Things are still pretty messy and unorganized in the shop, but I can see some of the floor and have a little bench room for a place to work and get some things accomplished. I have been able to get a couple cars together and attend the last two races at Rapid Raceway. As of now I have still been unable to locate the 1/32 cars I used for racing, so I picked up a couple new cars for the classes being raced in the first part of the NASTE point series. I am on schedule to make the first Odd Thursday point race as well as the NASTE Halloween race, so I am making some progress. I am looking forward to getting back into the racing. Now that things are a little more settled, I am trying to do a better job of reporting the races and getting photos for the NASTE website. Now if I could just find my slot car tools.............
