I had a great time and it was nice seeing some of the racers who haven't been around lately. Any time I can sneak into the top three, I feel lucky, especially with the group of racers we had on hand. I liked the timed practice, too. Maybe make it one minute heats to let more people cycle through and limit the number of times through for the "experts" as they really don't need the practice. I think the large turnout had as much to do with it being at Bill's as it did with being a Sunday race. Seems a lot of people really like the track, myself included.

Congrats to the Goose !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad that everyone enjoyed the "Bimmer Lites" . Those that know what an Isetta is know that these were almost too realistic in their handling and performance. Comgrats to Bill on the win. Guess I should have taken that do-over when my car was not in the slot at the start. Thanks to all for coming over and making it a fun night of racing. I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing those Isetta race cars on the track again!

I uncovered mine Sunday and all 20 cars ran well enough to make me happy. Those Dash-jets are another story though. Covered it back up and probably won't uncover it till the Friday before the race. No fun racing by myself. Nobody to nerf!

"So called" data is right. Anybody can skew numbers to their advantage. I flipped back through some results and saw only two times at Rico's track where the winner was not Rico (owner), A.J. (resident) or Monte (builder). That means you are less likely to win there unless you are one of those three guys. Bryan's place is the only one where the track owner dominates. Monte has a better chance of winning at home than I do.

As for "acquired skill". when I started racing with NASTE all the races were either HO or 1/24th Econo cars. I've had to learn every scale and every track by showing up and getting beat, sometimes badly. I know that now I can challenge at most tracks, but the track owner will always have an advantage if the track is only used for one or two races a year.

I just added up the numbers and they said I need another rum ball or three.

Interesting, but where would the Run Off be held? Sounds like the current NASCAR set-up. You don't have to win a race all year until the last one. A driver could win every race all year leading up to the last one and not be the champion because he didn't win the last one. Ryan Newman almost pulled it off last year.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself banging doors with Dorothy in the first round. I wasn't quite so nice in the second round, passing her as safely as possible. Always a good time at Monte and Victoria's house!

It was a fun night as always at WFO Speedway. I was less than a lap behind the master after the first round. Then I had to drive that green 55! Doubt I could have caught Bryan anyway, but I really enjoy t-jets and he builds great ones. Thanks to the hosts for another great evening.

Rico and Kelly really make us feel welcome. It's always fun to race on this track no matter how bad I do, and there is always great food to make me forget my driving errors. Congrats to the Big Smooth on his win (I think he knows this track a little better than most) and congrats to Thomas, too. He's been to three races and won them all. Maybe Flyin' Jr. should be his new name.

I won't retire the Monster Trucks but I may re-tire them. I know they can frustrate the best drivers but it's the race that brings out the laughter. Thanks for everyone coming out and congrats to Thomas on the overall Challenge win and Victoria for slipping home first with the trucks.

I always enjoy racing t-jets, and Bryan builds great ones. Next  NASTE race is on us, and we'll be racing more t-jets. Dorothy has good food planned so don't miss it!

I will agree that it was a great evening of slot car racing. Congratulations to Thomas and Monte on their winning ways.

I wish I had a wish!
