Topic: NASTE Race No. 8 (8 replies, posted in NASTE)
A great big NASTE THANK YOU to Andre and Suzanne (sp?) for hosting the race last night on relatively short notice. They went all out on a St Patrick's day theme complete with Irish music to go along with the corned beef and cabbage. The track is nice and smooth and the "slow jets" are a delight to drive. The only complaint would be the view out the window, it's too distracting ;-).
Regards

Same for me on the racing and food. Check my car? Why? I still won two heats with the wrong car, can anyone else lay claim to that? LOL what a dunce I am.

How could you get fully relaxed in Maui with a unfinished track? Get your work/track done then go relax.....in Paradise without us.

I looked at FW and that car looks to take a "long can" or FK-180 motor. The Avant motors seem pretty strong along with Slot.it and NSR but there are many varied choices for motors so I guess pick your favorite.

Re: Winter Season Building Tips, Parts, Motors etc (4 replies, posted in BSCC)
I have several to choose amongst from various makers. I've got a SCX Pro Audi, Scale Auto Toyota, Avant Audi, two different Spirit cars and something else I'm working on. They all seem to run pretty close on my track but results may vary on Randy's track. I will have to test them at Randy's and make a decision.

We need a huge NASTE thank you to Bill for doing an outstanding job of piloting the Naste prison/church bus to Tacoma and back. Another round of applause goes to Tony at FantasyWorld for hosting a spirited event with the now infamous Racer Ferrari's. Yes, the very same cars that garnered Dorothy her nick name of "the Hammer". The cars performed flawlessly once again and congratulations to John, Monte and Tony on the podium finishes. A good time was had by all and included a special side trip to 132slotcar.us. See ya at the next race, cousins.

Bill,
Any thoughts on when and where we are meeting up? I heard or read somewhere the race was at 1:00, maybe Monte can confirm?

I've been in the back seat of the Saager mobile. Dorothy, trust me, you don't wanna go there if you don't have to. It may have a view but the leg room is at a premium.

Very very cool, did it run like you planned? Except being faster than you thought.
One last question, are you going to tape over the power taps or just leave them the way they are?

I agree with Bill's sentiments whole heartedly. Thanks to Monte and Victoria for a funtastic event and I am looking forward to the next one in Tacoma. Let's all practice up and try to get some better results than the last time we ventured forth. See you all at Jeff's for the Halloween race, are y'all ready?

Thanks go out once again to Monte and Victoria for another rip roaring event at the Pen. The racing included many of the usual faces, a few old faces we hadn't seen in a while and a several new faces which were welcomed heartily. As usual the racing was very close with Mr. Bostic coming out on top, congratulations Bill. I ate so much through out the day I had to force myself to eat dinner when I got home.
