NSR- It's the same purple one I've had for a while. I just painted the roof and added the decals and some other detailing. I had lost the rear wing so I made one fit that was a spare off of my Scalextric Aston Martin.

Topic: Penguin Point Raceway - First Sunday Series Results - July (14 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
What could more American on the Fourth of July than a good ol' knock out, drag down slot car race? Thanks to Monte and Victoria that's exactly what we did and had hot dawgs and hanburgers too! As always a good time was had by all including those dressed as elephants. The highlight of the day was Monte grabbing a weapon and sprinting, yes I said sprinting, to the back yard. What caused such a turmoil? Why the mere mention of a Blue Heron in the Koi pond of course.
Thanks again

Hey Mike- the link is on the Naste Home Page right under the picture. Then click on "new track at TooBad Motorplex". It's not in the forum section.

Re: Schedule Gone Out Of Bounds... (13 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
Have you actually sat down and looked at a 2011 calender? I don't see where any of the 1st Sundays fall on an actual holiday. July and September are holiday weekends but not the holiday itself. Looking ahead to July of this year. The 1st Sunday is the 4th but what could be more American than having a slot car race? The rest of the year looks pretty clear except Labor Day weekend in September where it's not the actual holiday. This will be an issue every year because Labor Day falls on the first weekend of Sept. The end of my smart remarks.

Topic: June 1st Sunday Series (0 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
Howdy friends.
The race originally scheduled for this Sunday at Penguin Point Raceway is instead going to be held at Rico and AJ's Autumn Hills Raceway in Milwaukie. We're moving there since it's also the site of AJ's graduation party. So come on out and race some Fly Classics with us and welcome AJ into the real world.
Track opens at 2pm and we'll start racing as soon as we get a crowd.

Re: NASTE for 2011 (61 replies, posted in NASTE)
You might add Rapid Raceway aka Howie to the list. Sundays might not work real well for me plus they might conflict with Monte and Victorias First Sunday Series. If you settle on the 1st Saturday, you could always shove the New Years race back one weekend. There's also the 2nd and 4th Saturday still not discussed.

I keep it at the 8-plex that you helped me on for the furnace and the gas leak. It can be broken down into two pieces so it will fit in the Toaster.

In regards to "Are you willing to be part of the solution?", I guess I don't fully understand the problem? I didn't think there was a problem, I'm just not sure what road NASTE should go down next season, or if it should even turn a tire?
There appears to be a lot of viewers on this topic. I'd sure like to hear from some of the newer racers also! ---------------------------Bill
That is what I was trying to say- we need some more input, not that there is a problem, sorry for the poor choice of words. Look at the user list and the number of posts for each user. This forum is for everyone, not just the top three users.

Re: NASTE 2010 Schedule (12 replies, posted in NASTE)
Maybe Naste is at a cross roads? Most of the long time Naste racers are primarily 1/24 racers while the newer members are more 1/32 based. We only raced on one 1/24 track this year (two times once the season is over) and the rest have/will been/be 1/32. I do think that some of the 1/24 track owners would be willing to host a Naste event, they just need to be asked. This subject came up at the last GT-1 race at Howie's. That being said, how many of the the 1/24 guys are willing to run 1/32 on a consistant basis?
Once again, I'm raising more questions than answers, but the way I see it is that the 1/24 and 1/32 groups need to come to some kind of consensus or we will not be able to get this done. Keep in mind this is just my opinion based on what I've seen/heard in the relatively short time I've been racing with all of you. Are you willing to be part of the solution?
