I don't see any rules Bill.

Guess I have to read new posts slower!

Yes, those were very spacey cars. Thanks to Amanda for the little guys in them. Terry did a great job fixing them up too.

Thanks too Bill for the very nice compliments on your story for our race. So many nice things you said and it made Terry's night. He read it yesterday and when he got back on the computer last night, he called me down here so I could read the story. I'm so glad you enjoyed the race at our home!

You're welcome Bill. They each have 2 views so you and I at least watched them!

Here are the Halloween race videos. Better late than never.

Thanks again for coming out to race on Saturday. I'm glad you had a good time and got plenty to eat. So sorry to Rico for his super bad luck all night. Glad you did have some fun though!
Here are some videos from the evening. Too bad I didn't get the one race where Rico was teasing Monte with his car.

Thanks for coming out to race! It was great having you all there. Sure seemed like everyone had fun.

Terry did a great job on those Space Race cars. Very happy they held together all night.

Congrats to Dave and Terry (home track advantage) on winning!

Here are the pictures from the night. Will throw up the videos later.

WOW! Discussion on whether I'm an Expert? I'm flattered, but confused.
I see the rules now that Bill has explained them, but does that mean then that everyone who has gotten 20, 19 or 18 points for a race is now an expert because that is what is given to 1st, 2nd and 3rd? If so, then there are a lot of people who need to get moved up too. Looking at the totals on the points board, Thomas has a 20 and two 18's, Todd has two 19's, Russell has a 20 and 18, Tyler has two 19's, Victoria has a 20 and 18, June has a 20 and 18, Mitch has two 19's, Perry has an 18 and Kira has an 18. I have three 19's. So by those totals, we have a lot of people who have come in 1st, 2nd or 3rd overall in the total for a night of racing, so does that mean we all move up to Expert?
I'm so confused.

Just sent the photo link out to you on FB too if we are friends. Sorry Bill. You don't seem to be on FB any longer so I sent them to Diane. Please apologize to her for me if it was an intrusion.

Glad you enjoyed your beach trip Bill. What a great win at the casino too! Can't do much better than that! What a find on the model too. You were in the right place at the right time.

Thanks Howie for commenting and posting your point of view. I'm still learning all the ins and outs. That's why I'm asking questions about rules, tracks and scoring. I hope I never throw a tantrum to get thrown out of your place because that would mean I'm horrible since it takes a LOT to get you angry. Hope you were able to sleep last night.

You're welcome Bill. I do like making sweet treats.

Thank you Bill for taking time to explain some things and give your point of view. Yes, I do believe getting screwed is a rule. LOL It's too bad some people get more than their fair share of that bad luck though. Some people are naturally more lucky than others. You can adapt, evolve and try to overcome adversity, but sometimes that is impossible with bad luck.

Forgive me for not knowing something that might be obvious to others, but that's why I'm asking. Maybe I'll understand better with more knowledge.

Which brings up another question to my mind. Why is the Salem race allowed to be different and run with no tenths factored in? If it's total laps accumulated over all of the heats, doesn't that make a huge difference by not using tenths? I recall several NASTE race finishes that were won or lost by a tenth or so. Tenths could play a big part in where you finish for the season too as results from races not using tenths could have different people in different places and points awarded would be different.

Another nickels worth.

Thanks for a night of racing. The trip to and from was an adventure, but Bill is a splendid driver and he can chauffeur me any time! Thanks Bill. I like practicing on that track. Too bad there weren't more racers, but know the snow kept some away. Very lucky for the Expert racer who got to go up against the Amateurs though.
Dave built some terrific cars because they sure took a beating, but kept on running!! Amazing! I really thought I'd broken one for sure.
Here are the pictures I took from Saturday. Got only a couple of racing ones as I was marshaling. Yes, they had ME on a corner and still managed to crash in front of me. *headshake* Will they never learn?
Thanks to Art for the use of his track. Wish it were a little closer to town so we could race on it more often.
