Welcome to new racer Tim.
![http://www.naste.org/members/bill/indyRR122022.jpg](http://www.naste.org/members/bill/indyRR122022.jpg)
Then you are already ahead of the game Mitch. I am pleased with the changing to Bluegroove bodies, they are nicely done and pretty much indestructible. I am now looking forward to these rule changes for the 2024 season, I will be much happier with the class.
The first even Thursday is at Rapid Raceway on Dec. 8. What I am doing for that race is having an Early Modified race in order for the racers to prepare their car for the Sat. race of Dec. 17. This makes it simple, one class for the evening and be done by 9:00pm. I am not crazy about the Womps but I am not apposed to them either, the big thing is to get a good turnout and that is not happening with that class at this time. I am open to other classes beside the True Scale stuff, such as Classic NASCAR, Trans-Am, etc. It is a shame that this Monday thing was started with a lot of enthusiasm and dropped off almost completely. Track owners like Bill opened his doors in the morning and if no racers showed up, he was stuck at the track waiting for people to show up.
Things are not in stone yet and talks are going on. This even Thursday thing is a way to have more racing for those ( like myself ) who want more racing and have a fun laid back night of racing. What the track owners need of course is participation from the racers. I really hope this works out.
Your welcome Zack and nice to see you again, it was fun racing with you.

Unfortunately the Oct. 1st. race was cancelled due to Covid. The race is taking place today on the 8th. Hopefully there will be a decent turnout.
Good turnout and start of the 2023 season for Springwater raceway.
Slowly making progress on the Trans Am. Pictures coming when Bill gets the time.

New project: A Paser Trans Am. '70 Pontiac Firebird. From out of my old "chassis drawer" I found this chassis, I think it is a Slotting Plus SP800001. Perhaps Bill will add a picture of the very start of my project.
