plastic wheels and low quality bushings.  Repair parts can be difficult to source.  The guide blades...

I don't dislike the class, I dislike the cars we are stuck with to use in it.

So, I bought one...  buncha dastards...  maybe I can sell it once the season is over only to find we'll run them again next year and have to buy another one.

Yes, it was an interesting night.  Thanks to Howie for letting us have the track to play on.

I think you make a cute couple. 

I hope a new class would include the original versions.  Having two already i'm not excited to buy another one.  They do look nice though.

Bryan, I spoke with you about doing the treasurer duties. Victoria has offered and is willing to be the NASTE treasurer.

Ain't that the truth.

Two more members added to the team - Tony and Ray - both from my last year's team.  Tony's good on those tracks and last year Ray was our butt-kicker.  Good additions.

When we pass 10 we may want to consider switching to two teams like last year.  My recall is that Chris likes to try and run for about 20 hours. 

It would not be unreasonable to take another look at the classes and see how we feel about what they are and what we choose to run in response. 

Also how about competition classes for this next season? 

Mitch, where's that new track?  I can host a time or two out here but it seems ya'll don't like to drive to Hillsboro on week nights and I can't blame you.

Monte done got whupped.  Real good.

Congrats gents.

Howie, why were the Pattos bodies "unpopular"?

I understand the problem with builders/contractors and this time of year.  I like to find workers via CraigsList or by personal recommendation.  It's always worked well in the past.  The deck replacement, tree and hedge removal, and replacement of all the windows are examples of CL gone well and most likely many dollars saved.  However, we were unable to find a reliable fence builder that both had time and gave us confidence.  We started checking late and most of them were booked well into the fall.  So, we finally tried one of the local pro outfits.  They came by the next day to give us an estimate.  Ten days later the fence was in.

We did spend a few dollars more, I think...  But, we got exactly what we wanted.  Some days price is not the end-all.

I hope you find a builder. that suits your needs. 

Or we could just all get together and have a good old fashioned barn raising.  Possibly followed by a good old fashioned barn razing...  Can a building with 4 walls be tougher to design and build than a winning downhill racer?

It's ready to go, I'll bring it tomorrow.
