Thanks Doc, it started coming back a little. Mostly it was that car of yours, it was dialed! Thanks again for letting me run it!

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!

Re: 2018 Portland Adult Soapbox Derby (45 replies, posted in NASTE)
Scuderia Kouba has been trying to find volunteers interested in joining our team as car pushers. We are pleased to announce our quest is over. This year Scuderia Kouba has enlisted the help of The United States Marines! Yes, you read that correctly! The U.S. Marines' insignia will be proudly displayed on the Scuderia Kouba cars. In a visit to the local Marine Recruiting Center here in Vancouver, we had 5 Marines volunteer for our team as car pushers! These volunteers are helping us out ON THEIR OWN OFF DUTY TIME! We are very proud and honored to have them onboard! THANK YOU MARINES!

You got 'em Al. I won't be able to make it tomorrow night. I'll try to make the first August race and bring the trophy and some of these bags.

Topic: Controller Bags/Covers (4 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
Fellow racers, if you are looking for something nice to protect your controller during transport and storage, I have some nice Crown Royal Liquor bags. If you haven't seen them before, they are made of a soft velvet-like material and have a draw string to close them tight. Courtesy of The Stagecoach Saloon in Fairview Oregon and the Scuderia Kouba gravity racing team I have acquired a small stock of these bags. We are making them available for FREE to any slot racers that frequents this site. I am planning to attend the August 9th Odd Thursday Night Race at Al's at which time I will bring a supply of them with me. If you would like to get one or two of the bags please respond to this message here on the forum. If you are unable to attend the race at Al's I can either leave the bags there with Al, or ship them to you by U.S. Postal Service. ========Bill
