Some excellent racing took place last night at Rippin' Ridin' Raceway. The first class to start of the night was for Classic Sportscar Div. 2. These cars have been refined to a point where the cars are way faster than the sponsor of the class ever thought they would be! Overall lap totals for a race are close to those of the Open Class! Doc won beating Mitch in second place by five laps.
After Doc got done slapping us around in the Classic Sportscar 2 Class, the Le Mans cars were gridded for the second race in the 2019 point series. This race was very close with only a lap separating the top four cars. In the end Al successfully defended his title as Champion for the second week in a row, besting the field for the win.
For those racers that stuck around, we lined up the Open Class cars for a third race. Some really fast lap times were turned, but lap totals reflect quite a few get-offs. These cars are really fast but on the edge. In this race it was Doc again leading the way to the checkered flag. No second places last night for the Deuce!
Here's the results-
Classic Sports Car 2:
1 Daniel 75.4 Laps
2 Mitch 70.5
3 Rico 69.7
4 Gary 65.9
5 Al 65.2
6 Monte 65.2
7 Stan 63.3
8 Jeff 62.9
9 Victoria 57.5
10 Bill 51.3
Le Mans Class - NASTE 2019 Point Series Championship Race No.2 @ Rippin' Ridin' Raceway:
1 Al 70.8 Laps
2 Monte 70.0
3 Daniel 69.7
4 Jeff 69.3
5 Gary 67.8

7 Bill 66.8

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,165 replies, posted in NASTE)
OK, so I'm making some progress. Last race I had managed to acquire a Slot.it Chaparral 2E for the Can Am Class. I raced it in stock configuration and was pretty happy with the car. As of today I still have not found my "race" cars but I did manage to acquire another new car for the Le Mans Class. My choice was a Fly Ford GT40 MKI, mostly because it was the cheapest thing I could find that fit the class. So today I tried to get it ready for tomorrow night's race. I had forgotten what pieces of crap these Fly cars are. The bodies are beautiful but the rest is crap! I replaced the guide flag, added a little lead, and did a little grinding here and there to unbind the body to chassis fit. The race prep work is a little tough right now because I have not yet located all my slot car tools either. Luckily I have lots of Dremel Tools and have found some of them scattered here and there! We'll see how the GT40 works tomorrow night, but everyone knows I'm not known for my car building expertise!

It was yet another outstanding NASTE Halloween Race! The annual NASTE Halloween Race has been a favorite of mine since the first event held in 1996. Over the years only one or two Halloween races have missed the schedule. These races are just plain fun, pretty silly, but crazy and fun all the same!
A BIG thanks goes out to Monte and Victoria for all their work in planning and scheduling the races for this past NASTE season, and for supplying the awesome end of the season awards! And a thanks to all that brought out food and participated in this year's Halloween race!
Winding down after the race.
