NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (Page 86 of 86)

Great night of racing, good turn out. There was three different  winners. Had a new racer join the fun. Rico race report will break down all the details.

Race report March 13

8 racers braved Portland traffic and weather to show up at Rippin' Ridin' Raceway to do battle. Up first was the always popular CanAm class. Al managed to complete 3 stellar runs to to beat me by.7 of a lap with Doc right behind me .3 of of a lap. Talk about close racing! In fact all the racers did well this round with David, Greg and Douglass putting in nice runs followed by Ellliot and his son Neil who was a first time racer at Al's.

Next up was the points race. Doc picked out the fastest of his fleet of cars for this class and led the field, followed by me and then Al. There was plenty of close racing through out the pack. This is going to be a fun class.

Open class was next, we lost David for this race so only seven racers competed.  After the dust settled it was me earning the win by a lap over Al and Doc with his previously victorious F-1 machine. That's it for now, hope to see you at the races soon.

Race results from the March 27 race:

Race results for the April 3rd race:

During the April 7th Odd Monday racing at Rob's Redline Raceway in Vancouver a proposal was submitted. The proposal was to add a NASTE 1/32 class of racing to the Odd Monday program. Testing of 1/32 production cars showed that Revoslot and NSR cars run very well on Rob's track! After running this idea past Al, owner of Rippin' Ridin' Raceway, I put together some very basic rules for the class. The rules can be read in the "Rules" section of the NASTE website under Class 14 - Open Production Class.

Highlights include: This is an Open Class for production plastic type chassis available from retail manufacturers. Scratchbuilt chassis, brass or plastic, are NOT allowed.

Potential cars brands include Revoslot, NSR, Thunderslot, Slot.it, etc.

Cars may be modified but must retain the original complete interior.

The original chassis must be used.

Motor is open. (Rob's Redline Raceway is a FAST track! Higher RPM motors than those supplied in the production cars may be suitable i.e 30K + ?).

This new class is a starting point for a proposed addition to the NASTE program, adding races at Rob's Redline Raceway in Vancouver. These basic rules may be modified or added to suite the Odd Monday racing program. The Odd Monday racing program was developed to give a variety of racers an opportunity to race on days other than Saturdays. The early start allows retired guys to attend without fighting traffic, and having a later start for additional races allows racers that still have jobs to attend.

The first experimental race for this proposal will be held at Rob's next race on Monday April 21st.
Doors Open with Open Track at 2:00PM. The First Races start at 3:00PM, Womp Class, Flexi Class, and this new Open Production Class will be included in the day's racing.

Pizza Dinner is served at 5:00PM!

The second round of racing starts at 6:00PM to allow working racers to attend. Again, this is an experiment in an effort to enhance the racing at both Rob's Redline Raceway and Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway!

So there it is, let's hear your rebuttles and sugestions!
