Mitch, I'd be very interested, but I'm out of town 9/2-9/13. Unless you're running very soon, I won't be around until later.

Well, the Airbnb business is so good that the first free dates I have for racing at my overhauled track are all in October. I have the 13th through the 16th available if anybody is interested. Please let me know ASAP so I can block the calendar to ensure that we keep any of those dates open.
Thanks!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,095 replies, posted in NASTE)
I have been busy with repairing the driver stations on my track. Just now getting to where everything operates properly after the destruction the construction workers managed to do while our "shop" was being renovated into the new Airbnb space.
I'm glad to say the track is now completely done! So I can actually practice and test cars. I fully intend to get back into racing, but haven't got good cars for a lot of the classes we race. I will probably be at the next one, though!
I HAVE MISSED IT!!!

Re: Scaleauto 12h of Tacoma (8 replies, posted in Events)
I need to talk to Alan about something else anyway; I'll see if the plans have progressed at all beyond just thinking about it, and when the proposed races might be held.

Re: Scaleauto 12h of Tacoma (8 replies, posted in Events)
I recently had cause to speak with Alan about a potential 24 Hours of Tacoma race this year. He said that he's not planning one, but had considered some "monthly endurance-type races" of 3-6 hours for teams from the usual areas. So four months of 6-hour races to determine the overall 24-hour team winner. Would any of our NASTE folks be interested in such a series? I'm always up for racing!
Just reply in this space. If there's enough interest, I'll let Alan know.

Re: The Impossible has happened... (11 replies, posted in Track)
Even more impossible news. It only took two and a half years, but after getting the county to allow us to have a completely legal Airbnb building in what was a shop apartment, basically rebuilding the entire structure, and adding a lot of extras, I now have a comfortable, inviting space for slot racing.
In addition to the track itself, the Game Room location has air hockey, table tennis, a 64-game arcade table (PacMan and a bunch of other arcade games), a 75" flat screen TV, lots of seating, a full-size refrigerator for beverages, microwave, toaster oven, electric fireplace console, and a full bath and half bath. You can see pics of the whole place at our Airbnb listing at: https://tinyurl.com/hxnkznk2
Monte has posted pics of the track under the "Tracks" section of the NASTE website.

My track will be up and running in time if Al is not ready or would prefer to avoid. Plus, there will be lots to do if you're tired of racing: Air Hockey, Ping Pong, 64-game arcade table, 75" TV....
Pix available in a few days.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,095 replies, posted in NASTE)
I would love it if NASTE were a part of this program. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend tonight (putting the finishing touches on the renovated Airbnb space—which is FINALLY DONE!!!!!), so my .02 will have to be in this message. The project turned out fantastically, and the track will be ready to race as soon as I replace the stuff that was damaged during construction (lap counter light bridge and some fencing).
Have a great race tonight!

Re: Odd Thursday (18 replies, posted in Events)
I agree, Doc! Trouble is, if I don't get this done, I lose money...we have our first Airbnb guests booked for Memorial Day, so the place HAS to be finished. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Have fun, guys! Working to finish up the renovated game room. Furniture is now in, doors and trim going up, lights and plumbing finishing. Will have final paint starting on Friday.
We should be ready for a race in June! (He's said that before, right?)

SWMBO and I get our 2nd shot on 4/5. Drywall is up in the Game Room, they're coming to do the finish work tomorrow. After that, it's paint and flooring, then we can move everything back in. Should be ready to host a race by the end of April.
It's been 2 YEARS in the making. Thought we'd never get there.
