Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,118 replies, posted in NASTE)
Hey Bill: Thank you for hosting another great Thursday night of ruckus slam-in fighting race bouts @ Too-Bad raceway! You are to be applauded for sharing you're track and home for all of us racers, enough cannot be said for you're efforts!! Had a great time being shoved around the track last night. I have to really thank Chet' here for his letting me use his brm car last night, that beast really hauls, and i feel really privileged he shared it with me! For me that is one of the acts that make Naste special for me. I am already anxious for the next Thursday night race. Now i need to find a "legal" vintage car.

Rico; please tell dominic i said thanks for the great job of getting my brm car back on the track when i landed in "no-mans land", he did a great job of jumping in there and grabbing the picker and getting me back on track in the right lane and in the right direction-well done!
Kid volt; great job of driving with you're group c car, you really have that car flying.

Re: Planning and Scheduling for the NASTE 2016 Season (14 replies, posted in NASTE)
Bill: I am willing to go with Sunday racing. It would interesting to see if more racers can attend, as they may not have kids activity's to attend, and there should be a lot less congested traffic problems to contend with. I feel it would be worth while to find out what day/schedule works best to gather more racers, which i feel means more fun. It might be we may need to rotate/schedule both days to allow more people to race.

Re: Old Wheels & Tires (13 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Bill: Sorry to hear you are still not back to normal, hope that starts to change soon for you.
Thanks for the "big Orange" info, i will definitely have to see if i can find it on my side of town. I have cox part that need to be cleaned. Be interesting to hear what you find after the soaked tires have dried out to find out if they stay soft.
Chet'; i have tried/used oven cleaner to clean some model car styrene bodies, if i remember correctly it pretty much worked on paint jobs that were sprayed over primer, but the smell and caustic ingredients (use "good" gloves) were not pleasant to work with. I read (on line) that Simple green does work (very slowly) but that post 1962 model car styrene parts can be left in for extended (weeks) periods, i believe it will not attack clear parts. I would definitely constantly check in short time periods on any other "plastic you want to strip. I am used to using brake fluid on my post 1962 model car stripping projects, do not put clear parts in brake fluid, it will fog it.

Re: Mitch: what are you building (53 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Well Rico that's more positive than "maybe"! Hey guys i was thinking ( i know i shouldn't) about running the BRM 512's 917's & include (existing plastic chassis) same vintage years model car bodies mounted. How about, if we were to get more racers, creating a parallel class to existing BRM class, maybe called "BRM 24th Vintage" where we run the cars at a lower voltage (as crash & burn?), or just laps counted only (no fastest times included). This would not be about fastest laps, but total laps accumulated. What do you guys think?

Re: Mitch: what are you building (53 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
To my knowledge i do not know if we are going to run a class for these. I bought mine because i do have a 917 (now i need a alum chassis for it), and i just really like this particular Sunoco car. I wouldn't mind running the car as long as we are not tearing them up like our BRM Porsche 962/956 cars. Just my 1/2 cents.
