I used to really struggle with painting and masking. Pretty good at it now, happy to give you the benefit of my experience. Or talk to Greg.

Topic: The Path Forward (26 replies, posted in NASTE)
I'm now ready to entertain the discussion on the format for next year's NASTE Saturday race series. I'm hoping to continue the familiar IROC series while adding a few special events. These special events could be either Saturday or Sunday. There could be a series prize(s) or they could just be singular events with nothing to link them together save for the familiarity of the entrants.
This series could evolve to be many things, but you should tell me what you would like.
For those that are interested in hosting events please respond as such and we'll add you(s) to the list. At some point we'll evolve to a schedule. Maybe even a concept.
Speak!
Here's our intended schedule with most of the dates being on the second Saturday of each month. If we have more hosts than dates we'll expand the schedule:
September 18: Slots n' Brauts - Jacquelin Park, Hillsboro
October 29: Halloween - Rapid Raceway, Portland
November 12: Al Christensen - Rippin' Ridin' Raceway, Portland
December 10:
January 14: Bill Bostic - Too Bad Motorplex, Fairview
February 11: Saagers - Penguin Point, Hillsboro
March 11: Dorothy and Terry - Hammer Time Speedway, Portland
April 8: Bob Nakamura - The Gorge Raceway, Troutdale
May 13: Rico Locati - Autumn Hills, Milwaukie
Unassigned Host list:

I don't think there is a max. We have the car, we just need more drivers. We'll enter one car and keep it going for the 6 hours.

C'mon all you big, strong men...
someone must want to spend a pleasant day racing with me and the Pusherman. Yes, Hornby Tony has joined the team so we now stand at two. Looking at 3 hours of personal track time currently.

Re: June 2016 First Sunday (13 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
Thanks gents and to all those that came to play. It was hot as can be! But we pressed on and managed to do a little racing. Here's the result:
Slot.it C Class:
1. Paul Painter - 46.7 laps (w/magnet assist)
2. Tracy Flood - 44.5
3. Bill Bostic - 44.3
4. Greg Petrolati - 43.8
5. Monte Saager - 43.7
6. Goose Gossett - 43.4
7. Todd Flood - 43.3
8. Jeff Fields - 43.2
9. Victoria Saager - 41.4
10. Al Christenseen - 41.3
11. June Petrequin - 39.1
12. Perry Petrequin - 38.5
Despite the heat we made the best of it and enjoyed a fine afternoon of good food and great company. And let it be said that on that day Todd looked like a racer. Way to go young lad!
Close racing for sure as 7 cars were spread out by slightly more than a lap from 2 through 8.
And happily Cat-Zilla was stopped just short of mounting the track table.

I've never worried about a car I put into an IROC event. Give 'em up for dead as soon as they hit the track.
Plan accordingly as your little, precious, priceless beauty could get rider-ed into oblivion even while in your own hands during a normal event. Don't want to risk it anyway, don't run it in the IROC event, wait for the next race when you can run it solo.

Re: BRM classics at Too Bad (6 replies, posted in Too Bad Motorplex)
I suppose we could run a split class with both GT and Classics. Run one of the other. A piece of cake compared to the F1 classes.

Thanks for hosting, we had a pleasant afternoon and the best Lasagna I've had in some time. I enjoyed all the cars even though it's a little tough on my skill set.

I think I've had Vic's car longer than you've had the Ferrari. It just stays in the box.
She says she likes it. Purple - of course.
I see there is a suspension kit available...
