Re: Anyone interested in an EVEN Thurs? (26 replies, posted in NASTE)
The rallier would say to his navigator "Get me out of this traffic".
Already looking forward to driving over the West Linn bridge. Or is it the Oregon City bridge. I had the worst time with that. I met a girl from Longview when I was maybe 17 or so. One night she drove to St. Helens and I asked her which way she came. She replied "over the Rainier Bridge". I was stunned, I'd never heard of that bridge. However I was familiar with the Longview Bridge.
Learned about perspective that night.

Re: good call (4 replies, posted in NASTE)
A rally man knows the proper technique. Execute all turns using the handbrake. If the first pull doesn't get you headed in the right direction, keep pulling until it does.
As the legendary Stig Blomqvist once said in New England at a rally while discussing fog on the course:
"Don't be a vimp, poot your foot down". And yes, I have the t-shirt.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,173 replies, posted in NASTE)
Employ the technicians rule of thumb...
1. Decide where you think the problem is on the schematic.
2. Put your thumb down and replace everything under it.
If the problem persists here is the applicable part:
3. Take a hammer and hit your thumb a time or two.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed until problem solved.
A few whacks with the hammer will get you right up to 8".
Any questions?

I believe that's an F1 class record for laps totaled at Too Bad Motorplex. Only things faster were a bit out of spec.
Nice. I like the Policar.

Not long if either red or blue look yellow to you. Nor would I be hoping for a white kit.
According to the Policar web site they have at least three coming out soon (2 March and a Lotus) with more to hopefully follow.
You do realize they are now owned by Slot.it.

A big thanks to Al for getting the Second Saturday Series off to a great start. The cars were great fun and easy for everyone to handle. The food was top notch. I especially liked the Mex-flavored dish. And the chocolates are always a treat. I almost went for one of the Turkey's but saved myself for chocolate balls instead. Choices...

Yes, that's what they do. It's always a problem. The lesson is to never bid early more than once.
