I always enjoyed talking with Dennis and he always had time for me. He will be missed.

Nice! Thanks Bill.

Thanks for fixing the forum Monte. Let's see if I can now post one picture!

Nope. lol

Okay. I still can't post pictures here, but you can see them plus the videos from Bill on the FB NASTE page.

We had a gathering tonight at Al's home to race, but mainly to open a gift we were given by our new friend Shayne! He sent a Christmas gift all the way from Australia! We opened the gift and found Vegemite and TimTam biscuits inside, so we set about trying them out! Bill got the white bread Shayne requested we use for the Vegemite and as soon as we all had a piece in our hands, we proceeded to give it a try! I think we all enjoyed the TimTams much better than the Vegemite, but now we can all say we've at least tried Vegemite! 
Thanks Shayne! ❤

Hmm...Okay. I tried to post a couple of photos, but none showed up. Maybe it's just too late and my brain isn't working right.
I'll try again another time.

I joined this forum on 11-11-11, so it's been 11 years of reading and writing posts here.
So many slot car races!
Thanks to everyone who has hosted a race, fed us, supplied cars and fixed cars.
I've had a great time and learned a lot.
Hope to race again regularly one of these years!

Thank you Howie for allowing us once again to run our dressed up cars on your fun track! I certainly had a great time. There were 8 racers (Rico had to leave early and couldn't race) and even more cars. Some of us needed to use back up cars! It was great to see all of you again and meet Doug! Thanks for hosting Howie! Thank you Bill for the Tacos, Bart for the pizza, Rico for the chicken and Al for the meat and cheese platter! There might have only been 8 racers, but there was enough food for a dozen or more. Thanks for an enjoyable evening. Here are my photos for the night!!
Okay. Looks like I'll have to do one picture per post? I will do a few and add more later as I don't think I'll have time to do them all tonight. lol

EDITED: I'll have to look tomorrow to see if I can figure this out. My photo didn't seem to post? IDK It's been a while since I've posted and I guess I've forgotten how to do it. I'm sorry. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks again!!

EDITED ONCE AGAIN! This is a PUBLIC post on Facebook so anyone can view! I realized that I stopped using Photobucket because of all their restrictions now, so FB is where I put all my photos. smile I hope the link comes through okay. If it doesn't could someone explain to me how to post photos here? Thanks!

Thank you Howie for generously offering your track once again for the Halloween race. We all appreciate it! I've posted on the NASTE FB page, but for those not on FB, here it is again.

Also, doors open at what time? I need to let Victoria know what time we'll be picking up the pizza. Thank you!


Halloween Race. October 30th. I hope this is okay to post here.
Victoria has generously offered to donate pizza for that night (I'd rather they be there themselves, but understand) and we'll pick it up on our way. I'll be bringing sweets. I've been making a few.
Also have reusable plates and silverware I can bring. Yes, they'll be washed clean.

I didn't see this any where and wasn't sure if I should post, but Jimmy wanted me to share the photos and I also wanted to thank Howie for allowing us to race again on his wonderful track. It was great to see the cars dressed up and to visit with those who came out to race. smile

Thanks for a great night of racing, good food and chatting! Good games too Victoria!

I thought Terry got second in the second race though? Did totals get messed up? Just wondering. smile

Good idea Bill. Thanks! I'll fix up a container of veggies to bring along with the chocolates so I'm not just bringing bad for you stuff. smile

Hi! I just found out from Terry two hours ago that there is a race tonight. Victoria just sent me a text asking about the meal plan for this evening. Anything happening with that? Is Bob taking care of it? Are we doing pot luck? I didn't realize there was a race, so I didn't make anything new. Left over candy I can bring though. smile

Well, I was sorry to hear you were selling it Bill, but guess that means I'll have to come out there for a race one of these times before it goes. I sure liked racing on it. smile

I'm really sorry. I totally forgot to post pictures here of the race. They are on my Facebook wall as well as the video of this race. They are posted as public, so even if we aren't friends, you can still see them. I don't think I ever uploaded them to Photobucket, but here's the link to the YouTube video. Sorry about that. Was a little busy around that time. smile Thanks to everyone who came out to race at our place. I had fun and glad you did too.

Thank you Howie for allowing us to run again on your wonderfully fun track!!! I always like racing there.

Great job on the costumed cars people! Such imaginations. I didn't get a couple of the cars, so am hoping Bill or someone else did. I even forgot my own, but I took one a few minutes ago in the garage.

Nice to see all of you there and great chatting with you. Glad you dressed up a bit for us Sherry!!

Thanks for all of the good food too! YUM! Had been wanting chips for a while Tracy! smile

Here are the photos I took last night. Watched the videos I took and I got the car flying off the track and a few unexpected lane changes and crashes. I'll get them put together eventually. My night videos are just as dark as usual. tongue

Thank you Howie for allowing us to race on your fun track! That was terrific! I always like racing there!

Congrats to Bill for his awesome win. Pretty darn fitting for the 20th anniversary of NASTE.

Thank you to everyone who brought out food! Yum! It was very delicious!

Those cars were flashy and very fun to drive. They just zoomed around the track.

Here are the pictures I took on Sunday.

Will see you at noon and hopefully it'll cool off enough to do some baking before the weekend so I have treats to bring. Thanks for letting us know it's pot luck style!

Hi Bill. Thanks.
Yes, I read through all of these posts again carefully and slowly because you said "Please remember I am NOT talking about changing the weekend NASTE events." and I figured I read something wrong!

I did miss a couple of points and read some things wrong, so I apologize for my mistake.

I thought you were doing away with the 'socializing' aspect of the racing completely and couldn't understand that because it seems like those races are the only races that are NOT too serious and mainly just for fun.

Since you are just talking about the Point Series Championship, it has nothing to do with me, so my opinions and thoughts do not matter. smile I did think it was working well this year though since you had those participating in the Point Series separate from the rest of us who just like to race those cars.

Since you are NOT changing the weekend NASTE races, I'm very happy to continue coming to the social events. big_smile

Thank you Monte for volunteering to take over the administration duties of the weekend NASTE races.
