My Jiada cars are in! Time for a little testing!!!  ------------------Bill

Hey Rico, I don't think the details of the Tifosi IROC class have been finalized. It looks to me like that will be a separate series not connected to  the NASTE Point Series. The EJ's kits are very cool and a super bargain! If we could get enough interest for maybe 3 other members to buy a kit, assemble it, and volunteer theirs for one of our IROC races I would go for that. I would be willing to volunteer one for our races. As far as something similar, I'll check through my old chassis, I may have enough of another vintage chassis to put together some similar cars. If anybody else has some old vintage 1/24 stuff they would be willing to use in our IROC races let me know. Maybe between a few of us we could race something different? I'll check this weekend and make a list of what I have available (Larry - this maybe our chance to get a vintage class going!!!!????).   -----------------------------Bill

John, I've already heard it was another great event! I'm sorry I had to miss it!  --------------------Bill

I don't think I'd have the heart to crash one even if I had 6 of each! Besides, they really don't look like they were built to be run. It appears making them "race ready" was not a priority....   ---------------Bill

Phwew, I was thinking maybe it was your "race" arm.....of course that could have been an advantage for the rest of us!!!!  ----------------------Bill

No, I didn't notice. I haven't actually taken it out of the tin to take a good look at it. I was trying to figure out the differences between the Gurney and the McCluskey to see if I HAD to have both.....  --------------Bill

Thanks Rico, and yes I'll be out from time to time. There's just so much racing going on all around now that I can't make time for everything. In the past I haven't done any racing at all during the summer. These last couple of years I've worked in a bit more, but it's put me behind on everything else. Right now I'm just trying to make sure everything is set for the upcoming NASTE season. I keep telling myself one of these years I'm going to just race with some of the other clubs. For quite a few years I've been wanting to make more OSCAR races. The OSCAR races take more time and dedication for me. I'm not a fast car builder, and as you know I like to be at least somewhat competetive. So that means lots of time commitment for me to race the OSCAR events (again that's me). That's the one thing that has made the 1/32 scale cars so enjoyable for me. I can get the cars set up or built much quicker than I can build 1/24 OSCAR or PASER cars. The 1/24 NASTE cars have also filled a "time gap" for me. They are pretty quick and easy to build as well. Well, enough ramblin' on. I'll see you at the races!  ------------------------Bill

That's funny, a lot of them look like kid's toys to me! I'm looking forward to trying to make "racers" out of them...... I always tell the guys at work; "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit"........... we'll see.  ---------------------Bill

I had ordered two from an Ebay seller. My plan was to try them out as potentila IRCO cars. After reading the review I went ahead and ordered four more. These things are CHEAP, and NASTE needs a set of IROC cars to run at Kimm's 1/32 routed track in Eugene. I'll try them out when they arrive to see if they are suitable. I'll keep ya'll posted.  ------------------------Bill
