Next season winner? I think you should go retro-active on those. And thanks to Dorothy for providing us so much in the way of pictures and video from this past season. We had a great time.

Yes, so did we. Thanks for hosting Larry.
As for myself, it was probably the first time I've won a 1:24 scale race since before I had a drivers license. Victoria's comment: "I felt like i did pretty good".

Re: NASTE CARLO (18 replies, posted in NASTE)
More useful information:
The final stage which will be conducted at the Penguin Point Rally track will involve SCX standard track which means a shorter guide blade will be desired since the old-style slots aren't as deep as the newer style. Competitors will be allowed to substitute a different guide blade or trim the existing one if clearance is an issue.
This will be the ONLY adjustment contestants will be allowed during the event other than repair situations arising from on course issues.
In the case of on course issues involving a contestants car (breakdown) the clock will continue to run while repairs are affected.

Re: NASTE CARLO (18 replies, posted in NASTE)
Here's an additional bit for the rules.
Cars in Modern Class and Group B will be split into two classifications - AWD and 2WD.
This now gives us five different scoring classifications.

Topic: First Sunday Series - April - No Foolin' (2 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
A pleasant group of 11 racers came to the Point this past Sunday to do battle with the NC-5 powered cars from Ninco. Many others were probably still suffering their Saturday night NASTE hangover. And in the first set it was Rico rocking to a near-perfect first set and a total of 51 points. Monte was just behind with a total of 50 after losing a heat to the previous night's winner Terry. But in the second set the Big Smooth pulled it together and got a 15 lap heat on White. It was the first 15 lap heat of the day. He then ran another 15 lap heat in the yellow lane and I think that is a Sunday first for the NC-5 cars. A big thanks to Victoria for another excellent pot of soup and of course Dorothy's famous chocolate recipes. Nothing like a First Sunday.
Monte Saager - 103 pts.
Rico Locati - 101
Terry Abbott - 97
Dorothy Abbott - 90
Greg Petrolati - 90
Tracy Flood - 90
Steven Ennis - 88
Jimmy Jones - 82
Russell Flood - 81
Bryan Dickinson - 77
Victoria Saager - 76
Lifetime points will be updated. We'll see you in May.

Topic: New Track Format coming to the Pen (1 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
That's right! I made a deal. I traded off half of my SCX Rally Track with my extra Rally Chrono Unit for a great selection of SCX Off Road track and a few off road trucks.
The great thing here is that as you can see from the picture, it includes the set that transits from paved to dirt. That paved section will also connect up to that other half of the Rally track that I still have.

And as you can see I still have some rally track left. Should work out to be quite the track.

I expect it will arrive next Tuesday. Oh, the excitement!
