My shop stays nice and cool. I suppose if I keep the overhead door open that won't be the case. But fortunately there is still some left to do with the door closed!

Thanks for that vote of confidence Doc!
I'm just about ready to start the tear down for the upgrades I'm planning. The 180 degree hairpin should be coming off by the end of next week.

Just to clarify, the Halloween race does not count for points.
I have not heard of any plans, comments, or ideas about adding tracks to the line up. There are some nice new tracks out there that could surely be added if the interest is there!

Re: NASTE 2021 Point Series Championship (23 replies, posted in NASTE)
The NASTE Point Series Championship was moved to races held on Odd Thursdays awhile back. The IROC races were no longer scored as part of the Point Series Championship. I feel this is now the best venue and format for the Point Series Championship. There is much more of a competitive feel to the Odd Thursday night races in my opinion, therefore more pertinent to a point series. The IROC races had their own championship.

Topic: NASTE 2021 Point Series Championship (23 replies, posted in NASTE)
This might be a good time to start discussing the NASTE 2021 Point Series Championship.
Things we could start thinking about are a start date for the series, any changes that might be made to the format, and the classes to be raced for the championship.
Racing for many of the past series started in September, but with this COVID 19 situation I'm sure everyone has concerns about when to start gathering together.
A tentative date has been set for the annual NASTE Halloween Race. October 31st is on a Saturday this year and Howie has agreed to have Rapid Raceway host the race again this year on that date. Depending on when everyone is comfortable to start getting together the Halloween Race could also be a kick off race for the 20121 season.
Please post up any concerns or ideas you might have! Let's start the dialog!

You will need to make your own pans out of any material to be bolted to the "rattle pan" only. You can make a front pan. You can make your own motor mount or stiffen up the stock one if need be. you can stiffen up the "rattle pan", I use J-B weld with piano wire along and across the pan, ( works very well ), May ream out axle housings to fit American bushings/bearings.
