Is there some plan to open up the BRM class? Both my McLaren and 512M are listening. And glad I went for the white kit.
Guess i should at least open it.

Thanks to both Rico and Kelly for hosting the race last night. I know Kelly wasn't feeling all that great yet the food was super - as always.
It was also great to see Victoria cement her position in second for the Challenge cup. I thought she did real well last night. She claimed it was one of her favorite tracks.
I wonder who should have gotten more style points? Perry for showing us a FIAT can fly or June for her amazing 360?
And it looks like practice pays off after all as John Fisher used his recent practice of those proxy runs to win the Challenge division in a close race with about 3 laps between the top 4.
Next time we run lighted cars we'll have to get Rico to make all the lights work so we can run in the dark.

Topic: Join the Team! (1 replies, posted in Team NASTE)
We just finished our wrap up from the 12-hour Enduro this past weekend in Tacoma. Our 8th place finish tells us we're on the road to improvement but nowhere near where we need to be. So it's time to get organized.
To that end we're planning some practice sessions to get familiar with the cars and the track in preparation for the 24-hour Enduro scheduled for this coming November.
But, we need more of us on the team.
If you can commit to a race day or two in November please let us know. We guarantee you'll probably have a good time. It's 1:24 scale cars that really fly. Part of it is in the dark. This time the heats were only 25 minutes but for the 24 we expect them to be 50 freaking minutes!
The early word is that it will be a battle of BRM Ferrari 512's vs. BRM Porsche 917's. Cars with metal chassis.
The tracks are great, the facility top-notch, the competition intense.
Let's show them that for one night we can still howl at the moon!

Bill, Chris, Monte and Stan

Re: Current Status (137 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
I echo your sentiment, can't recall ever having a really good time in 'Ol Frisco. Although on my day of walking around by myself i discovered that all the deli's have Meatloaf sandwiches. I considered it my "walking Meatloaf" tour. I think we only paid $20 for our car to have a parking spot at the hotel. Buncha bandits...

Re: Digital Bracketology (11 replies, posted in NASTE)
And yes, we now have RamJet's. No need to use those plunger-style controllers. Unless of course that is your preference.
If I find time, we may even have anti-collision. Actually thinking about it, I SHOULD find the time.
Know your enemy.

Topic: Digital Bracketology (11 replies, posted in NASTE)
The next NASTE race is scheduled for here on Saturday, May 2. In preparation for our big Rib's 'n Racin' event we'll be running on the digital track - new things to make sure of. It will NOT be a TEAM Enduro. Rather here is the format that we'll be using:
Jacquelin Park Speedway
Digital Bracket Race Format
1. Draw for rotation position within division
2. Each racer to run 4 sprints of 25 laps per rotation position
No refuel
First to 25 wins and the heat ends
Each racers complete laps will be totaled
Sprints are only used for bracket seeding and are not part of your score
3. At conclusion of sprints racers in each division will be ordered bottom to top for Bracket Racing
4. Starting from the bottom brackets will be structured so that there are 4 racers per heat
5. The higher rated racer in each heat gets choice of car/position
6. One 50 lap heat per bracket will be run with re-fuel with the winner of the heat moving on to the next bracket
7. Bracket results will establish the final results and will be the only scored portion
Let the complaining begin.
