Not mine. I'm missing an orange handled pair. They are probably around here some place.

Re: NASTE Thursdays
Actually let's give thanks to the real heroes of the day: Bill, Len and George. They battled heat and an ever-increasing accumulation of flying insects to give the new track some firm support. George even cleaned up the wiring for the start/stop circuits and verified my schematic. And that's good news for Rico. The circuit is incredibly simple.
I did what I do best, get out of the way and hold things when asked.
This track's gonna need a name as woon as it gets a personality. On the very positive side, the surface is very smppth and offers great traction.

Re: NASTE Thursdays
Howie, Thanks for opening your track for us last night! I had a great time!!!
For those of you who couldn't make it, we held NASTE Thursday at Howie's Rapid Raceway last night. We did some testing with a variety of 1/32 "model" race cars to se how they would run on the 1/24 wood routed track. I must say I was surprised at how well most of the cars ran even "box" stock! Out of the box I would have to say the Slot.It cars seemed to be the best. However Monte's Ninco McLaren also worked extremely well!
I tested my SCX NASCARs I had set up for the BSCC Summer Series at Marshall Field. On Marshall Field's Scalextric Sport Track my COT NASCAR was not as good as my older style "aero" NASCAR. However on the wood routed non-magnetic track, my COT car was clearly faster and cornered much better!
Howie, Beau, and John Gill also had some of the GT1 Schoeler chassised cars on hand. This new GT1 class looks like it will be quite popular. The cars are powered by Falcon 7 motors and they're quite fast! The handling of the hard bodied cars is also much better than you would expect! These things flat fly!!!!
Terry Abbott came up with a great suggestion for an IROC class for NASTE's upcoming season! More on that soon!!!! ------Bill

But it was not quite as fast as someone's "aero" car. Hmm, I wonder whose that car was.......
