Welcome John!

You'll get lots of info out of the group and as you can see from the site we've got quite a few tracks around to play on.

Hi John,

Welcome, if you go to the main index page and find the heading "NASTE" and click it you can then click on various races and the individual races will have links to pictures and videos from some of our craziness.

Bill's every odd Thursday races are composed of two classes and the rules can be found here: http://www.naste.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=477

Monte's First Sunday series we run Ninco brand GT cars and another heat of "IROC" cars that are provided by the host.

More info and cars can be found here:  http://www.fantasyworldhobbies.com/

It varies but week day evenings are probably the best.
