Late this evening I received a couple of phone calls regarding the OSCAR race which was to be held at Electron Raceway on Saturday, October sixth. The bottom line is that after several cancellations, at most, only 6 people might attend. Sorry folks, not enough for a race. I regret that the Trans-Am race will be cancelled. I have no plans to reschedule.

Topic: GONE! - Large Carrera 4 Lane Slot Car Track & Cars For Sale! (0 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
Dennis Hart needs to find a new home for the Hawksbill Station in part or whole. 40 foot double banked 4 lane Carrera Track. Power supply. Those lovely station terminals. 2 Monitors. Good computer - ready and programmed. One analog controller. About 12 or more working cars. Nifty little box to carry six cars. Tool box full of slot car parts. Movable wiring for the entire system. Many 1/32 scale spectators. Grandstand. Etc.
He's looking for someone to come and get it all. He will help disassemble to move. $300 for EVERYTHING. Well over $300 invested in this set up!
This is a great opportunity for someone to pick up a complete track along with quite a few cars. The Carrera track could also be converted to digital.

It was really nice to make it out to a NASTE Odd Thursday Night Race at Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway. I've missed everybody and it was great to see you all and get a chance to talk and catch up a little. It looks like I've fallen way behind in the area of performance and at the same time it is obvious the racers have not only improved the performance of their cars but also their driving skills as well! Thanks to Al for the great track and racing, and thanks to Doc and Greg for loaning me equipment to race with!

I do not believe there is a race on the 23rd. The calendar does not show a race that night and I believe Al mentioned he will be out of town.

Re: 2018 Portland Adult Soapbox Derby (45 replies, posted in NASTE)
Race day is quickly approaching and we have ramped up our work to get fully prepared!
Scuderia Kouba has scheduled a day for car pushing practice with the United States Marine Corps. Sounds pretty cool huh? On Wednesday morning August 8th we will be setting up for practice in the Vancouver Mall parking lot. We plan to use a small portion of the parking area on the west side of the mall, close to Thurston Way in Vancouver. Thurston Way is one of the Vancouver Mall exits off of SR500.
We plan to be at the mall location by 8:30 am with all the Scuderia Kouba cars. We need to unload and get set up and ready for the Marines arrival by 9:00 am. I estimate the practice session will last no longer than one hour as the Marines have a busy schedule of their own. After that it will just be a matter of loading the cars back up and cleaning up the test site. I realize mid morning middle of the week is not a good time for most, but if you have time available and would like to help us out with this endeavor please let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
